I worked bedside nursing. Where i worked we always had extra food trays patients didn't want, meaning I could get up to 2 meals a shift for free.

On paper prohibited but where I worked at this was very extended, convenient and fast.

Changed workplaces and I cannot get any free food anymore. I simply don't know what to bring to the workplace.

If its of any help I like cooking stews, but it's gonna be a hassle to bring that to the workplace. And to bring a sandwich or buy one at the cafeteria? I'll pass.

When I was young working almost any food job came with free food and over time they became more restrictive on it. In college it was the main perk of working the dorm cafeteria. Buying food is expensive but if you can afford it and enough options are close to your work, its kinda nice to get something you feel like at the moment. My go to for bringing to work was rice or pasta dishes in a glass container that had a plastic seal lid. Only works if you have a fridge though. Is there no fridge given you can't bring stew? Or no microwave?
