    I don’t want to be ‘that guy’ but the only problem I have with this is when he tells the stocker that his job does not require much physical effort. He is probably driving those big trucks around and constantly moving pallets of heavy drinks on hand trucks which gets heavy real fast. I am not invalidating the point that it should be simple to stock sodas in the proper slots but the point can be made without incorrectly insulting someone’s job. Negating the use of the word ‘absolutely’ instead of ‘absolute’ and the fact that this person is directly insulting the person that provides substances that will be ingested by the office workers. I am an office monkey, not a deliveryman, but I can appreciate the work that is done to provide us with our caffeinated goodness.

    • konkonsn says:

      Agreed. Just because a job doesn’t require sitting at a computer so you can type belittling statements to people who have to do some physical labor in their job doesn’t mean your job is harder.

  2. Al says:

    They spelt “Fibre” wrong and should’ve used “absolute” where they used “absolutely”, but other than that, I take my hat off to whoever posted this note :)

    • Evertide says:

      No, “fiber” is in fact spelled right.

      • Mad_Hatteress says:

        Depends where you are from, just like Litre or Liter, Metre or Metre, Centre or Center.

        • Mad_Hatteress says:

          You always notice the spelling mistake after you hit send, lol. Metre or Meter.

        • Evertide says:

          Still doesn’t change that “fiber” is spelled right.

          • Al says:

            No it isn’t. You’re failing to grasp this simple fact

            • Jake says:

              Yes, moron, it is.
              http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fiber
              Simple fact: typing on the internet to find the correct spelling of a word before making yourself look like a buffoon takes only twenty seconds. Remember that.

              • Oops! says:

                FYI Jake: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fibre

                You shouldn’t be too quick to judge others when it is in
                fact you who actually failed to embark on a more thorough
                fact-finding mission. As its said, “There is more than one
                way to skin a cat.” so is true with attempting to find the
                correct information. Better luck in the future!

                • hg3300 says:

                  How about the fact that “fiber” IS in fact spelled correctly? This soda machine obviously happens to be in America and in American we spell fiber F-I-B-E-R.

                  Al, don’t be an ass. Just because Americans spell more sensibly doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

                  • Blake says:

                    I am an American and I use English spellings. BECAUSE IT IS ENGLISH AND NOT ‘AMERICAN.’
                    Thus, fibre.

                    • Office Monkey says:

                      1)Soda machine is in America.
                      2) Note writer is in America.
                      3) America is not part of Britain.
                      3)a) See “American revolution”
                      3)b) See “war of 1812″
                      4)You don’t speak “English” you speak “The QUEEN’S English”
                      5) Due to point 3) In America NOTHING is the Queen’s anything.

                      In conclusion: You assertion is disproven.

                      The only way that the Queen’s english will ever be the Language spoken in America is if you conquer us and shove it down our throats.

    OMG that picture is PERFECT!!!

  4. J.D. says:

    I have to agree with Mark. I stock vending machines (not those type, but I do stock different types of energy/soda machines) candy, coffee, etc. It is a highly psychical job. I used to have 2 soda machines (like those pictured) and just those 2 required at least 10 cases of 32-pack sodas. They are heavy. Continually lifting up and down is hard work.. I’m not saying it takes a rocket scientist but filling vending machines is not EASY. There are also a variety of reasons that the product may be in the wrong slot, not all of them are driver errors. Just putting my two cents.

    • Mark says:

      I actually own my own Pepsi machine. A business was getting rid of it and didn’t have the key. So I had to move it 3/4 full with cans of soda. When you add all that soda to the weight of a machine that is about 650lbs empty… yeah ouch. Having to remove all those cans and move them into the house by hand made me realize how heavy they get. Not to mention I was surprised to see just how much of a machine stack that a 12 pack of soda cans DOESN’T fill. Thank you J.D. for breaking your back to bring us sodas even though some people have nothing better to do with their time than complain.

      • Alexman says:

        Well, while it may be physically grueling, this vending machine guy still missed. I mean, cmon, Diet Sprite =/= Coca Cola.

        • Edison says:

          Wait, where does it say Diet Sprite? All Sprite is non-caffeinated. And tastes pretty good. Although Dr. Pepper trumps all.

          • Mark says:

            The title of “diet” has to do with the sugar content and using aspartame or sucralose in place of real sugar or corn syrup (mostly high fructose). While all Sprite variations are caffeine free, that is why the colas come in the variations of regular, diet, caffeine free and a combined diet caffeine free.

        • cahill says:

          =/= != !=

  5. WMDKitty says:

    And I, as a non-caffeine drinker, don’t particularly getting a caffeinated soda when I wanted caffeine-free. So, win-win all around.

  6. Remolay says:

    am I the only one who can’t read this and has to squint and hurt my eyes?

    I am not squinting for that long, will someone please transcribe it or something?

  7. JT says:

    “Dear Soda Machine Restocker Person,

    I understand that in these times life may be stressful.

    Preoccupations with the war on terror, the continued occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, the turbulent housing market and many other issues factor into the fragile fiber of our daily lives as functioning members of society.

    However the above does not excuse your absolutely lack of ability to stock the freaking coke bottles in the coke dispenser slots and the sprite bottles in the sprite dispenser slots.

    Your job is not hard – and by not hard I mean it does not require much physical or mental effort.

    Wasting $1.25 when I want caffeine streaming through my veins only to find I’ve been given a non-caffeinated coke-related product is not cool.

    In conclusion,

  8. Bring your own. Save money. Don’t let the ‘vending boy’ control you. Sheesh. Take control of your own misery. DIY.

  9. Crystal says:

    maybe he/she is putting them in the right slots but someone switched the button labels.

  10. Ashlie says:

    There is a picture of a Horse whining at a kid, your argument is invalid

  11. somonworkvos says:
