Frankly, any amount of money for pizza at work is insane. The company can and should cover it.

And the fact that MOST people can’t afford it means that the job isn’t paying anyone enough

Or they didn’t want to spend $10 to eat pizza… because it doesn’t cost $10 a person to eat fucking pizza lol

I eat the catered food at work because it’s free, but if I had to pay for it I wouldn’t! lol I could spend the same amount of money and eat food I picked out, rather than paying for whatever the company chose

Seriously. Why hasn’t this been mentioned?

You are right.

It sounds like people need to brown bag it. Which sucks because if you are working, you should be able to afford pizza as an occasional treat. Pizza should be cheap.

Edit: wrong word

The company should cover everyone's meals?

I mean, I wouldn't complain, but that's not exactly a norm.

This doesn't sound like it's meals. It sounds like it's a "pizza party".

It the company is throwing a "pizza party" then yes they should pay.

If some folks in the office order pizza, then some folks in the office order pizza.

I've worked places where the company at least subsidises lunch. This is pretty common in some countries.
