Isn't that what they give us the backpacks for? To stuff as many bottles of water, cans of soda, dinner rolls, etc. from the coffee breaks and meals into your backpack as possible so that you can snack whenever you have the urge.
I agree with @2 here... :) The post-lunch coffee and dessert available in the Product Showcase proved beneficial for traffic there though, imho. They are making improvements to get the traffic higher, which is a good thing.
Do not know what benefit have all refreshments all the time would be there...I think in-time, people would become numb to the benefit because, 'well, I can go there anytime to get a h2o, let's go to this lab now.' That is perhaps not what the showcase vendors would like.
