I was met with a response basically saying that the meal wasn’t for us and we’re just lucky to be included. 🥴 I’m not vegetarian, but I sympathize with the lack of food options because I have high cholesterol and I try to avoid making it worse.

1,000 upvotes and I’ll order a vegetarian lunch for myself and submit it through payroll for reimbursement.
