Aibu to think this isn’t okay - cleaner nespresso

624 replies

We have a cleaner who comes in on a daily basis and obviously we have tea and instant coffee, which we keep in our home and provide for her to drink. However I noticed we are going through nespresso capsules quickly and then I realized she has nespresso(s) daily when she works. My husband does drink coffee and I’m the only one that drinks it and as a treat, even it home.

Aibu to address this with cleaner?

I tried to hide a sleeve with some capsules in, she found it and had a couple while emptying the rest into the nespresso jar.

You have a cleaner every day?! You're whining about a couple of coffees.......... get a grip

TinySaltLick · 21/03/2022 08:40

Why don't you hollow out the used capsules and refill them with your old grounds to save yourself the 11p

Also bill your cleaner for the time it takes for you tin reseal then with foil, a sort of service charge

musicviking1 · 21/03/2022 08:43

You sound mean spirited. If I had a cleaner I'd want them to have a decent coffee.

PinkFluffyUnicornSlippers · 21/03/2022 08:43

Funny, OP’s disappeared with her tail between her legs…

@butterpuffed

If there's a thread I'm interested in and there's quite a few pages of posts, I tend to look at the 'See All' on the original post. If there's only 1 and the OP hasn't responded to replies at all , then I come out of the thread, because what's the point ? Confused
Apart from this one, where you read 8 pages of posts before your valuable contribution
DillDanding · 21/03/2022 08:43

Wow. If you’re not joking. This is shockingly tight of you.

elephantbreathing · 21/03/2022 08:43

I make my cleaner a nespresso. She definitely deserves it.
You sound so snooty.

DrSbaitso · 21/03/2022 08:45

Well I don't drink coffee, OP, but I know a froth-stirrer when I see one...

LadyPropane · 21/03/2022 08:45

I'm not normally in the "oooh, you have a cleaner! Where's the limo, darling?" Brigade, but... A daily cleaner?! Come on. You must have a reasonably healthy bank account. Enough that getting through the coffee pod sleeves at a slightly increased rate probably means sweet fuck all to your budget.

You're being mean. Let her have a coffee while she cleans. Chill out a bit.

theDudesmummy · 21/03/2022 08:46

How incredibly mean. In fact I suspect a reverse, surely no-one would be such an arse?

If it's a reverse surely someone must have been an arse Hmm
20viona · 21/03/2022 08:48

If you can afford a cleaner you can afford a bloody nespresso pod ffs

@justasoul

Anybody else thinks Gilead’s DS is Twentypast’s DH? Grin
I'd be amazed. He has a strong suspicion of all social media :D
lemonyfox · 21/03/2022 08:52

God I'm going against the masses here but I'd be annoyed at this. But that's because of how much milk a Nespresso latte uses, we'd have no milk left if a cleaner was having 2 a day 😂

I would also be annoyed at hiding them and her still finding them, but I guess I'm one of the stingy lower class that most people on this thread seem to be whinging at.

Just speak to her and ask her not to have any.

butterpuffed · 21/03/2022 08:54

@TinySaltLick My point was obviously that I didn't bother to read the 8 pages, only the ones after my post to see if others felt the same.

Changemaname1 · 21/03/2022 08:57

@gingerhills
Explain to her that she is a peasant and that if she is thirsty there are puddles to lap up in the road

@TriciaMcMillan Puddles? Luxury! Our cleaner is expected to suck the humidity out of the air as she washes the bathroom floors

These comments 😂😂 amazing

Also OP stop being a tight get .

Mercurial123 · 21/03/2022 08:57

It's not a huge deal is it? Is it be because she's an employee she has to have low quality coffee?

Moodycow78 · 21/03/2022 08:58

I don't think OP will be back, am pretty sure this thread didn't go as expected!

Funkyslippers · 21/03/2022 08:59

I don't think there is any reason for the OP to have her tail between her legs. She can probably afford the pods but so what? The cleaner is helping herself to them and it's different to just making an instant coffee. I wouldn't dream of helping myself to pods in that situation without asking

jytdtysrht · 21/03/2022 08:59

I think this is a windup
But if not just buy more capsules
If you have a cleaner every day you can most likely afford it
Chuck out the instant
Give everyone the nespresso

In your defence, I would probably not help myself to nespresso every day without asking in someone else’s home. But I couldn’t anyway as would have no idea how to operate the machine Grin

Disclaimer: I’ve never had one of these machines and don’t know the cost - but - I do enjoy it if someone makes me one at their house.

LifesABotch · 21/03/2022 09:00

YABU! And stingy!

Rainallnight · 21/03/2022 09:02

Don’t think the OP will be back.

She’s getting a roasting.

People are getting all frothy.

I’ll get my coat Grin

eldora · 21/03/2022 09:02

OP has overplayed her hand.

She knew if she said the cleaner came in weekly she would get zero sympathy for 1 x consumed coffee pod so the cleaner became a daily one so she could ramp up the number of consumed coffee pods.

But seems to have missed that if you can afford daily help than you can afford a daily coffee pod or two for the cleaner.

ArmWrestlingWithChasNDave · 21/03/2022 09:02

We have a cleaner who comes in on a daily basis and obviously we have tea and instant coffee, which we keep in our home and provide for her to drink.

This is your problem. You've spoiled her from the start - do you think she'd get tea or coffee at the workhouse?
