Student Complaints
There have been quite a few complaints about the price of food. I don't think these are justified. I think they are comparable with any of the prices downtown, and given the way the cafe is run this is all that can be expected. The sandwiches selling at 18c for example cost 14c to make (depending on filling) and the rest is allowed for wastage (mainly sandwiches not sold).
The 6% general wage order could soon put these prices up further.
There have also been complaints about the quality of the food, particularly the pies. Well as from last Friday, different pies are being sold, hopefully of better quality.
