Don’t Be a Pinhead: Use Your Lunch Code
By Adelita Romero, Editor
Have you noticed how the pin number
policy is not being used consistently anymore?
This is because some students aren’t using it properly. They don’t
memorize their lunch code or they’re simply too stubborn.
What they don’t know is that this lunch code
could actually help them get their lunches faster, and they don’t have to be
worry about bringing lunch money every day because they could keep it in an
account.
Some students may wonder: “But what if
something happens to my money?” In the three years since this lunch code has
been established, a loss of funds has never been known to happen. The credit account system has been successful
in many other schools and, in fact, has been known to actually decrease lunch
lines. If only students could take one minute out of their day
to memorize their codes, our lunch lines would move much faster.
Besides being better for the students, the lunch code also benefits the school. It is an easier method of keeping track of the food inventory, and it’s a more efficient way of determining how many students eat each product and what they like best. That way the school could order more of students’ favorite items. Besides, wouldn’t you like to use the new technology, rather than paying for lunch the old-fashioned way?
Even though the lunch code didn’t seem to work the first month of school, the food service department will continue to try it every month. Maria Affatati, director of food services, would like to thank the students for their cooperation. If you have any problems or questions, contact the cafeteria manager, Mrs. Corbe.
