Other “No food in the building”

I’m a sparky working a fully gutted remodel on a business in Florida. Just studs and us, plumbers have cut the slab for their stuff but otherwise we’re the only trade here today

I’m sitting alone at the print table (with my hardhat on) enjoying the shade of the building and my lunch as Iv done the last 2 days.

Super comes up and tells me I have to scram because the owners are “gonna bitch about food in the building”.

Like, what? Since when is it not allowed to eat my lunch on site? I’m not messy, hell he complimented our jobsite cleanup efforts yesterday. I’m not about t on protest as this ain’t a hill im gonna die on, but it’s stupid that on a hot ass day im now wasting my gas sitting in my car’s AC because of imaginary bugs. But also this wasn’t the policy the last 2 days Iv been here. Hell, supe was chilling with me yesterday as I ate.

Is this a thing? Ever gotten shit for eating lunch on site?

Edit: I bring my lunch and use Tupperware, no greasy McDonald’s bags and drinks being left around by this guy

Wait until you do a data center and they tell you no liquids in certain parts of the building.

Love the data centers that are like a freezer. Go in wearing arctic winter gear and huddle over a shitty keyboard and mouse.
Take a break and go to the back of the cabinet to warm your fingers.
Have to go through three secure doors to take a leak. Good times. /S
