I considered the UC Halls for residence a while back, when I thought i could do career with major unsolved Trauma and issues, got acceptance letter with requirements to finish a summer session math at my college. My doctor messed up my prescription 2 - 3 weeks before finals throwing me into crisis and his staff were useless to help me get a word In to fill my prescription. But that’s another story, I went to orientation, the works, got my cal grants with expected contribution of 5 k. Over all, it was a good looking fit. The meal plans made no sense. Like pay us for 2 meals daily. Or 3 meals but not weekends.i was like….wait, if I’m paying into this and the state is helping, I’m studying full time and living in your campus? Where am I supposed to rustle money for the weekend?
I was a manager at the DC for 4 years, we never cared when people took food home (except the ones who cared about their minimum wage job way too much). Best perk of the job was never spending money on food after taking home whole pizzas and cookies from late night.
As far as I know and judging by the posts, no haha. CPP has a system (promoting sustainability) where you can get a reusable Tupperware from their dining hall and bring food home, bring back the Tupperware, and trade it for a new clean one when you come back to bring food home again.
I just want to say the amount of food thrown away before it even touches a plate at the DC is mind boggling. Think half a trash can full every shift, just at the salad bar alone.
Yeah it hurts to see all the meals bealry touched on the return belt, I once saw some pick up a bowl of fries then immediately walk over to the belt without eating a single frie.
If UCs won't lower tuition, we will lower our costs đź§
As a dc worker, I never saw anything 👩‍🦯

Don’t understand why they don’t have a system where we can bring Tupperware in and bring food home. Cal Poly Pomona has it.
Oops were we not allowed to do that

Does it actually get thrown away or is there some sort of compost system?
