WeWork Eliminates ‘Honesty Market’ Snack Kiosks Due to Theft of Snacks | Eater

"Unattended, honor-system snack kiosks installed across the company’s locations are being removed from many sites; although the company says not all outlets are affected and insists the change isn’t a cost-cutting move, it comes amid frantic efforts to reduce spending, loss of financial control, and preparations for massive layoffs. The move signals that suspected theft undermined the self-serve model, and company statements say other food offerings will replace any kiosks that are eliminated. Critics note the irony given revelations that the founder extracted roughly $1.7 billion while the company cuts staff and perks." - Tim Forster
