NORTHFIELD, NJ -- Employee morale plummeted today at the Northfield MotoPhoto in New Jersey when owner/manager Denny Coleman refused replenishment of HonorBar snacks.
Said Coleman: "I'm not going to be stuck paying the difference for shortages in that box. I shouldn't have to take up the slack for dishonest people."
While the details of the refusal are sketchy, we can tell you this: The last box was over 15 dollars short, and in the past, the shortage had gone as high as 17.50. Mr. Coleman has no plans for how to keep his employees fed and happy in the future. "They're slaves, not lab rats -- I don't have to feed them," he said.
The HonorBar box is refered to as the "Free Food Box" by certain employees.
Linda Gaekel, the girl who runs the HonorBar network throughout the area said, "I've gotten shortages before. It's not a big deal. But, fifteen dollars? I would have said something anyway. I can't get screwed like that."
One of the employees of that MotoPhoto, Jeff Awesome, had this to say: "I dunno, the [HonorBar] has been back there for a while now, and I've never put a dime into it. Why it's a big deal all of a sudden is fucking ridiculous." He shook his head for a moment and said, "I dunno, this sucks, I'm looking for a new job."

Posted by wombat at December 17, 2003 12:12 AMI remember the free food box when I worked in Ventnor, NJ Radio Shack. It was always short. All the way. My boss and I enjoyed having the free food box until they stopped bringing it in. Those nazis.

Free drinks...that dehydrate me and make my face look all skinny, that I can handle. Besides, if they dont dehydrate me, they make me drunk enough to think Im super hot, it all works out.
