Strange Priorities

People around here have a cow when the coffee pot is empty but no one gives a second thought to other things that need replacing.  Staples, tape, toner, paper, forms, envelopes - you name it.  It never seems to be their responsibility to replenish supplies when they are depleted but whoa... if the coffee runs out they have to make an emergency run to Starbucks.  We once had a fire alarm go off and the building had to be evacuated. One employee made sure to save her latte but forgot her purse and keys.
