Do you pay for it with pre-tax deductions?

Wow, are you kidding me? What kind of world do you live in? Most BBs have on site cafeteria, the food is okay. Many junior bankers go since it tends to be cheaper, and is close to the office.

1) My Shop has a Cafeteria, as I would expect of most major players and smaller firms (Something like a Brown Brothers, for example) that use (or own their) an entire building (or complex) to have. 2) No one looks down upon using the Cafeteria. I've been on line paying for breakfast/lunch/coffee/etc. and you would be standing next to Director level folks and higher without realizing it. I've gone down to the cafeteria and seen the US Division Head of my group in the line for Burgers. I've seen MDs in Asset Management, IBD and Wealth Management down in the cafeteria, so don't worry about being looked down upon, which you clearly are, about getting food from the Cafe.
3) Is the food good/healthy? Depends on what you get. 4) No. You can't pay with pre-tax deductions. You could try to expense it, but good luck.

You have the choice to be healthy or to gain some weight, lol
