    The only argument I really have much sympathy for is the time/gas expenses. Food is totally on “us.” Buying food too expensive every day? Meal prep on the weekends. I never buy food at work and if I were home I’d be eating the same thing as I am at work so it’s not an extra cost.

    That said I’m 100% not against having employers cover food costs lol

      Do you have kids? Do you have a live-in maid? Do you spend all day Sunday doing meal prep for the week? People are working longer hours, commuting more, and have less time. I’m all for personal accountability, but man, there’s only so many hours in a day. Imagine you had an emergency on a Sunday night. No lunch for the week?

        I don’t have kids or a maid, but I only need 2 hours to make what I would be eating for lunch. If you can’t find 2 hours to make food then I guess you have to buy it, but that fact would remain whether you’re at work or not.

      “If people don’t buy lunch the economy will suffer!”

      Okay so have employers cover the cost of food. $15 per meal.
