I'd rather have free lunch brought in than have to go outside (rain or shine) and buy my lunch. I'd be more interested by a first rate company cafeteria with good (cheap or free) food.

I don't know what the food trucks are like in Seattle, but in SF they are as expensive (or more so) than regular restaurants. So if I'm going to go out for food, I'd rather go someplace where I can sit down and eat.

I'd rather pay for my food because then there isn't the expectation that I stay at work to "enjoy" it. But I'm with you on food trucks. I just don't see the appeal (no, I don't need half of my lunch sliding down my arm as I stand up to eat it) but, damn, they are popular in urban Seattle.

It's Amazon, you're expected to both pay for your lunch and stay at work to "enjoy it". Or stay late to make up for having to eat.

I dunno, lunch was pretty well enforced at amazon. Go out and get food, come back and eat somewhere (conference room, kitchen area, outside, wherever). Took a full out each day.

Way worse where I am now, 25 minute lunch break. ugh.
