I can see this happening, being someone who lives in Atlanta.

Coke gives mucho dinero to GA Tech and rumor has it that a PEPSI vending machine lasted all of 30 minutes on campus once. As a matter of fact, no one on campus is permitted to sell or vend any PEPSI product (from the on-campus market to the dining halls, etc).

Thats not at all unusual.

These companies pay off schools big time to have an exlcusive contract.

Pepsi has a contract with the University of California (so its affect at ALL the UC's). Now THATS paying them off big time... 10 schools, many being HUGE in terms of student size. Only Pespi vending machines and only Pepsi fountain drinks in the cafeterias. Only place you can find Coca-Cola is in the on campus little shopping store for snacks, drinks, etc.

That can't be true... I just bought a coke in Haas the other day.

This doesn't make sense. Why would they fire him and draw attention to the case, giving Pepsi free advertising?

That's a horribly unjust story. Makes no sense to me. I think that Coca-Cola worker could have told in his defense that he was investigating the rival product to understand further why it sucks so much and to diss it in public. Who said that he enjoyed it?

LOL

Booster, what doesn't make sense is your english.

that aside, it amazes me that you are willing to take this story at face value. Do you really believe the situation is a simple as that article?

 

[Sciolist]

Was it ever explicitly stated in his employment contract or terms of service?

Does it make a difference that he was in his work uniform when he purchased and enjoyed the beverage of his employer's arch-nemesis?

I need to know whether he agreed to restrictions on his beverage purchase/partaking during his hours of employment. If he knew this was a condition of employment, he should abide by it.

Well, I did find two more links. US Coke worker sacked for drinking Pepsi and Coke fires Pepsi-drinking worker.

They had someone watching him and that is the best reason they can come up with to fire him? That guy must be a saint. If he got thirsty and drank one of the cokes in his truck they would have said he stole.
