On Monday 08 Sep '14, against my better judgement, I went to the cafeteria to get breakfast. (b)(3)
encountered bagels that were not fully thawed and therefore could not be sliced in the slicer without
crushing them. So I went for bread to have some toast. The bread drawers were mostly empty and what
bread that was there was moldy. Then went to the oatmeal, which was as thick as partially dried
cement. Tried the Cream of Wheat, and it tasted as if it was burnt. I was thoroughly disgusted at this
point and left. This isn't a one time occurrence either. Frequently, food is not out on time, eggs are
always water logged (I want to pay for eggs, not water when I am being charged by weight), bagels are
always freezer burned when thawed, one register to serve a building with 7 floors, the hot bar is a miss
mash of items that frequently are not served together, nothing is fresh..i.e, you can easily tell it's all
frozen food, the prices are astronomical on weighed food (especially taking quality into consideration. We
can go to numerous places off compound and receive high quality food and service for half the cost), the
cafeteria is clearly understaffed, and there appears to be zero management (at least quality
management). The place is absolutely disgusting. This isn't a issue either, its a Sodexo issue. Take 00)(3)
a look at These same things are being experienced at just about every building. It use to be (b)(3)
hard to find a seat at lunch time at HQS� We are a vastly larger Agency today, yet it's pretty simple to get
a seat now. That is very telling, The food and service is really bad. Something needs to happen to
change this. Will not be buying food at any building, until I hear from others that are also disgusted, but
gluttons for punishment, that things have changed.
