The Lincoln Log

Every day the lines at the Beanery always reach the doorway. I walk in and the room is filled with hungry students of all grade levels who are waiting in lines to buy their food. Observing all this makes me question what many may take for granted. What is so great about the food here? Why do students come here every day? Perhaps they come for the prices. But is the food really worth it?

I over hear students like freshman Vicki Tiet complain how “every day the lines are too long” and how they always have to “watch people cut in line.” So why not create a new line? It’s always crowded in the beanery and people are cutting all the time. I used to line up and wait for half the lunch time just to get to the counter. It would be really helpful to have another line for the beanery.

Food at the beanery is not as good as it could be. Since they raised the price of the food, I don’t really think it’s worth it. Pizza originally cost $1.50 and then all of a sudden, I noticed that it cost $2.00. They shouldn’t have raised the price just because we now have “Hawaiian pizza”, which by the way tastes aweful with the pineapple.

The cookies, salads, taco pockets, hamburgers, and soups are really the only great food at the beanery. The pizza used to be good before it took a vacation to Hawaii.The sandwiches of turkey, ham, and tuna are horrible. They should make it taste better by adding tomatoes so it won’t seem so plain. The bagel, I personally don’t like it because I have to dip it in cream cheese. It would be better if they already had cream cheese on the bagel. Then again, the strawberry cream cheese is a great new taste.

The beanery has too little choice of food. I remember in my middle school, they had various tasty choices such as stir fried noodles, fried rice, cup of noodles, chips and sodas, ice cream and popscicles. If our high school would adopt this food, it would totally increase the variety of food our school has to offer.
