So people could go in and make popcorn anytime they wanted. That was pretty neat. They did that in response to people burning microwave popcorn all the time. Otherwise, amenities at Wal-Mart are basically non-existant.Capital One has these uber cool bathroom sinks. They are like hills and valleys, with a slit in the "valley" to drain the water. Very posh. It's a brand new campus, so in general it's very nice. The building I was in before that had free cocoa. So, in the mornings I could go in and make myself a cup of cocoa. That was nice.I worked briefly for the government (that contracted ended). They had a water cooler. I would get water out of it occasionally. Then one day a co-worker told me that I needed to stop, because there was a monthly fee of $5 to get into the group of people who had access to it. I thought he was joking. He wasn't. I guess I should be glad that they didn't waste taxpayer money with extravagances like bottled water.</blockquote>
