Why is coffee and tea free and soda isn't in office type workplaces? This is almost worth starting another rant over.
But more to the point, coffee and tea store easily. You take water, add the coffee or tea, and you have a beverage. You can't do that with soda. Having soda requires having a huge fridge full of cold cans. So that's why you have a vending machine for that service. My office has other non-coffee/tea drink mixes also provided, such as hot chocolate and those individual Crystal Light drink thingies.
Bottom line, quit your [expletive]' and just drink the damn coffee.
