As of July 2022, MLLs appear to be largely back to normal operations.
Ordering to the table has been shut down, with most MLLs offering self-serve buffets similar to what was available pre-COVID.
Note that the EWR MLL has been permanently shut down as a result of changes/construction at EWR.
Showers
YYZ int - closed (Aug 12. They claimed all showers closed at YYZ but I was only at int.)
YVR tb - open
YVR int - open
YUL int - open

Is it different from last week, or just different from what's in the wiki? Since the menus were all changed on the 28th or 29th, I've either not been up before the YYZ breakfast menu has disappeared for the day or not remembered to screenshot it and update the wiki. So the wiki does not reflect the big menu update from last week for YYZ breakfast.
I agree with this - Lot of bread/dough, little egg

I've tried the brekkie burrito on four different mornings (jogged memory from pics!) the past week and they've all been slightly different... seems like different chefs working that day... one day there as a nice amount of cheese, and some days there is a lot of egg and no cheese... and one day it was little egg and lots of everything else... and today they included two strawberries (usually one) and a little cup of what I think was sour cream (usually goes with the quesadillas)

Today I definitely did not get strawberries or any cream.

Does anyone actually follow the traffic flow arrows on MLL floors?
I have yet to see an employee or contract employee of AC actually enforce them.
in addition, they blatantly break it themselves, which would most likely make it more difficult to enforce. I'm not debating whether it's ok or not that they don't follow them... they are trained in what they do.

I can walk through the entire MLL, past every other guest, or I can go against the arrows, take a 10 foot trip, and walk past two people.
I'm not following the arrows.

My first time in an MLL in a long time. Must say I'm quite unimpressed that the YYC breakfast menu consists of eggs, eggs, eggs, or pancakes. At least there's one non-egg dish, but that's a serious lack of variety.

YYZ MLL was a zoo this morning- counted 24 people waiting in line to get in, circling back around the elevators - there was only one person staffing the desk dealing with a passenger issue. After we got in, others behind us were told that they are at capacity and that they had to wait. Only single seats were available in the socially-distanced lounge.
I heard someone saying they waited 40 minutes for hot food to arrive so staff members were walking around with a cart full of the hot options asking each table if they ordered anything.
Surely AC know how many are flying and how many have access so they can staff appropriate numbers .
