In the company cafeteria?
In a break room?
At your desk (ie you keep working?)
Do you bring your lunch or buy it?

Bring lunch 3/4 of the time, eat at my desk (I have an office with a door). We have an office lunch room, but very few people use it. I do not eat while doing work, I usually read while eating, and then try to psych myself up for a walk outside (but flake out about half the time).

The other 1/4 time I go out for lunch, and eat at fast casual places, rarely do I get takeout for eating at the office, once I'm already out.

My work is very rarely so busy that I don't have time for lunch. We also don't really have that policy of not taking a lunch break to leave earlier. If we did, I'd probably eat while working more often.

I only go to the office once a week and our entire team is in on the same day. We usually go out to lunch together.

I bring lunch everyday, partially because I only get a 30 min lunch, which is not enough time to go and buy anything and eat it. I eat at my desk.

Don't buy lunch. That's the reason they want RTO.

I bring my lunch.

We don't have a break room or cafeteria, so the options are a conference room, desk or in the car. Usually, I eat at my desk

I bring my lunch (plus snacks!) every day and eat at my desk. I get tired of the food options around my office, and I inevitably start to gain weight when I eat out too much, even if I try to stick to healthy things.

I work 12s so eat breakfast lunch and dinner at work. I pack all 3 meals plus snacks. Sometimes it’s leftovers and sometimes I’ll buy frozen meals and take those. I eat at my desk. I do get a paid one hour lunch break but usually use that to run errands.

Bring M-Th and eat at my desk, go out Fridays for a solo, sit-down lunch. On days I eat at my desk I go for a walk after.

I’m currently teleworking but when I’m in an office I eat at my desk while I’m working. Otherwise taking a 30 or 60min lunch drags out the workday. I’d rather get my work done and get on with my life.

Before I went fully remote I would bring lunch and either eat in the break room or go outside to eat if the weather was nice. I’d bring something to read to either location.

I only go in one day a week. I run out and grab soup or a salad and eat at my desk. Then I leave around 4:15 or 4:30 because I'm not taking a lunch hour.
