Me vs Aramark

So. I'm about to tell a tale of jelly & margarine. You may think it's petty, but rest assured...it is not. This is a serious matter!


My office building has all Aramark food service. I'm sure I don't have to list the numerous reasons why that sucks. Many of you who experience the Aramark Kiss of Food probably already know why they suck. But anyway, in my particular building..there are the regular 'food ladies'. The ladies who take your money. They charge you for everything, then short you on change. It's a big fat circle of greed. Anyway, every morning (up until recently) I stop in the cafe to get a styrocup of ice water and sometimes some toast & eggs. I always get charged .04 cents for water. That always pisses me off, but usually not enough for me to do anything about it. However, one morning a while ago, I got charged .09 for a little pack of grape jelly and a little pack of Promise margarine spread. WOAH. BACK UP. 1 pack of jelly and 1 pack of fake butter??!?! I am already getting charged for the toast..why do you have to charge me for the condiment?!? The thing is, you don't get charged for ketchup, mayo, mustard, relish, hot sauce, plastic ware, etc etc because it's placed after the food ladies. I don't get why the little jelly and margarine packets cost .09. So anyway, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Since I buy stuff just about daily there..I decided to start pocketing my 1 packet of jelly & margarine spread. So yes people, I'm a jelly thief and I don't even feel bad about it. The way I look at it, Aramark is just the man, holding me down, charging me for a small little packet of grape jelly and a small little packet of Promise spread. Anyway, if you're with me and you hate Aramark, can I get an 'Amen'?

And thus is what makes Liberals Liberals.

The strongest human desire is not love, nor hate. It is the desire to spend other people's money.

Have you considered buying a box of Jelly packets and Promise spread from a food distributor with your own money and providing it for others at your own expense?

The cost of condiments are 100% loss leader for restaurants.
