I used to be in a management role a number of years back and faced this same issue. Thankfully I was able to convince executive management that for our several hundred employee company, running a Coke soda machine was basically the cost of 1 Tech Support headcount. That's it. One of the most popular in-office perks, the Coke freestyle machine was 1 tech support headcount. That was years ago. And we still have that machine.

Yes, it's a cheap employee morale device. How much do the alternatives cost? > for our several hundred employee company, running a Coke soda machine was basically the cost of 1 Tech Support headcount It cost you $50-100K/yr to run a Coke machine? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something!

  $100k divided by several hundred employees and a year's worth of workdays equals a few bucks per person per day at maximum. Last time I had this perk I was downing at least four sodas a day - same ballpark.
