[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 749750, member: 9789"] As for all the misinformation that is spread by assumptions based on God knows what... Tie is telling it like it is - Vending machines are bid out to a vendor. UPS negotiates a better rate on the vending machine items (maybe 5% discount) because the company does not take the profit. All monies go back to the vendor. Contracts are negotiated generally through PE. Managers and supervisors have expense accounts but in the last 6 years or so, there are so many restrictions being placed on the account holder (mgr or supv) that it is not worth it to submit all the paperwork necessary for the expense. The company has made it hard on purpose to keep spending at a minimum. As for managers or supervisors who pay out of their own pockets, many management people do this because they don't want the hassle from their boss or bosses boss. I have had part time supervisors buy their employees pizza out of their own pockets. Just about everything I did I paid out of my own pocket because of the hassle to get it approved. When I left, anything over $25 for a manager needed a pre-approved requisition. [/QUOTE]
