Dinner was always the least effective meal at keeping geeks at their desks. I saw it mostly abused by families who would zoom in to have dinner with Dad or Mom and then they'd all leave together. To my knowledge Google didn't even have a dinner serving before 2005 or so, anyway. - Neil Kandalgaonkar

In my experience it's always far worse when a company removes a perk than if they'd never introduced it at all. It's like removing features from software--even if it should never have been there in the first place, users will scream murder if you try and remove something in a future release. - Reto Meier

funny, funny (just coming back from my Google Dinner). this story is fake, as you can guess. - Ihar Mahaniok

@Ihar nope, I couldn't guess that - at least based on the contents of that article. Why do you think it's fake? - Kamath ॐ

Kamath, because I know. I work at Google, I have eaten my dinner one hour ago, and my colleagues in MV are having their dinner in a few hours from now. Do I need to post pictures to prove this? :) - Ihar Mahaniok

Ihar, maybe it's the Last Supper? Sorry, couldn't resist. - Sprague D
