If there's someone to sit with i will. I don't really enjoy it neither do i hate it, i just feel that it would be rude not to sit with someone i know. It's my summer job and i don't know yet if i will be continue working there, so i also feel like i have to be really nice and sociable (and of course do my job well) to give a good impression and hopefully to get to continue there in the fall..

I go with my co-workers for lunch. I believe if they are acquainted with you, then they can never prove a nuisance. So when you feel like staying alone, they will allow you.

I used to go with coworkers and really loved it. Now I mostly work alone, and I've found I also enjoy eating alone.

I eat lunch alone at my desk most of the time. Sometimes I go and sit in the picnic area or on the rooftop terrace and read.

I work over 12 hours a day and do not get any kind of break, no lunch dinner etc and eat while I work. It's great being salary.

ALONE! This sounds horrible, but I hate when people ask. I just need the alone time on lunch, even though I have my own office.

Hello!!
I go on break/lunch alone because in my workplace, even though I work with 2 other ladies, we rotate so that only 1 person goes off to lunch at a time.

i always get offered to eat lunch with others but I mostly decline.

I like to eat alone or sometimes I do other things on my lunch break. Plus I don't like to be chatty when I am eating

I thought I was weird for wanting to lunch alone but maybe not after reading your posts! I am friendly to all my co-workers but certainly dont see them as freinds and only interact on a social level if I absolutely have to. I think people might see me as weird and shy because of this but I hate eating in front of people commenting on what you're eating!

I have the luxury of a 2h lunch-break so I eat at home, alone. I enjoy that, because I spend less and eat healthy.

ditto - any time at lunch means staying later

I work retail so it's not often that I get to take lunch at the same time as anyone from my department because we can only have one person on lunch at a time and we have to take it i turns. However most people at my workplace will eat at the table in the breakroom and there is nearly always someone else in there so I will usually chat with a colleague from another department.

I typically eat lunch at my desk, or use my lunch hour for errands or shopping. So, I would say that I almost always eat lunch alone. I do go with coworkers maybe 1-2 times per month, though.
