Food for Thought (10/10/2019)

Do you really enjoy Diet Dr.Pepper? me neither. Sadly, diet drinks are basically all you can get out of the school vending machines. And the food in them isn’t much better. You barely get anything. The chip bags are 75 percent air and only 25 percent actual chips. These vending machines need a real revision, because they’re just not cutting it. 

Not only do they give you bad food and drinks, they steal your money! Multiple times I’ve tried to put a five-dollar bill in only to come up empty handed. Sometimes the coin return doesn’t even work, and your money is gone for good. The money that you just wasted on nothing, could have been used elsewhere.  

It’s not worth it to use the vending machines when you can just go into the lunch line and get better food and drink. Also, if you go into the lunch line youre guaranteed to get your change back. Sounds like a win win situation to me.  

While you may not be able to get regular drinks from the lunch line, it’s still much better than using the vending machines. So let me ask you this, the school has the money to add unnecessary security enhancement, why can’t they fix something simple like the vending machines?
