It’s why we can’t buy cakes in ICN anymore (9 FAs each carrying 2 free cakes out the door every morning was bound to attract attention) and a hundred other examples.
Sometimes it’s best to reward a good deal with moderation instead of taking it to the bleeding edge of what’s technically allowed because then it often goes away. Second hand knowledge on the CPO call btw so take it for what it’s worth.

In Icn, you get a stipend paid by Delta because you can't leave the hotel....like 63$ a day. They would eat breakfast for $14 and use the rest of the stipend (use or lose) and load up on anything they could buy. The stipend was in addition to their per diem
They were not using "their" money.....the cake could suck, but by God they were gonna get it because it was "free" for them

However, I do like those little fish shaped waffle like things with the sweet bean paste filling. Yum. Eat those all the time.
Another tasty treat are the squid ink colored cakes with the custard filling. Those are really good. You can get them all over Japan.

Oh....agree 100%....but the blandness didn't stop them because it was .........FREE!!! Many people lose all restraint when they don't have to pay.
