I agree with the premise, but this rub me the wrong way:

"$16 on lunch, $13 on breakfast and coffee."

It sounds like entitlement if you think someone should be paying for something you already do at home (eat), but choose to do it in the most expensive way possible.

Make food and coffee at home and bring it to work. And if you're already buying expensive shop meals to eat at home, why complain about spending that outrageous amount of money when you're outside the home?

I suspect people are not spending as much on nonessentials and businesses are seeing this as their workplaces being empty and not spending. But something tells me it's a nationwide thing, people are thinking twice due to inflation and I doubt bringing people back is gonna make them want to spend money the way they used to. My claim is based on layoffs and stocking issues.

My work pays for my lunch, it's how it should be. I'm here for them, if I wasn't I'd eat at home.

That’s insane. That’s like $600/month
