Each day lunch was the same story at the Corporation. A large restaurant was opened at the ground level where resources could eat quickly before resuming their tasks. We called this place the Resource Cafeteria. Despite all research no solution was found for substituting food so lunch was still allowed.
Me and Dale would go through the same story over and over again. Opening the door you stumble into a large line of resources aligned and patiently waiting to get to the food trays. I would go sit at the end if the queue while Dale went to check the meals for the day. Each day he would come back to me in the line saying he doesn't know what to choose and all food is crap.
- I don't get it I said to him, we have been eating in this frickin' place for years and you still go every day to check the food trays, eyes full of hope only to return with the same long face and bitter disappointment. I only take a look at the menu once I get to the trays, I already know each meal.
- Yeah, hope dies last...
The soups were garbage, a salty water with a couple of boiled vegetables with no taste. From time to time Alex gave the soup a try but he almost always regretted it. Second course was a risk as well, anything with souse you avoid. The other meals tasted awful too but the resources learnt to eat them anyway. No one was complaining outside of me doing the same old jokes about the food. Prices were pretty high compared to the horrible food but how other could the resource cafeteria owner afford two luxury cars whom he proudly parked outside.
There was always constant noise the Resource Cafeteria, you couldn't even enjoy the garbage food in quiet. But it paid off, the resources were quick to eat and return to work hoping for that 6PM to come already.
