being cut off for profitability

A couple weeks ago, the company announced that it was no longer going to charge for Sodas. The entire time I'd been with the company, there had been a soda machine, and everything was priced at 25 cents. It was nice and simple. The machine was stocked with drinks, and the company subsidized the cost. So they did some profitability number crunching, and found that it would be just as cost effective if they brought a refrigerator, and stocked it with drinks, and made all of them available for free.

What I've found now is that their numbers may have involved the elimination of certain drinks.

I'm under the suspicion now that with them elimination of Mountain Dew from the list of drinks they've decreased the consumption DRASTICALLY. Thus cutting costs.

So it leaves me screwed, and a little pissed off. I don't drink coffee, and have no real alternative now but to drink crap that i don't like, or just stock my own fridge with my own purchases. Well until i get around to dragging a fridge in to put under my desk, i'm going to have to figure out how to get through the afternoons. The last couple days, i've been almost falling asleep. Well, maybe the profitability data analysis should have taken into consideration people being ASLEEP.
