TO:        All Computer Center Personel

FROM:      The Coke CO-OP

SUBJECT:   Policy and Procedures

As many of you have noticed, the CO-OP has now been moved to the
large refrigerator in the break room, next to keypunch. The lock
on that door has been changed to match the lock to the I/0 Room
and Machine Room. This should permit greater access to the CO-OP.
We therefore invite all Computer Center employees to participate
in the CO-OP.

You should be informed that we are now keeping much closer track
of our operation, and in the few days since we have been keeping
track, we have noticed some loss. Despite the 25 cent price we
charge, we have been taking in approximately 19 cents per bottle
sold. SOMEONE IS RIPPING US OFF! We admit freely that we are
selling somewhat over our cost, and some people may well resent
this. Please be aware, however, that we originally put up some
$55.00 out of our own pockets to get the operation started in the
first place. Any actual profit that we make, after replacing lost
or broken bottles, etc., will be returned to you, the participants
in the CO-OP in the form of a party, or low-cost snacks (lower
than the vending machines at any rate).

The CO-OP exists for the mutual benefit of all of the Computer
Center employees, as an alternative to the high-cost and
unreliability of the machines in the Loud Room downstairs. It is
essential that we have your cooperation and honest behavior in
order to keep the operation afloat.

Procedurally, the CO-OP will now work as follows:

(1)   All drinks are 25 cents. We no longer will require a bottle
      deposit

(2)	Since we cannot afford to hire a full time bookkeeper,
    	we cannot sell drinks on credit. This means no IOUs.

(3)	It is no longer necessary to replace cold drinks with warm
     ones. We will do this each evening. This will allow us to
     better keep track of which drinks are selling best, and thus
     better control our stock.

(4)	We do not appreciate the odd numbers of pennies that have
     been showing up in the cash bins. Although at least one
     person who admits doing this claims to be putting in pennies
     over and above the 25 cents, we still are befuddled when our
     daily balance does not come out in a multiple of 25 cents,
     particularly when that balance is less than it should be for
     the number of bottles sold that day.

We welcome comments and criticisms from you and will do our best
to respond to your needs and desires.
