Re: unintended consequence
They tried that where I ran the engineering coffee concession. Was told the coffee pot was a "fire hazard".
These are electrical engineers. We told them that was BS, and we were not buying coffee at the cafeteria when we could have our own far cheaper. Our management was part of the coffee concession and backed us up.
Were I in that situation, I would have pushed it, so as to get fired for bringing in my lunch. Then had a conversation with the press.
