Return to Office Means the Return of Cafeteria Lunches

Going into the office three days a week is not, I repeat, not hybrid! 🗣️

At a time when people are struggling to find

work, I’m grateful to have a job. Universe, truly, please hear me when I say that I am, but at what cost? $20 to buy lunch which doesn’t include chips and a drink. Served in plastic to boot, that’s what.

Here’s my cafeteria-bought lunch with side salad. It was rather delicious but the price point added to the weekly pumps at the gas station, is driving up my spending. Sure, I can bring my own lunches but some days you want a nice hot lunch to “Treat Yo Self” and there’s no cheaper option around as the average price for lunch is the same across all the nearby spots.
