Increase in the Cafeteria

This academic year brought some new changes; one of them was the price on the cafeteria food. It has increased a little but to some it is a bit overpriced. Teachers and students have different opinions in the matter, varying between it is too expensive to it is fair. 

            Even though there is new food in the cafeteria, the students argue that it cost too much. Some students that bought in the years prior now are bringing food from their own homes. And not only are the students that complain but also some teachers. “The beverages are high on price.” said, not one, but two teachers who would like to remain anonymous.  One of the changes in prices people are noticing is that the baleadas and sandwiches increased 3Lps, and the lunches you can preorder have increased by 5 Lps.

We asked the cafeteria lady why these sudden changes have happened and she told us that the prices have increased with the basic food basket. When asked his opinion about the prices, teacher Sergio Pineda said it, “Is the reflection of the times we are living

            Some students and teachers say that because of the increasing prices the least they could do is bring more variety of food. One of the options that a teacher gave us is to sell ice cream. Students have a lot of ideas as to what they can sell in the cafeteria, but when approached they seem to forget all of the ideas they once had. But with the students that used to buy in the cafeteria that now don’t, come the new ones that always buy; so the cafeteria income might be suffering just a small decrease.

            Our economic times are changing in the country; therefore, they are affecting the cafeteria. And the kids will complain, and maybe even the cafeteria lady, but it is just something that is the reality of our times.
