RTO - Free Onsite Food?

With RTO upon us does Dell provide free onsite food and snacks?
Pretty sure they provided it before Covid just like any large corporation. My previous tech medium-sized employer also provided it.

Is the food any good? Which snacks are provided?

I have been at the company for 20+ and they have NEVER offered free food and snacks unless you are in sales and it's a vendor bringing it in. We get free food all the time from vendor's but its not Dell.

This is like asking if the seats on the lifeboats have padding. No wonder they think they have to monitor everyone like children. Clearly some of our staff are…

They never provided it before Covid, they took out vending machines and put in a self serve “store” at my location where everything is double what it is at a grocery store or gas station.

Don't forget the ~$2 drink machines that are served slightly cool instead of cold to save that extra dollar on energy.

Treat it like Chipotle and get all the napkins and plastic utensils you can get! Also eat a big dinner so you can get paid to blow up the toilet!

Free parking, free desk, toilet and a paycheck. What else do you need?

In Bay Area, Dell provided 4 differant Coffee machines in building for your to use before Covid.
Plus, there was a lady cooked Coffee for emaplyee in the morning.
Plus, free apples and banana, nuts and snack in the afternoon etc..
But other tech comany provided more than Dell in Bay Area.

Trying to decide if this post is a joke. At the Utah offices there's never been free food (except for rare occasions) since Dell took over. They jacked up the vending machine prices, and stopped stocking teas in the break room too. Havent been into the office in 2 years but the TP was always 1 ply and the dispensers would be empty for days at a time.

Dell has taken many many shortcuts to save costs.
I think the tp is down to 1-ply now.

do not eat or drink from the buildings.

My office doesn't even have free coffee, and you want food and snacks, lol!!! I'm surprised Dell doesn't charge us to use the bathrooms.

Dell doesn't provide free meal. Just free water (filter hasn't changed in years), tea, and coffee.
