They are not buying food and drink - a third party installs vending machines on site and actually pays the business to do so.

I'm not sure that a minor business indirection like that really makes a material difference to what we're discussing.

They're still providing a service to their employees as part of their business operations. People are talking about this like having cans of drinks is some kind of human right that they're entitled to. I'm arguing that it's a business decision and totally up to the employer. There aren't any laws, or I'm arguing any moral imperatives, that means they have to offer you any particular drinks.
