I would argue that figuring out where to go for lunch, getting there, waiting in line with the dozens if not more other people who had a similar hankering, getting my food, eating in a crowded area or taking it back to work, are way more than one headache a week. I would consider that a daily migraine. In fact, that was my daily migraine before I just stopped going out for lunch altogether.

Free food isnt just about the food. Its also the convenience. I already have to fight traffic getting to work, and I fight through the crowds any time I go shopping or anywhere remotely popular in the area. Having to deal with that madness in the middle of a work day when I just want a meal would certainly be a dealbreaker for me.

And from my understanding, you wouldn't get any free microwave burritos -- those would be illegal.

Getting away from work doesn't have to mean getting away from your coworkers and your workplace. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty good about leaving my work at my desk -- when I get up to wander around, or to take a break, I don't have to leave my workplace to be 'away from work'.

And is trading your coworkers for pushy crowds of strangers and traffic nightmares really that good of a deal? Because in MTV, that's what you're trading for. Getting away from work at lunch means dealing with even bigger and even more annoying crowds.

Yeah, but their coworkers suck. I like mine.
