More Complaints About Cafeteria

I am super pissed off with those rip-off pricks down the cafe Yesterday I paid over a portion of my valuable savings for a ticket and with hungry anticipation presented it today hoping to exchange it for a couple of greasy pies. The behind the counter took the ticket but then refused to exchange it for either the pies or its cash equivalent, and she also refused to return the ticket, saying it was valueless. I want either my money back or the equivalent in goods. The minimum I would expect back would be the ticket I bought.

The assistant manager explained that tickets that had been exchanged for goods were often used again resulting in losses for the cafe, crap! The losses are the result of ineffecient management - how can they make a loss on an oyster sized piece of fish they charge 25 cents for? If people down town can make a profit why can't the cafe? They have a monopoly on the place and who else can guarantee a custom of at least 2000 people? Perhaps Salient could include an article investigating the running of the cafe, and expose the ineffciencies in the place. The students association have to cover losses made by the cafe, including those resulting from managerial incompetence. Why is the cafe making a loss? It shouldn't be if they keep using the ticket system.

The ticket system is a thinly disguised method of ripping off hungry students in the manner I was ripped off. Sasrac tickets can be used at any time after their purchase because they are effectively destroyed after they are redeemed. Why not this system for the cafe?

I would suggest that those students without overdraft facilities boycott the cafe until things improve. Fuck the cafe! One of many dissatisfied, poor and hungry students.
