Why is that material?

But to answer your question, the coffee shop is not part of the company, you do have to pay for your coffee and it is past security.

Thanks for the answer.

It's not all that germane to the article, more of an aside, so thanks for that indulgence.

The motivation is from this old post here: https://steveblank.com/2009/12/21/the-elves-leave-middle-ear...

Ah, for context, to encourage people to RTO during the pandemic, coffee there was free. Once we started an RTO mandate it changed to one coffee a day was free. Now that we're moving to mandated 5 day RTO, even that is gone.

Things get shittier and shittier in a company known to be shitty to it's employees
