Recently I've been bringing lunch to work, as I generally try to do. I noticed that I was wanting to go to the shop to get a coffee, so I started bringing coffee to work. Then I would still go to the shop and get a slice of something sweet, but drink my coffee. Last week I thought I'd bring a slice too, so I had everything I possibly wanted for lunch.
Still, 3 days out of 5 I bought a coffee, slice, or both.
Why would I do this? Could I be addicted to the ritual of going to the shop and buying something? Or the spending money?
Am I like Pavlov's dog and I'm getting the dopamine hit from what I usually associate with the rush of sugar and caffeine?
I've noticed several of my workmates do the same thing, buy lunch even when they bring it.
Does anyone else have the same thing?
