Haha. Not sure which country you're from, but this definitely sounds like a first world problem.
Your statement tells me that you could afford to only eat food others prepared for you in the past. (Not sure if that was a free office cafeteria)
For many that is expensive and could even be an unhealthy way of life.
I've never really thought of going into an office because pre-prepared food is easier to get. That's a new one.

- devoutsalsa 5y agoWhen I was up to my eyeballs in debt, I'd eat at the office because it was a way to save money. I consumed a lot of cereal, milk, bananas, snacky things, etc. Often for dinner I'd simply eat 200g of little cheeses.
- nextlevelwizard 5y agoFood at work caffeteria costs 6€/meal. That's 120€/month. The food is "home style", so just normal food with salads, bread, and desert. Any food I make at home is going to cost around same. I mean you can go down obviously (just buy bag of rice and can of beans), but I don't get why this would be valid argument when we are talking about tech sallaries.
