I think eveyone is guilty of this, I mean in property management we are expected to do 12 hours of work in an 8 hour day, and often that 1 hour lunch break is unpaid, but we are working. If we eat in the office, as soon as we are done we spray some air freshner if the food left a smell in the office. We dont close for lunch, we stagger our lunches to be available to our residents, but we have a break room off the office area, so whomever is eating isnt bothered, I try to protect time off, its a mental health break. I take my lunch to sometimes just walk around the local mall, or walk my property, just to get up and walk around. The only thing I am dead set against is eating at your desk, it is so tacky, someone walks in and you have a mouth full of food and your half eaten sandwhich on your desk, so unprofessional. And when we dare to close and eat together our residents bang on the door and shake it, until we are sure the door will break, at whihc point we send a sacrifical maint guy out to tell them that the office is closed for a meeting and will reopen at whatever time is clearly posted on the front door.
