Actually the air shuttle service was available to all employees assuming 1) They had an existing route for your source/destination 2) It was a valid business reason they would be paying travel expenses for anyways.

Edit: But your implied point that it probably cost a lot of money is true.

The headline is bullshit. The 100 million is for all food/drink services, not just coffee.

That is like $3 a day per employee.

I think an important detail is likely missing. My experience as a software engineer intern included getting paid well and full benefits as an employee. So legally I was an hourly employee and I think the label of “intern” was to set expectations work/performance/responsibility.
