LOL Yes, I suppose the large menu makes sense in that regard.  I was 
never much for "going out to lunch" at work.  I did occasionally.  But 
many people did so every single day.  Then they'd complain about not 
having any money.  They also mostly didn't know how to cook.  I had a 
supervisor who called me at home one Sunday afternoon to ask me how to 
make mashed potatoes.
