Generally 99% of people I worked with in IT (UK) over the last 20 years either make a sandwich for lunch, eat leftovers or eat at the work canteen which isn't free and normally isn't great either. They have their main meal in the evening. Of course people have the occasional lunch out but it's normally once or twice a month. In big cities of course this is often pretty different.
I used to eat lunch at the canteen fairly often out occasionally have leftovers. Since covid I'm at home and normally make a sandwich or salad with whatever is in the fridge.
- jusssi 5y agoOk fair, it's a culture difference. Here in Finland, a sandwich is what you'd have for a coffee break snack, and a salad for lunch means you're worried about gaining weight or about to go out with someone for an actual lunch later. =D I did once work in a place where all of the tech team would bring lunchboxes or microwave meals (ugh). Normally the percentage is much lower, I'd say maybe 20%. Of course it depends on what options are available. If the canteen is the only option around and it serves crap, it'll get fixed pretty soon, because the bosses eat there too.
