Instead of cutting snacks just cut the job of whoever proposes that as a cost cutting measure. Probably save more money and nip a lot of other problems in the bud.
According to Wikipedia, the corporate office has around 7,000 full time employees (not including 4,000 contract workers), so the company could have saved as much as much as 35 cents per employee per day.
Sounds like the original poster is under estimating, but I don't find the higher number (35c/day) enough to update the view that it is a trivial savings that has a significant impact on morale.
Either way, the point was this is a cost that is even more trivial than the $2/day estimate.
