1. “From a review of the entire record in the instant case, we hold that there is •material evidence to support the chancellor’s finding that plaintiff sustained a compensable injury both arising out of and in the course of his employment. We are persuaded by the fact that it was undisputed that the usual lunch time procedures, which were known and participated in by the employer, regularly involved one of the employees leaving the premises and obtaining lunch for the others who remained at their work stations; that on the date of the accident, plaintiff had indeed brought his lunch to work with him that morning and therefore had no reason to leave work at lunch time but to obtain lunch for his co-workers; and that plaintiff’s journey, although arguably unknown to his employer on February 15, 1980, not only benefitted his employer by allowing the other employ ees to keep on working while plaintiff was obtaining their lunch, but also subjected plaintiff to a definite risk or hazard on the road. Id. at 704 .”
