Blind to the Conflict of Interest.

So it's O.K. to have a subsidized cafe in government offices, because it's convenient to the people in those government offices?

Ummmm.

Let them plan ahead a little and buy their coffee and donuts from a store who IS paying rent, just like the rest of us.

If a cafe isn't viable if it has to pay rent, then it isn't viable.

But, hey. As long as you're at it. My customers would love to have a much bigger store and more selection, a few extra employees, maybe some extra space to sit and read.

It would be very convenient for them.

Could I have free rent, too?

More than the subsidy, I'm bothered by the monopolistic aspect of the thing. Why does this one cafe get preferential treatment?
