Who hasn't watched the amenities of their workplace—the absolute basics that you might expect to have in the office break room—slowly eroding?
First, it starts with the coffee. If you had a machine in the workplace, suddenly that's gone, leaving a French Press.

Now, they're no longer providing milk, so everyone has to buy their own or go without. Now, there are five bottles of milk in the fridge and people are constantly arguing over whose is whose and complaining about the fact that people are taking their milk.
