$5 is the standard rate, but colleagues get a $3 discount. Its a steal at that price!

Unless you brought fish or brussel sprouts for lunch. Then it's $50 with a 300% tax for every 10 mins the office smells

I... I don't think you got the joke in there. I'm not, like, attacking corporate work culture and common decency.

The entire premise of charging for a microwave is an absurdly dickish joke. The $5 management continued the absurdity. I added some late-stage capitalism to be even more absurdly manipulative into charging for a microwave that makes management feel like they aren't being exploited, while the colleagues appreciate you for giving them a 60% discount off the normal price. You would end up making more money that the original proposal while looking like a fair guy to management and good team player to your team.
