I enthusiastically refund my employer $50 per pay period for the pleasure of eating food that I can easily steal. I have no regrets.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I've only worked one place that had this, when I was unemployed and took a contractor job with a large tech company. I was like "this is loving stupid I'll never spend my money here" especially since I took the job after being unemployed for 5 months, I was very broke. Also it was a job that started at 1:30 or 12:30 (after the time change) PM so there was no excuse not to grab something a head of time.

And yet

I did end up usually going there once or twice a week. It was semi-affordable (which makes sense, I wasn't doing call center work, but it was a call center), and I'm so bad at life and ending up at places on time that even picking up some fast food on the way wasn't always an option.

Surprisingly good even though it was just CINTAS. Lots of variety, got you in and out of there very quick.

The guy who I shared a shift with most of the time who was absolutely insane, but kind of cool, pretty routinely went in and stole meals after they closed. There eventually was a strongly worded email and they started to lock them up.

I still believe in Second Winter. Put this in your sig if you also believe in that and that it is real and not fake like the others say.

I worked for a few months at apple's austin campus and their cafeteria was amazing. Kind of expensive for call mines contractors like me but the nicest thing was an $8 ribeye

Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves


My workplace cafeteria does nothing special. Has that same burger and fries handed to you in a styrofoam container. It does have a sushi counter, but it's just a carbon copy of all the ones in the grocery stores. But the food is cheap especially compared to the local fast food places and since I work for the government, it's also tax free.

As far as I can tell, a pharmaceutical co or huge tech co is your best bet if you want decent work cafeterias

The LIQUOR BOTTLES are out in full force.
MOM is surely nearby.
I had the opportunity to eat at Google's NYC office cafeteria one time, and just like on a random rear end Tuesday afternoon they're routinely dishing out duck confit over polenta with cherry gastrique, perfectly cooked salmon fillets, walnut-feta-cranberry-bacon-balsamic tossed microgreen-rear end side salads

...and they don't pay for any of it

There's also a series of refrigerators like the size of a tractor trailer just full of beverages, take whatever you want anytime

Sucks about the rest of the job, but at least there's that

I'd like to thank Satan for everything he's done for this organization

I believe Apple's is free if you're salaried. Contractors gotta pay for everything though :argh:

(and can't post for 10 years!)

our work cafeteria is run by eurest and hated by all. 5 years ago the company sold the buildings and leased only the ones we were using, so we all expected that the new owner would bring in a new cafeteria because you can't get worse than eurest.

instead they offered to let our employer lease the cafeteria for $1 to continue the existing services :lmao:
