When taking the train, every time it is meal time, there will be a steward pushing a trolley and shouting to sell lunch boxes. However, after several trips back and forth, few people buy them. Those box lunches look good and are relatively cheap, but passengers are so picky, so why don’t they buy them?

1. Passengers have no spending power.

Most of the people traveling by train are ordinary people. If they are asked to spend more than ten yuan to buy a rice meal, they will definitely think it is expensive. Especially for some short-distance trains, everyone just passes through with patience. And those box lunches on high-speed trains are not cheap. A braised pork rice costs 40 yuan. For ordinary people with a monthly income of several thousand yuan, it is more cost-effective to eat 6 yuan a bucket of instant noodles.

2. The quantity is small, the taste is bad, the hygiene is not good, and the price/performance ratio is very low.

I once bought a tomato-fried egg rice bowl on a train. The price was the same as that of a fast food restaurant outside, 12 yuan per serving. However, the quantity and taste were so different. Overall, I felt that Losing money. There were only two pieces of eggs on the surface of the lunch box, and the rest were tomatoes, and the fried rice was too salty. The rice was hard and cold, and there were several black spots. I couldn't eat it after two bites.

3. Diversification of food choices.

Nowadays, people’s living conditions have improved, and there are a variety of fast food products that are easy to carry on trains. The most popular instant noodles are quick-heating hotpots, which are hot and delicious when eaten in the stomach. They are much more delicious than boxed lunches. There are also some bread, sushi, ham, yogurt and fruit foods that can fill your stomach. Many people bring some snacks with them and eat and drink along the way, so they don’t think about eating.

4. Passengers have no appetite.

I have this problem. I feel nervous when I go out. I feel nauseous and dizzy easily. Moreover, the food in a crowded train is not very good. When I see the greasy food, even if it is for free, I , I don’t want to eat it at all.

Finally, I hope that the railway department can improve the quality of meals, enhance cost-effectiveness and diversification of food. Make it delicious, fresh and clean, so that everyone can buy it.
