    $15 for a subway sandwich

    $25 for a poke bowl

    $20 for a burger and fries

    I think hybrid work is only a small part of the issue. if it was even remotely affordable id just lunch delivery rather than busting my ass cooking in the middle of the day but then i end up spending $20 + tax + tips + fees just to eat some mid food when it just takes a bit of effort to get some amazing homecooked food for cheap. if people do return to the office id bet people would pack their lunch until prices go down.
