Boo Perry Cafeteria


Please join me in the revolt against what is now called "The Marketplace at Perry Cafeteria." The old Perry we all knew and loved is no more- it's now run by money-mongers with no heart. Above is a picture with food you will never see at "The Marketplace at Perry."

So here's the biz... I took my students on a Field Trip today (that is so weird to think that I was in charge of a Field Trip) to the Drama Festival at MSU. So naturally, we ate at the Perry Cafeteria. First of all, it is worthy of note to know that I contacted Dining Services yesterday to find out how much it would be. I was told we could get a group rate since we were a high school group.

WELL. When my kids got to the cash register, they were told it would be $7.99 for lunch. That is $8.55 after tax. So let me recount:
Lunch at MSU is $8.55
I am outraged.

Upon arriving home, I have e-mailed Dining Services, Robert "Doc" Fogelsong, Dr. Phil Bonfant (Head of Admissions) and the Aramark Corporation.

I am asking all of my reader to unite and please complain as well. I just want my voice heard. And to give all my sweet students some money back. Geez Louise, fo real that is way too expensive for a Lunch. We could have eaten cheaper at Harveys. (NOTE: my computer is stuck on bold. I have tried everything).
