You're forgetting all the foosball tables and sodas they have to provide for those free laborers (whoops - 'interns'). Those don't come cheap, you know.

It depends on where you are.

In Europe free sodas are more rare.

In Italy, at least until I left, I had never heard of free sodas at work. But I heard of a lot of free work 'for experience'.

The foosball table is not just for the interns, you know. It's for everyone. And soda is cheap.

So yea, they do come for cheap.
