I don’t like to eat at work. If i do eat its usually a little junk food. Haribo gummis are a fave

I prepare at home for lunch: yogurt, fresh berries, trail mix, espresso and a peanut butter cup. Every day.

too broke to eat out that often. its ~$10->$18 for lunch here. west coast. i cook dinners for 4-6 so my partner and i can take lunch.

I almost always bring lunch, but it seems I’m in the minority wherever I work.

I have a fridge at work, so I just shop separately for groceries there. I usually make my own salads, but some weeks I shift to sandwiches or soups.

I quite enjoy getting out of the office for an hour each day and fortunately have several places to eat within easy walking distance.

Neither. I try not to eat while I’m at work. They sell all the junk food at work, so it can be difficult to not give in to temptation. I might indulge in a couple of uncrustables each night, but that’s fine with me.

Pack if it’s an overtime day. Usually just bring water and coffee though. I have too many allergies and dietary restrictions to safely eat out

I used to pack sandwiches but I got spoilt by my old break room having a toaster oven. So eating a cold sandwich in freezing temps really isn’t the move for winter. It’s also the meal where I don’t have to consider my wife’s vegetarian preferences. So I eat out often right now depending on what leftovers are at home.

Both. I pack a lunch and eat my wife out. The real question is hotter long it took me to learn how to make a sandwich on her stomach when I can’t see what I’m doing.

Horrible joke aside, I don’t work any more, so it’s neither. But, back when I was working I vastly preferred to make my own. Wasn’t always possible, depending on which job I was doing and where it was being done.

When you’re driving all over three counties seeing patients, it isn’t realistic to bring food that’s worth eating. Same when you’re at a bar as a bouncer. It isn’t that you can’t bring food along, you’re just very limited in what you can reliably keep at safe temps and not have it go missing. So it’s more useful to just eat whatever you can grab.

But, if I was doing longer shifts with single patients, it was part of the agreement that any caregivers can store their own food within reason. So, I could bring in a proper lunch that was healthy.

At the one club, the staff room had a fridge that the boss had put a camera on, so nobody would fuck with your stuff. Other places, not so much lol.

I pack when I’m in going to be in the office and I keep a few cans of soup in my desk in case I forget. If I’m off site, I’ll expense something nearby. If I’m working from home I’ll usually make a salad or sandwich there.

I suspect that a large portion of people who eat out everyday for lunch aren’t the most confident in their kitchen skills.

Not everyone, of course, but I have noticed some correlation there.

The last time I was in an office was back in 2016. It was a startup and we had a free buffet lunch every day. The CEO explained that it was better that people not have to plan for or leave for lunch, and that they talk to their coworkers while eating.

They started out being a full meal: Ribs and brisket, spaghetti and lasagna, tikka masala and vindaloo.

But after we got bought it became soup and sandwiches and salads. The last time I was ever in an office we had to actually buy our own lunch.

I’ve worked from home ever since.

I used to eat out all the time, but now that I work from home, I make food at the house typically
