I have to buy my own lunch when I go to work too.

Yeah... it's pretty standard to pay for your own lunch, even at pubs/restaurants.
But most restaurants will offer some kind of discount to staff, if they choose to eat the food served at that place.

Especially if you've wanked in it.

You mean there's an option of not wanking in it?

I've worked in food-service places and find that policy varies widely.
In one place, employees would choose a meal and dessert of their choice to eat in the dining area after serving the customers, all free.

In another, where staff were expected to work through breaks, I saw someone sacked for taking half a slice of toast on a busy 10-hour shift.

Most places would let staff snack and take food out. They probably couldn't keep people working so hard for such crap money without a few little perks.
