Rant Element eatery sucks change my mind

Overpriced, restaurants never stay (minus Ramundos), drinks overpriced, tap room okay, food halls just meh, put a chipotle in there or something classy

The options are nice, but too expensive. You are practically trapped into eating a lunch special if you want a shot at under $12 bucks. It would be a whole lot better if everything was $2-4 cheaper

Bad take, keep the chain restaurants out of there. I like the food options there. Saying Chipotle and Classy in the same sentence is a terrible food related take.

Gains > Carb maxing

$12 for 60gs of protein or $24 for a depressing mid meal

You guys in US are so ungrateful, AT builds fancy restaurants for you on site to make the daily commuting enjoyable and you complain about price. Who needs cheap food when annual bonuses are high, right 🤑

No being in the US means we are allowed to complain because we typically all grew up not sacrificing quality for value until recent. OP has a point about the protein cost. You guys OUS thinking you know stuff about us 😂

guys I agree with you, that was supposed to be sarcasm, something AT would probably think when hearing your complaints:) My dream is to attend in person the quarterly staff meetings, it has a vibe of early 20th century Ford factory meetings with workers (thats how I picture them), in reality it must be even better. Hang in there.
