For most employees, it's not so much a cafeteria as it is packaged sandwiches, soups and salads, and a daily "special". Not that the quality is bad, but coming from the facilities at IBM's Toronto Lab (integrated Tim Hortons, five hot food stations, really good quality), it's nowhere near that standard. I believe the plant has a separate cafeteria which might be better, but last I'd heard, it required a manufacturing employee to sign you in to take advantage of it.
