<p>Google is not the only place that does this. UBS used to have a cafeteria where all could eat so eat, as did a number of other places. I know some private schools where lunch is free for all who happen to be there while it’s being served. The same with work place coffee and such that Vlines mentions. Google just happens to do theirs up first class.</p>
<p>I guess those Admissions Counselors at colleges would have to be taxed on all those spreads that the college puts out for visitors and such too.</p>
