话说有个地方叫大埔，水果，蔬菜和餐厅差不多是沙田区最便宜的了。中午如果去那吃顿饭，每周一次再买点水果回公司吃，有孩子的/住深圳的偶尔再去药房买奶粉和尿片，听起来都很不错。关键是吃饭有选择，而且价廉物美。问题是科学园和大埔之间没有直接的公共汽车路线，交通怎么解决。
那科学园公司有一个不错的安排，在中午吃饭时间提供*免费*的班车去大埔和回科学园。有这样的班车，很多人都想坐也是意料之中。这就造成了想坐第一班12：05的车，11：45 就得离开公司去排队的局面，否则拿不到筹（位）。
吃饭门事件指的是上周一公司HR的头发给每个员工的一份邮件，我摘录如下：
Dear All,
We received an external complaint about some of our staff “always” taking long lunch break by going to Tai Po Centre. I suggest sending a notice to staff that our official lunch break is 1 hour. If they need to take longer lunch occasionally, they should let their supervisor know.
I have not seen any documented official hour and assume it is an hour. If you have information or suggestion otherwise, please let me know. Thanks.
Regards,
Anita Ho

Hello Arthur,
Let me make it clear. I always see your staff (sometimes more than 10) to take the free shuttle bus from Science Park to Tai Po Centre. They need to be there before 11:50am to queue for the 12:05 bus. They usually take the 13:20 bus from Tai Po Centre back, which reaches Science Park at about 13:40 that takes about the whole lunch to be 2 hours long (counting from leaving office to returning to office). Even for the earliest bus from Tai Po Centre to Science Park they can take is the 12:50 one which reaches Science Park at about 13:10pm. You can count the time they use - about 1.5 hours.
I am disappointed that I still saw some of your staff taking about two hour lunch last week. If I still see them starting from Tuesday next week (I don't count the Monday), I will consider to told the media about the FACT.

然后我们组的大头目，小头目都连续引用这篇Email，警告大家吃饭时间只有一小时之类。这篇Email显然是针对另一个组的一帮子人，他们免费车去，免费车回。我们组的一帮子人是打的去，免费车回，以金钱换时间，但是还是要花1个半小时左右。这位“YN”先生不知何方人士，是不是公司内部的人都不得而知。或者是科学园某家餐厅的人，或者是拿不到位置去大浦的人，或者就是一正义人士（或叫做愤青）。
事情至此，谁也不敢顶风作案，因为毕竟可能有人在免费车下车的地方“监视”着（有可能吗？），还有可能拍照。总之，连组里味觉最敏感的同事也缩在科学园吃午饭了。我是放产假回来之后加入大浦吃饭帮的。这一个多礼拜在科学园吃得很不爽，下午也没水果吃了。尤其是今天的午饭，难吃的要命。
不知还过多久算是风头过去，我们又可以愉快的吃一顿午饭，愉快的买点便宜新鲜水果。
