Where I work used to have free coffee and tea until a newspaper made a story about how we were lazy and spent all our time drinking coffee and wasting money so my organization fully removed complimentary beverages ever since.

Worked for an American Fortune 100 company that had a community funded coffee station when I started. Got a tiny styrofoam cup of Folgers coffee for $0.25. Eventually they had stations that provided free coffee, but that was years later.
I worked for an Utah based company that opened a Boston office. There was a holy war over our office being allowed to use our snack budget on a coffee machine and beans. Mormons vs Bostonians, the culture war nobody expected

Nah, the NSA takes very good care of its employees. They get free everything.

As it should be. If Intel is spending that much, that better be Yorkshire Gold.
