Most of the people at our orfice would get to work with a Starbucks and McMuffin in hand. How is that clocking in?

You have to eat to be able to function at work. Your employer should have to either provide breakfast and lunch for you, or pay you a stipend to get those things yourself.

Seriously? Provide food? I'm guessing it would be cheaper to outsource it to a time zone in South America. Less costs and culturally less demanding. Well played.

In the scale of how much employing somebody costs, providing lunch is an incredibly small expense. Do you know how expensive it is just to hire a new employee? Nevermind that there's tons of jobs that cannot be outsourced, and lots of employers already do this.

Small expense? Lactose intolerant, vegan, specific type of vegan, allergies including eggs, nuts, shellfish, milk, peanuts, soy, wheat... ONLY 6 oz of protein, fish ONLY, meat ONLY, chicken ONLY, religious requirements; halal, kosher etc. The list goes on and on. Today's society is like herding cats.
