at allegheny we have sodexho marriott... they are such assholes... the most annoying part is that the way the meal plans are set up you're paying about $7 per meal. they say that is because they offer a buffet style cafeteria where you can eat as much as you want so it's justified. however, the cafeteria that is open the most and is most accessible where the most people eat most of the time is set up fast food style - with prices for each part of the meal that are incredibly inflated, and low price limits for each meal - i'm not sure of the exact amounts but they're really really low compared to the $7 it's actually costing you to eat there (especially at breakfast it's like a $3 something limit) - they supposedly offer "meal deals" but they're really strict about substitutions like juice for pop b/c they have to pay more for that expensive orange juice than they do for the rot your teeth nasty tasting pop they have... and things like salad, fresh fruit, and fruit salad are overpriced and can't be substituted either -- you have to weigh your salad and fruit salad so a teensy bowl of heavy fruit salad can cost like $4! that's over half your meal and if you want juice instead of pop and a healthier sandwhich instead of a burger, it's gonna cost you way more than the $5.95 limit so you're screwed, and if you can't make the narrow buffet style cafeteria time spans because of classes, meetings, etc, then you don't really have much of a choice at all. grrrr f-ing marriott.
