Good grief, Andre, if anyone had an inkling of how much coffee Adam drinks it should be you. But hiring him was a mistake especially to give him all the free coffee he wants as perks of the job. It was much better for you when he was buying the coffee from you. Now he’s a liability not an asset.
Adam being fired is something that all of us saw coming, though I wasn’t 100% sure it would be because of excessive coffee consumption. I thought it might be over his interactions with customers.
Truthfully, who didn’t see this coming after the strip that he mentioned all the coffee he could drink free? We saw how much it hurt business when Adam stopped going there for a short time. How would this drain not drive Andre into bankruptcy?
His distributors don’t want to make more money? Andre should just give Adam the option of working without monetary pay but all the coffee he can drink. The cost of coffee is really low. Of course the pay of baristas is very low too.
In real life business: the gross profit margin on coffee and/or tea pays the overhead, since the margin on other food that a coffee shop sells is less than 5%…
A friend once worked for the local Dairy Queen. They owner said she could have all the ice cream she wanted. After about two days, she didn’t want any.
With that kind of liquid consumption, the bathroom breaks must be most of Adam’s day. Maybe just stop paying him for those, and take the rest out of his paycheck.

Coffee is a diuretic. If he drank anywhere near that much, he’d be spending most of his day in the bathroom flooding the sewer system.

That’s on you shop manager guy who knows Adam and pretty much it was Adam keeping that place afloat with how much coffee he buys/drinks.

It could be worse. Usually “drinking up the profits” refers to alcoholic beverages. Adam’s habit is much less toxic – and much less expensive.

Before he took this job, Adam said he was qualified to be a clown. Maybe that should be his next endeavor.

I don’t know how Adam would have time to serve customers what with drinking coffee, going to the bathroom and washing his hands.

How is it Adam doesn’t spend more time in the loo ? Comic characters have very strong bladders

You’d think the coffee distributor would be happy to be selling extra coffee to Andre, not stop answering him.

He could let Adam drink the same amount of coffee as he did before, and not have to pay for it.
