I've become a big fan of "The Flyover Effect", a podcast hosted by the staff at BitMethod.
Their discussions of design, UI and the general usability of life are always enlightening.

Old Thinking
An office that has unlimited free coffee but not unlimited free fountain drinks is in a generational hold.
The marginal cost of fountain drinks can't be much different from the marginal cost of decent coffee, yet coffee is almost always an option, seldom soda. While you might think "the kids" are into fancy $4 coffee drinks, for many the caffeine delivery vehicle of choice is cold, not hot.
How many other office policies are signaling to the youngins that management is out of touch?
