Anyone charge visitors for coffee?

[Clodbuster]

I was amazed, my son has just returned from Ryanair headquarters doing a presentation and he had to buy his own coffee in the boardroom, He did not meet O'Leary but he was visible in his office next door.

Anyone else that tight? I certainly wasn't and not come across it.

Never heard of this outside of public areas, and I've visited a lot of different businesses from retail, offices, warehouses, and more. Never had to buy my own coffee except in public spaces, such as where the business is in a WeWork but even then it was rare and usually free coffee and biscuits.

Sounds very much a 'RyanAir' thing

Very O'Leary...

And no, I've never, ever paid for coffee in someone's workplace

I don't like RyanAir but their business model is a business model.

Within than context, If I were O'Leary I would probably want to signal how nothing is for free.

Not a coffee drinker - wonder if he'd bill me for a glass of water.

Does he expect nourishment on tap when he visits - I would love to test it out.

Likely the answer is 'yes', just as on a Ryanair flight.

This bloke is unbelievable
He did say Trump is a nut job last week so this will mitigate some of the accusations placed against him

I respect o'leary - and happily use Ryanair for short flights.

On the other hand, I make every effort not to go for extras - as that cheap flight can quickly become annoying expensive one.

And I still wouldn't pay for coffee at a meeting

Ah, yes, cheap flights.
