Reasonable prices? Same quality? |
| Message: |
I brought my lunch because I was not sure of the prices and quality. Item prices were not published anywhere prior. You can only find out how much items will cost by going to the cafe - - you also need to factor in your "discount". I suspect there is different pricing by location so they do not publish on the web.
I checked out the cafeteria in the morning and thought some prices seemed high (.75 for a carton of milk, .40 for a cream cheese, 2.55 for ice cream bar) Personally, it irks me that soda and juice are free but not milk.
The lines seemed to be the biggest problem, checking out took awhile with novice cashiers, associates digging for $$ and their IDs as well as the microwave line snaked throughout the cafeteria. People were waiting 15-20 minutes to use one!
Coworkers who opted to pay for lunch said the quanity and quality was good as well as an improvement from the last few months. Complaints were about the disorginization, confusion and pricing. Most in my area are doing a combo, some days they are bringing in lunch from home, some days they will purchase or go out.
I would bring from home or go out untill they get the kinks worked out - just do not plan to use the microwaves!
