Why do Google's offices matter? They have Smile Tiger coffee brought in. What I constantly hear about tech companies is that it's great that they have special coffee and catered meals brought in. Wouldn't this make them even less likely to be patronizing businesses a walk away, farther than the internal options, and farther than the on-site (e.g. Balzac's) options? Let alone a (speculative) distaste for mass-market? I'd imagine they'd be less likely at Google or Tannery to visit a Starbucks there than a Settlement Co.
