Essential workers have taken one for the team since the start of the pandemic. Based on reports, Walmart workers, in particular, have faced some pretty unpleasant moments (as this recent emotional Walmart employee resignation seems to convey).

An individual who appears to be a Walmart employee asked on Reddit this week: "When you're on lunch, what do you default to if you're hungry but nothing sounds good?" With more than 100 comments and counting, fellow members of the Walmart world have shared the healthy snacks they're picking off shelves, while others appear to go for a sugar rush.

Protein Power

Sushi
U/IslamAbed said their choice is "Sushi from ready-to-eat section."
When another user inquired as to whether the sushi is "any good," others weighed in to say it's OK if you avoid the rice. U/IslamAbed gave the final word: "It's not the best sushi ever but if you're starving, it's pretty good. Just never get the ones w/ the clearance sticker, please! The rice is practically crunchy."
Smoothies
Several users said they opt for smoothies (one named the Bolthouse Farms brand, in particular). Why are smoothies a popular pick? Apparently for the nutrition that's easy to consume quickly, as u/imelectraheart_xo added that they also "keep protein bars in my locker for those really bad days."
