I will sometimes sneak in if I can but feel like this is something so simple for them to allow us to do. To eat! Come on man. Basic human kindness. Corporate bullshit.

I'm booked up here alot so I'm not excited to try to find something else but, is there anything I can say to my boss that would get her to grow some balls and get us back in the cafeteria? Strike?? Lol

Thanks.
