I’m surprised they haven’t already invented a trendy new buzzword for this incredibly common and decades old practice so they can pretend bringing sandwiches to work is some previously unheard of phenomenon.
“BrokeBagging Latest Threat to Hospitality Sector”
More and more kids are “lunch box maxxing” is your tween “cafeteria pilled”? Fox 5 reports:
It’s the dangerous new trend that’s costing the economy hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
Someone came up with ‘micro-retirement’ to refer to people going on a week’s leave, so I posit: ‘micro-sanctions’, or ‘micro-embargo’, or ‘micro-communism’/‘personal communism’
Actually micro-communism or personal communism works great for another reason: they can claim you’re behaving un-American and arrest you.
So it’s our fault we can’t make ends meet because we buy too much takeout and also it’s our fault the economy sucks because we’re not buying takeout?
I get that ideological inconsistency is kind of the point of late stage capitalism but can’t literally everyone see through this?
more and more people microwave their fish at work
Don’t just microwave your fish at work. Turn it on the highest setting and duration.
Add eggs for maximum effect.
You are already getting the building evacuated.
What do you mean hot tinned mackerel on a bed of smoked kippers isn’t a “normal lunch”?!
Genuine curiosity here, what is the point of these guilt tripping headlines? Am I supposed to give any ounce of a fuck what impact I as an individual have on the greater economy? And the WSJ thinks they can leverage that guilt into making Americans buy takeout lunch every day instead of bringing in leftovers, most likely something they’re doing out of necessity? Truly, whose opinions are they trying to manipulate with this nonsense?
Meanwhile if you eat out you’re told to stop doing that so you can pay for Nintendo Online price hike.

Genuinely, who is buying lunch out every day at work? That shit is expensive! Eating out is more of a once a week treat type thing, no?
I have coworkers who get to-go coffee for breakfast and gas station food for lunch every day. This shit is expensive, unhealthy, often requires a lot of waiting, and tastes like ass.
in defense of waiting, it’s passive and requires far less executive function
In vic australia, a lot of enterprise bargaining agreements (in hospotality at least) guarantee a meal if a shift is over 6 hours, i think back in 2020 it was only $14 tho
i eat two peanut butter sandwiches at work lol
“You’re hurting the economy” well the economy is giving me the motherfucking People’s Elbow the economy can go fuck itself
Yeah. Why would I give 1/3 of a fuck about the economy? What do I have to gain from the economy?
Just kidding. I didn’t ask that. Don’t know. Don’t care. Don’t want to learn.
Wow right when the dining director “realized” (he fucking knew, he’s just a weaselly liar) we were taking home food every day and shut it down
It’s buffet style serving at a dining hall at a school that pretends to pride itself on sustainable hippie bullshit but we’re forced to watch the literal product of our labor be thrown away in endless quantities just because one piece of shit wants to go “well it’s always been corporate policy” instead of do the reasonable thing and look the other way at no cost to the company
we’re forced to watch the literal product of our labor be thrown away in endless quantities
There are people literally starving to death around the world, desperate for a bite to eat, and the best economic system in the world has deigned it better to toss food than to feed people; in a just world, people destroying edible food should be…actually I’m not putting myself on any list today.
Not only should the director be looking the other way, it shouldn’t be corporate policy in the first place; all the people creating this policy should be
my good friend and predecessor as vegan chef informed me they USED TO DONATE FOOD but then STOPPED and the reasoning to her was “they don’t want to be liable for food poisoning” but that hasn’t been mentioned once as a reasoning for not allowing workers to take food home
They should make coffee at home and give up avocado toast…so they can eat lunch out?
Don’t forget skipping breakfast too. It’s not as if your morning cereal was contributing anything to the economy. Better to put that towards lunch instead.
The same people who cried about people eating out ‘all the time’ invented the phrase “eat out to help out”
The same people who cried about everyone buying iphones then told people to go out and buy the new iphone
The same people who said the less fortunate should be investing then got upset when everyone began investing (in gamestop)
Step 1) Skip Breakfast Step 2) Don’t pack a lunch Where does that lead you?

clearly we need to streamline something here. how about outsourcing jobs, restaurants, fewer, lunch, work, selling and 2020 to china! we also need to privatize habits.
“You don’t have savings? LMAO just buy less starbucks.”
“Ok”
“NOOOO!!! YOU’RE HURTING THE ECONOMY!!! BUY MORE STARBUCKS!!! BUY MORE STARBUCKS!!!”I almost always bring my lunch. It sucks that I can’t heat it up though since I usually make crock pot dishes for the whole week. (Sandwich fixings are more expensive 😔).
Same, for as long as I can remember. When I was younger my mum said to me “why would you want to go to work to spend money?”
There was a nightmare day where i mixed my sandwiches up with my sisters cheese sandwiches.
Doesn’t China have like cafeterias set up for their workers and I’d imagine the food is free if not extremely cheap?
I wouldnt know. Ive never been.
Some UK companies subsidise their canteens, or did anyway.
I think my job is the only thing keeping the Taco Bell down the street afloat
The last one
