There's no free lunch

• fuzzfactor 4y ago
  Well, in my industrial suburb an entire food service industry arose to provide overtime meals to workers at the many 24/7 facilities where they were sometimes needed to work more hours than originally planned, entitling them to a top-dollar complimentary feast. Some popular restaurants, and others were kitchens not open to the public but the key was the rapid delivery of one-off orders not long after the employee accepted the overtime. But this was decades before DoorDash or Uber Eats, there weren't even any cellphones, you had to look at the paper menu and order over a land line, it was so primitive it took 20 seconds.
