The lunch rush is dead as Americans live for the weekend
- Thread starter bnew
- Start date
Whole article just skating past the fact that the cost of buying lunch is probably averaging $20 for most people.
It's either blow $100 for a week of lunches you probably don't eat at a leisurely pace, or save that for weekend fukkery or literally anything else.
When you consider what most people are getting paid, telling them that basically they're working most of their Monday to pay off the lunches they'll get for the week is crazy.
It always turns into a crisis when working people stop giving rich people money
That $15 combo was all good when people were stressing. This is what i love about WFH. A lot of businesses and cities that made a killing extorting the 8-5 crowd are getting the big payback.

I hear you, and I try but some weeks I legitimately put in a 60 hour week, hit the gym 5 times a week, and I'm trying to start a side business. The money I save doesn't quite math.
Lunch hour was cool til the prices jumped through the roof
All these normal people deciding to gorge themselves and become fat caused massive food inflation and it's unsustainable cause they can teach themselves how to cook. They just don't want to but they can

You think prices are up because people are eating more?
U think these obese popped up out of nowhere overnight? They ate themselves fat. Yes prices have gone up cause people are eating out way more
I run a food/merchandise truck and I travel I'm on the front lines of this one

Lunch was never cheap though, even before covid. You'd still spend $20 unless you got Wendy's 5 for $5. And if you worked in corporate I'm sure you spent even more because you went out with coworkers in the city. A meal, drinks, and tip is easily $35.
You can't tell me City Office workers was paying less than $20/meal before Covid.
Another lie
Longhorn steakhouse been had a ten dollar burger lunch special with a a baked potato and a salad for ten dollars
Plenty of chain restaraunts do the same and your city office workers were simply too lazy or possibly too stupid to check for other options, most office workers are highly skilled in one particular area that pays well and they struggle with everything else, including reading the paragraph I just typed off the top of my head without glasses.
How many office workers can read what I just typed without glasses? And u expect these same people to research lunch specials
I'm telling u I'm making unseen amounts of money lately and so are a lot of my business partners.
America is fat and they need to eat and I'm willing to sell food at a high price to help these fat folks.

Pre-pandemic - had a hybrid role; WFH 2x/week and office 3x/week. We had a decent cafeteria so I usually had grilled salmon and veggies. Sometimes I'd grab pizza or pho. Price was cheap as everything was maybe $8 max.
Post-pandemic - been full-time telecommuting since March 2020. Not a single day at the office and no desire to go back. Once you get used to it, you realize how much working in an office wastes time. MS Teams and group chats allow you to collaborate and gain knowledge, tips and tricks from more experienced coworkers.
