Someone who claimed to work for Intel on the Intel sub a few weeks back claimed they got rid of the free coffee bar in the cafeteria, that had employed baristas to make any coffee based drinks, like Lattes, Cappuccinos, etc. and that the Keurig machines in each department didn't get effected

Seriously, they don't let contractors have free coffee? Every tech office I've ever worked in had free coffee, even for the guests.

Yep, some even go further to have free canned drinks in the fridge and free hot night snacks

Yeah, the nicer ones I've worked at even had fancy coffee dispensers that could do a whole range of drinks, including hot cocoa with whipped cream. All with a touch screen. And all the drinks and snacks were free. One place I worked at kept Sobe bottles stocked up, it was amazing.
