Just a point about those buffet lunches. That is actually supplying work for the caterers who are a local business. Whilst you're seeing it from one point of view i.e. cushy lunches, you could also see it as keeping small, local businesses in business.
BTW - not actually saying that they shouldn't stop buffet lunches, just pointing out that as usual there is another side.
