I very often bring my lunch to work and supplement it with some items from the vending machine depending on my mood.  Typically, this is just a can of Diet Dr. Pepper (the only diet drink I can stand), for which I pay the outlandish price of $.65.  Sometimes, when I am a bit more hungry, I will get a bag of delicious Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, or yummy Baked Doritos (or any of the other baked chips that taste better than the originals...even Fritos).  Anyway, the chips used to be $.75.  Today, much to my surprise, I discovered the chips are now $.90.  And no way am I paying $1.50 for some fruit juice.

I've always been frustrated by the price of things "within the walls" here, but this is ridiculous.  I feel like I'm at Disney World or something.  Ideally, I don't think anyone should make money off of selling things like food to employees at their place of work, but that can be impractical for a business to provide such services "at cost". But, under no circumstances should I have to pay more for something here than I would within a reasonable distance from here.
