I don't mind making coffee when everyone who drinks it takes a turn. Most places I've worked, whoever empties it expects to start the next pot. I was (jokingly) concerned about being asked to *get* coffee for a manager who could get it himself. ;-) It didn't happen, but it seemed like the next logical step.

Excuse me?

Look. The coffee needs to be made. The recycling bins need to be wheeled to the loading dock. The sink needs to be wiped out. The juice cooler needs to be restocked. [Intentional and appropriate use of passive voice going on here;-)][...]
