Firstly, no this isn't an April Fools Day joke. Secondly, you need to 
improve your mind reading skills.

Coke members used to have a 'false perk' of being able to go $20 in the 
negative. This was annoying, since they would often leave the club with a 
debt, or permanently sit at -$19 where the treasurer then had to keep 
chasing them. I would like to replace this with a more positive system, 
which recognises the fact that doing coke runs costs money and time, 
especially since a coke run has to be done during business/university 
hours. The 4c discount represents about 10% of the profit on the cheapest 
drinks, and that figure decreases as the price of an item increases.
