Free Soda Pop
If sure you've all heard about Microsoft's generous "free pop for employees". If you haven't, or if you care to hear about it again, here it is: every floor has a kitchen, and inside are two convenience store style display coolers, chock full o' pop, juice and milk. They have the usual suspects: Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Fresca. In the juice department, they have a wide variety: grapefruit, V8, apple, cranberry, and the mystery orange juice. It's mysterious, because it's really hard to identify, since the can has two large apples on the label.
They also have free coffee, and a large variety of free teas. They even have cold filtered water. Wednesdays are free specialty coffee days. That's the day I get my free latte instead of paying $1.75 at the Starbucks in the cafeteria.
Then there's Talking Rain. Worst pop ever. They're going for the whole "all-natural ingredients" which means it tastes like fountain 7up that has run out of syrup. Not my idea of a refreshing drink, but some people like it.
Unlike at one of my previous co-ops, the employees don't have to stock the fridges themselves.
