Aramark is Evil

I found this little gem today on the IUP website.

Oh Aramark. Just another way to cut costs ruthlessly. And then claim it's for the good of the environment.

Ok, I admit it kind of is. But I know the company too well to actually believe that this choice was based off concern of the environment. Less trays means less money on water (the dishwashers use an incredible amount of water), less money wasted on employee hours (Aramark hates paying people), and apparently 24% less food wasted. They say other schools are doing it too! Who wants to be bet those schools' food service is also Aramark?

Aramark has never been concerned with anything except the bottom line (I could go on and on...). So while I'm happy that at least we will be making an impact, albeit a small one, I am just skeptical.

"So we lost a lot of money last year making food that no one ate."
"Shit. What do we do about it?"
"Ummm... Ok, I got a plan: let's take away TRAYS. THEN people will want to eat at the hub!"
"... What?"
"Yea. Didn't you hear? Kids these days hate trays, but they love the environment."
"... Fucking brilliant!"
"I know, right! Pass that joint over here..."
