How environmentally incorrect!

Around here, few companies still have people who make coffee for everyone. 
It's mostly coffee vending machines here. IMHO, replacing the "coffee lady" 
with those machines was a huge mistake.

Are they so highly paid, or is minimum wage so low in the US? In my 
country, 1.5 x minimum wage is considered high pay for that kind of work. 
I've done that work for some 10 years, but I never got paid that kind of 
money for it.
