I don't understand the question. They have a food program for people who stay late. They don't have a cash or toothpaste program for people to stay late. It seems very clear to me.

My work has a free cab home program. That doesn't mean I can skip the cab and wander the halls taking staplers, or use my business travel card for beer.

I might argue that "hey, these things are equal value" but it doesn't matter. It wasn't what was offered.

Once again, the point of having the program is to get people to stay later. For $25.

There's no scenario where paying attention to this money helps more than having people put in more hours at work, so what's the goal of this exercise?
