I've heard of it. One of our local hospitals will allow any senior to
eat in the cafeteria... all you need to do is prove you're a senior.
I'm not sure how they can tell outsider seniors from seniors who are
visiting loved ones, though.

Interesting responses. We have a room with refrigerators and
microwaves that is called the cafeteria, so I said no, we don't have
one. Some people go out fairly often to grab a sandwich or Chinese
food, but none of the local stuff really appeals to me so I don't
usually go or ask them to pick me up stuff.

OTOH, people are always bringing stuff in, and leaving leftovers with
"eat me" signs on them. One guy has someone who visits his family
regularly and brings a store-bought cake, which none of them like, so
he brings that in. Others decide that they want a doughnut, so will
buy a box of a dozen, and leave the rest on the table. Cold pizza
very often. And of course baked goods (here, try my new recipe for
broccoli danish/my 6-year old twins baked cookies and decorated them)

Our whole building is around 20 people so it's sort of like family.
Most of us have been there 10-30 years....

Bizarre "inadequate choices" response #24:

I eat twice at work. At 11 am I go out for lunch. Then at
3 pm I eat food I've brought. Usually a protein bar and
a banana. They're serious protein bars, so it's about as
many calories as any other normal meal I eat.

So the poll needs a choice for "both".

Our local hospital used to advertise the cafeteria in the newspaper. They
also did catering.

I drive home (4.8 miles) nearly every day and fix lunch. While I'm
there,
I usually do a little housework--e.g., empty the dishwasher. I'd go
postal
if I stayed at the office.

Once a week or so I go out for lunch. There's a nice Vietnamese
restaurant that's
pretty close, but today it'll be a Mediterranean restaurant
(everything from salad
Nicoise to burek, from cuisines all around the Med).

If my car's in the shop, I brownbag it, but that only happens about
once
every couple of years.

I'm not sure this hospital cared if you were a senior or not, or visiting a
friend or relative. The food wasn't free but it was cheaper than restaurant
(cafeteria-style) fare. He said his parents raved about it.

I work from home full time so I pretty much always cook lunch in my own
kitchen.

I WON! May I give the hat to Little Malice, please? I already have the
beanie from my last win. I still feel guilty telling her I didn't care
about winning a hat, when I really did and I believe I kept her from
beating me the last time.

Oh, Margaret, you're such a peach... :-)
