My company has done this and I hate it because 20+ people all ordering some fast(ish) food for individual delivery through a disintermediary service has so many things wrong with.

I can't reconcile trying to discourage wasteful, race-to-the-bottom, lowest-price-first lifestyles and yet clueless acts like food delivery apps.

I tend to find swag somewhat wasteful even under normal circumstances, but over the past 18 months or so I've gotten a bunch of team and speaker/attendee event swag individually mailed to me and I feel a bit of guilt given that pretty much none of it is anything I remotely need. And, in many cases, will ever use. (Some is nice though so I hesitate to say just get rid of all this sort of thing.)
