The Central Intelligence Agency is known for its secrecy, but recently, an e-mail was leaked critiquing the food—and service— that the CIA cafeteria has to offer.

Most of the complaints tend to focus on bad customer service, lack of ketchup packets, and the occasional missing item. The Daily Caller compiled a list of the top 10 complaints the CIA had received about its cafeteria. Here are some of these complaints!
*None of these e-mails have been revised to fix grammar or spelling, it just adds to the novelty of the experience!
Stale bread at Subway
“I was very aggrevated at buying a subway sandwich and going back to my desk to eat…to find the bread sale and ‘crunchy’ hard…I had to eat the inside and throw the bread out…normally I would return it and have them make me another but I was already at NHB … 6th floor …a and too far and time consuming to reurn. PLEASE PLEASE … do not serve us stale bread. I never get stale bread at other subways … so can you lease hold quality control here to subway standards. Thank you”
Missing condiments
“Please put back the individual packets of ketchup, mustard & mayonnaise. The large pump boxes of these items are not convenient to use, causing frustration & are not liked by many people.”
Unauthentic world cuisine
“I had the Russian meal today and am disappointed. […] I feel that someone tried to “Americanize” the food so it is palatable to Americans. Please realize that many of us have really traveled to these countries and when you provide food like you did today, it causes me to not support this kind of cuisine in the future. I feel that for example Beef Stroganoff is more American than Russian.”
For a highly respected agency, they sure do have some petty complaints … and poor English skills!
Is the CIA still a “highly respected agency”? I’m not too sure about that. But it’s good to know petty complaints are universal.
