    Isn't that going to depend on where the employee works? Do you mean on average for the whole country or just a community?

    But you aren't driving 30 minutes to an hour for lunch, right?

    Are you asking how far people travel to get their lunch?

    Drive for lunch?. well I guess that depends on whether I brought my lunch from home, went home, or if I had errands to run while on lunch...

    Ha! :p No! So is this about distance not time?
    I have always had lunch on the premises, I can't be bothered travelling even when I have lived close.

    Is it me did that drive just get edited or have I gone completely mad [very possible]

    I don't know. I can't figure out what they are asking. I bring my lunch and order Chinese on Friday - too lazy to fight the traffic!

    We bring our lunches (or suppers) to work (library is open from 9-9) or order in or go to one of the nearby fast-food places (at least 15 within a mile of the library). We are allowed a half hour for lunch/supper.

    I "drive" the few minutes it takes to walk to the pantry pick up my lunch sack and get back to my desk ;)

    I agree this question needs a lot of refinement.

    Let me see I get 30 minutes for lunch, so I go from my desk to the company break area and eat my sandwich ( tuna today)
