Get a free lunch from Google

By Marc • Nov 5th, 2005 • Category: the Geek

Of course you need to be in California and get invited….

As many people know, Google offers its employees free lunch and free dinner at the campus (Yahoo charges its employees). It’s a lavish affair, with many different types of high quality food, drinks, desert, etc. I like visiting Google for lunch, and accept nearly every offer I get from a Google employee.

Or do you need an invite?

Like much on TechCrunch, this is pure rumor. But I’ve heard from multiple independent sources that non-Google employees are making a game out of getting onto the Google campus, without an escort, and eating a free lunch, often taking a second lunch “to-go” for dinner. These people are keeping score to see who can eat the most free, unescorted lunches at Google. And specifically, my understanding is that many or all of these people are Yahoo employees. Yahoo HQ is right down the freeway, a very short drive away.

These guys are always playing jokes on each other. I think it’s pretty cool that they do this kind of stuff instead of slashing each others tires. Also, is it just me or does it sound like it’s real easy to get a free lunch at Google?
