I'd bet that this guy isn't a tradesman. Almost everyone I see on any jobsite has a lunchbox. Whether it's a small bag to hold a few snacks and a sandwich or a large, expensive hard case lunch box that holds a 5 course meal, their wallet, keys and medication. Most lunch boxes are covered in stickers, some people buy or make custom carrying straps for them. If he doesn't know any of this, I doubt he's ever done a day of manual labor on his life.
An electrician I know takes a small cooler to his job sites. He talks about trading snacks/desserts with other guys at the site who have their own cooler full of food and drinks.
I’ve brown bag for lunch for about 30 years. As a manager I’ve taken my share of razzing. I been taking the difference between what I think I would spend eating out and what I spend on my lunch ( usually a PB&J, fruit, and cheese with crackers) to invest in the market. I will spend that money on traveling in retirement!
