    It’s so insane to think of this being an office perk. Just there for you to use… My office has a kitchen…

      This is one of the more baller ones for sure.

      I work for a rapidly growing startup in a different industry and the most we have currently is a beer vending machine at one site that was inherited and P-Cards with the biggest limits I’ve ever seen. The only requirement with those is, “please don’t screw me.”

      And I’ve got an ice maker and a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label. Who needs the expense and time of a commute when their perk is right downstairs for me?
