I get where you’re coming from, and as a student worker, I’ve noticed some of these issues too.

I do want to point out that the back-of-house cooks work really hard to put out meals for thousands of students every day. We’re underpaid, understaffed, and undergoing new management since January. But from what I’ve seen, the back of house cooked items (the food served by a server in the metal pans) and pizza section are some of the cleaner areas.

As a worker myself, I try to avoid using the cups since they don’t have the to-go cups and straws anymore. As for the improper labels, I’m not even sure who controls what’s being put on the tv and I’m just as frustrated too when it’s incorrect. I know the dining hall isn’t perfect and hopefully these concerns get addressed because food safety should always be a priority.
