Why would anyone ever work there. Every time I have gotten hit up by their recruiters, I kindly tell them that I could never work for a place so hostile to employees.
Amazon has never been like that, Google has had more perks like that in the past, but Amazon has always been much more frugal.
Every manager can expense what they want if they can get their manager to support it, so some offices (or more realistically, some teams in some offices) have nicer perks than others, but GREF doesn't provide anything for free. If she was getting free food, that was her management chain doing that, not amazon as a whole (unlike say Google or meta that has free cafeterias, I've never seen a cafeteria in Amazon with free food).
