The Round Still Gets Argued

Interviewing Office Coffee-Run Participants Before and After Their Tab Goes Fully Visible

A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement interviews participants from 24 office coffee-run groups before and after their shared tally moves from a private record to a fully visible spreadsheet, cross-checking accounts against each group's own archival history. Overall dispute rate holds steady, but the categories of dispute shift almost entirely, with disagreement over what counts as a full round emerging only once itemisation makes the question available.
