Busboys Beg Mercy

busboys so their job will be
harder, which is correct. We
will admit that the cafeteria
may not be nicest place to eat
meals, but it also not the nicest
place to work when
thoughtless acts like these take
place.

This does not only occur in
Contract cafeteria which is
visited by mostly first year
students, but also in Open
Square cafeteria whose patrons
are usually upper-class men. It
is quite easy to see whose
"mommys" did everything for
them. Perhaps if the patrons
bussed their own messes
sometime, they would not find
these acts so exciting.

Please have some
compassion for the busboys,
the fine ladies who work during
the day, the serves, the
cashiers, and all of the rest of
the people who work for Food
Services at the cafeterias, and
they will try to make the
experience of eating at the
cafeteria much more pleasant.
