Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker is baffled and indignant that anyone would take not one lunch but thirty-two. The blunt "who the hell" turns a petty crime into an absurd mystery, and the exact, oversized number makes the theft sound almost comically elaborate rather than merely mean.
