How about just leaving people the fuck alone. I eat at my cafeteria every once and a while if I forget my lunch or just want something different. It's great, just bring my laptop down and do some work while eating. What's next, a law mandating that you must leave the premises for one hour a day?

They just can't stand the thought that the techies are doing anything in "their" city. They HAVE to know what's going on in there. They claim to hate the employees of those companies, but then they can't leave them to themselves. It's like a nosy neighbor or your little brother getting your Mom to make you let him in your room when you have friends over, or people suing to be included in exclusive clubs.
They just can't stand the idea that you're having fun without them.

At this point I have no idea why the companies locate in the city proper. They have plenty of money to be mobile. Locate outside.

I guess it's because of their dumb trendy millenial employees.

Meh, liberal on liberal action here. I’m all for it.

Quite often, these people do just commute in, avoid all of the bullshit that their votes cause, and then commute out. They never really see the shitty results of their actions.

I’d compare it to making those German townies pick up the mess at concentration camps.

Rub their faces in it, and when they fight back, more liberal on liberal action. How are we not celebrating our enemies eating their own?

That might be where they start, it will end up with mandatory attendance at a government run lunch counter and mandatory consumption of the government mandated menu items, probably including the government mandated "happy drug".

This won't make any difference in the world.  They must mean by cafeteria, as a place prepare food for you.  Most places in San Francisco have lunch rooms.  Saleforce at the 1 Landmark building doesn't have any cafeterias, but the building has its own food court in the lobby.  When I did a 6 week contract there, none of the engineers locked themselves away all day.  Most of them are foodies, and love going out to lunch everyday.  There's no shortage or restaurant and food trucks out there, and every engineer has their favorite hidden spots.  If they are ever too busy to go, someone from HR makes a takeout run for them.

Only a place like San Francisco would even make this a problem.  But I guess it's easier than dealing with their real problems.  I wish they gave as much of a crap about workers being a part of the community, when Occupy kept disrupting the BART trains during rush hour.

New health laws, no food items on company property. The only food allowed in the city is in government approved grocery stores or restaurants. And eventually you can replace "government approved" with "government owned".

A proposal introduced Tuesday to ban employee cafeterias in future San Francisco office buildings represents more than an effort to boost the city’s restaurant scene, backers say.

“People will have to go out and (eat) lunch with the rest of us,” Aaron Peskin, a San Francisco supervisor who co-sponsored the proposal, told The San Francisco Examiner.
