People have been finding this out and sneaking into Google’s canteen to steal food. If you go through the main entrance you have to get past security, be tagged and have someone follow you around.

These people are keeping score to see who can eat the most free, unescorted lunches at Google. And specifically, my understanding is that many or all of these people are Yahoo employees. Yahoo HQ is right down the freeway, a very short drive away.
