The concept of packing a lunch still escapes people, it seems. Buying lunch everyday was expensive BEFORE the prices shot up

I wish they would have mentioned in the title that this is US workers. I’d be curious to see how that compares to cultures where lunch is more revered.

I don’t take a lunch because a) if I skip lunch I get to leave earlier and b) I don’t get that hungry when I’m occupied so I find it preferable to snack mid morning and mid afternoon while I work.

Jesus fucking Christ it's turning into the great depression out there :(

I skip lunch so I can leave earlier, not for any financial reason.

You guys get lunch?

By far the biggest thing I miss about working in the office, as opposed to from home, is the free lunch. That’s such a no-brain perk for any company that can afford it. Saves everyone the time of leaving to go to restaurants,builds morale when they all eat together, and it’s cheaper to feed a large group of people all at once than to send them off individually to retail.

Jokes on them, I'm skipping lunch because I'm fat.

When a breakfast burrito costs me 9 bucks and fills me up for most of the day, why would I opt to spend 20 bucks on lunch and less food?

At my old job when I was responsible for keeping SaaS services running I would frequently skip or work through my lunch, but I would also leave 30 minutes early.

Jokes on them I'm just not a lunch person. I snack through the day more.
