Our old job site lunches used to involve a lot more cooking
Back when I started, we often had a hot plate in the shack to heat up soups or fry eggs. Guys would bring in leftovers and share, making a real meal out of it. Now, it seems like everyone just grabs a wrapped sandwich from the gas station. That shared hot plate felt like our own little kitchen up on the steel.

That hot plate in the shack was our crew's main social event every noon. Now, a gas station sandwich wrapped in plastic feels like a sad, cold business transaction. I bet that old hot plate is sitting in a dumpster somewhere, dreaming of frying one last egg.

Come on, that hot plate was a mess waiting to happen. Someone always burned the eggs and made the place smell like sulfur. Now with a gas station sandwich, I eat in peace and don't waste half my break cleaning up. No more arguing about who brought the cheap bacon. Progress tastes just fine, even if it comes wrapped in plastic.
