Do you take food to work?


From 9:30-9:46 we have breakfast together at work. So at some point I brought myself cereal and then milk for coffee and cereal.
This break is not normal in German companys.
Sometimes I bring something for lunch. Frozen vegetables that I prepare in the pan. Or rice stuffed grape leaves from the discount store ready to go. Or eat from the day before.
Sometimes I eat nothing the whole day because there is too much work.
Mineral water & coffee buys the company.
At school, I usually don't take a lunch box bc no one else brings one , maybe bc they think it's childish or just not cool I don't know , so I don't eat or just buy smthg from the school cafeteria , but the main reason I didn't eat is bc I was too busy running from the principal to the other playground
Nah I have an hour lunch break and I live 7-10 minutes away from our main plant/warehouse if I'm at out plant 15 minutes away from work I grab lunch at a sandwich shop. And if I have to go out of town to a different town/city for work we usually just get lunch at a restaurant or diner and if the boss is with us he pays for the meals.
So there really isn't much need to bring something.
I usually take a frozen meal in a freezer bag and heat it in the microwave for lunch. Something from the junk food machine (candy bar, potato chips) sometimes for "dessert".
I voted A-lunch box... that's the closest choice to what I do.

When I used to work at a technology company, I would sometimes eat lunch I bought by microwaving it and other times I would stop by the near by gas station for some pre made meals. I preferred the food they sold at the station cause it tasted better. I would usually get a hot dog or a sandwich cause those were my favourite things to eat there.
I am given a lunch pack by my PCG (Primary Care Giver = the Missus).
Usually, it's too much;
and that's very much to the delight of the company dog
(who is a bitch, and thus loves me a lot for giving her free meals in return of wiggling her tail)
I take a lunch box and a gallon of homemade tea or juices, sometimes I even pack a beer in lunch box
Me or my wife will make my lunch the night before.
Like today I roast beef on rye with lettuce, tomato, onions, homemade hot spicy mustard, some raw carrots, two beers and a pear
That was my lunch today at work
I take a lunch box. I put an ice pack in it and bring something to drink, a sandwich, hard boiled egg and a piece of fruit. Sometimes my wife will buy those little bags of popcorn or potato chips and I will take one of those too it is way cheaper than eating out
I fast all day. If I’m struggling around 2-5 PM I keep some beef jerky and some pickles and garlic stuffed olives in the fridge at work. I’ll snack on just enough to cover my cravings until I get home. Then I’ll eat veggies and a little lean meat. Very little starches (rice, bread, potatoes, corn, pasta).
All of the above depending on the day
Sometimes I make my self food
Some times pop out to eat
When worked where they had a canteen I did that some times as well
And sometimes I just skip eating for the day
when i still worked in an office (pre-pandemic) i would take lunch some days. but i worked in philadelphia which has great food so at least once a week i'd treat myself to some takeout food somewhere near my building
No food service where I work and no time to leave work to eat elsewhere. I take a frozen meal and use the microwave at work to cook it. Heating it then eating it can be done in less than 30 minutes.
In some of my offices, I provide lunch for my staff by having food delivered & setup in one of the office conference rooms and/or hiring food trucks parked within the lots.
If I'm at home then I'll make a sandwich, in Hatton Garden it'll be over to Leather Lane for a Tongue&Brisket Reuben, in the field it'll be whatever's available in a cafe, a supermarket meal deal or a burger
All the time when I was pregnant, but I used to end up eating my lunch as a snack, so I would end up having to buy food in the end to eat for lunch. I did pack snacks but I would eat them for morning tea
I don’t eat while working even on break… strictly water at work… I get too tired when eat and I have 10 hours to get through
Yes I do because I meal prep but I also work at a restaurant and get a free meal too so I order chicken with veggies from there
I work at a school so lunch is inclusive to the job.
I take a tupperware container, but bloody forgot it today. 😔
Nope. I remember in the past being forced to take food when I went school even though we had a cantine. I ended up eating my sandwiches plus lots of cantine food. Wasn't great. Now i take nothing to work except for 1 banana or something, we have no cantine, which is better.
I bring food but we have several cafes in the building.
Way to risky to cary a sandwich like that in a paper bag to many insects and it’s real hot outside the sandwiches spoil. It needs to be refrigerated at all times.
I do, no need to spend carelessly money for eating out.
Hell no. I'm a privileged White boy. I have my mom bring me Carl's Jr, Taco Bell, Krispy Krunchy Chicken and Mexican
I don't work, my boyfriend takes care of me, but if I did, I'd take my lunch to save him money
Yes. I bring my lunch to work every day, along with coffee and something for morning break. Much cheaper that way.
Either left overs, a sandwich or a burn and serve meal.
Yes the amount that I saved by taking my lunch is quite a big every time I've purchased lunch it ends up to be about $10.
When I was working. We officially only had twenty minutes, that was also paid for lunch. No canteen at work. So we had to carry lunch.
I bring my 40 Oz mug of coffee from home and I drink it all day long. I get tired when I eat during the day so I don't eat till I get home at night
Yep. I take my food to work. It's much cheaper than going out and getting food everyday.
i wouldn't waste time on bringing food. i either don't eat or i go get a snack.
i find it hilarious how guys have their "wife" pack their lunches for them. like grow up...
I always take a lunch box. There's really not much open at 2am.
I work from home. So I just stroll to the kitchen or order takeout.
I go out for lunch.
Not at the moment, but maybe next week.
I work from home, my kitchen is close
I do and drinks
Yeah. I eat it in the work truck
Depends.
Never.
All of the above 😉
