Employers figured out years ago that caffeine has excellent ROI for productivity. (Amphetamines are probably a close second, but we won’t talk about that right now.)
For Intel to cut basic morale boosters was just pure silliness.
Counterpoint: 100 million for coffee in a year sounds astronomical, even for the 120k employees intel has. Like, what are they paying for, doordash starbucks?
Actually the air shuttle service was available to all employees assuming 1) They had an existing route for your source/destination 2) It was a valid business reason they would be paying travel expenses for anyways.
Edit: But your implied point that it probably cost a lot of money is true.

The headline is bullshit. The 100 million is for all food/drink services, not just coffee.
And an air shuttle for the executives…

$2.5 a day per employee? not too bad I feel
For $100M/yr why not start your own coffee subsidiary?
