Talk about losing an appetite. Barbecue sauce and puddles of pop cover the tables. As students go to sit down, their attention is drawn to the sticky substance on their hands. One usually prefers to have a clean table while they eat but it is seldom that one will be available while dining at the Loyola Cafeteria. Many of the students at Loyola are accustomed to the food and conditions of the cafeteria. Some actually like it. There are many fast food restaurants far superior to the cafeteria in taste and temperature of the food, cleanliness of the eating area, and overall atmosphere.

Upon entering the cafeteria, the first thing one notices is the foul smell in the air. It is the smell of sweat and old French fries. The heat only amplifies the odor.

Dirty chairs

Scummy tables

Crowded

Mean cashiers

Hot

The food served here is not much better than the conditions, maybe even worse. For instance, a cheese pizza and a sprite may sound appetizing to and average student. Appetizing only to the point at which the student finds a dark black hair in his or her pizza. To wash out the disgusting thought of eating a hair the student takes a swig of pop. As the student sets down his or her drink they realize that a fingernail is sitting at the bottom of the cup. Fed up with the unsanitary food, the student immediately leaves the cafeteria having lost his or her appetite.

Fast food restaurants are ten times as better than the Loyola cafeteria. Fast Nice workers Clean tables Hot fresh food, quality, no regrets. Temperature, smell, lots of space, comfortable booths.
