I get on a lot of projects where there is construction activity and
there seems to be two general preferences. One is where everyone has one
of those big plastic coolers with the pivoted top with molded handle
filled with real food. The other are the fast food group. Usually one
person is in charge of taking orders and running for food. For example
on Thursday I was at a site and one of the workers said "Its arbys day
today, do you want anything?" Even though I was hungry I politely refused.
