The comical thing is how often their systems are down. When I was in a WeWork we used to get free coffee all the time because they couldn't accept payments at the moment.
Coffee is always free at WeWork. The one from the machine as well as from the Barista.
Unless this is a development from within the last year, this is not universal.
When I was at a WeWork last year, kombucha and cold brew on tap was out of service at least 50% of the time. I took this as mismanagement then, now I wonder if it was simply cost-cutting.
I'm currently at a WeWork. They run out of sparkling water in the morning and fail to replenish it until around 2:00pm. I'm under the impression that they wait until then so people don't drink all the sparkling water when they eat lunch.
