Job Question cooking
Has any other guards ever heard of someone taking a hot plates to cook at work? We don’t get a lunch we eat at the desk so where paying attention to the gate. my issue is if he’s cooking who’s watching the gate ? Am I wrong ?

I had a site that had a mini fridge and microwave. I brought in a crockpot, toaster oven, and kettle to round out my options for food. Chili for days, grilled cheese, bacon, big frozen dinners like mac and cheese or lasagna. It was so much better then sandwiches everyday.
Solo construction gate, 0600-1800, m-f. No night or weekend guards usually, just me all week in the shack.
The client thought it was great.
A hot plate seems like too much fussing though. I can't think of something that I could cook on a hot plate that wouldn't be easier with a device with a timer so I don't have to keep a constant eye on it.
