Priceless. Timeless too.

Marlboro reds. Couch is Sandybrown or Peru - it’s always dark in there. The waitress is behind the glass because the actual lounge is behind the counter. There is an open area in front of the counter but it’s for non-smokers. The waitress is a young and beautiful girl who looks Indian and Bangladeshi. Wears a cap, black apron bearing the name of the place, on top of a white polo shirt and jeans. I always ask for three napkins with my sandwich and coffee, and she always bring exactly three napkins.
Sandwich is tuna. Coffee is black and bitter.
God I just love a well told and descriptive story. Thanks for that.
You like things in 3s, I see…
I work in customer service and so I have to talk to people all day. When it’s my lunch break I’m usually desperate for alone time. However, I normally hang out with my co-workers because I want to get promoted at some point and I don’t want to seem unfriendly. My lunch break is basically just more work, in other words 
Perhaps find a happy medium that allows you some desperately needed alone time. Have lunch with colleagues when you feel like it, and by yourself the rest of the time.
A promotion should not be (partially) based as such.
Varies but mostly sit at my desk and eat lunch and then go out for a walk if the weather is OK. If I am invited out for lunch I skip what I brought and go out with whoever invited me. That probably happens once a week, maybe a little more of late. Sometimes we’ll duck out to catch a bit of a session of the test cricket. We never miss the first ball of each summer’s test series.
