Q: Hi Ms. Schwartz, I just wanted to thank you for placing the trail mixes in cereal dispensers.  I wrote you a virtual napkin last night and it was amazing to see my problem was taken into consideration! Thanks again!
A: We really do pay attention and try to be as expedient in addressing your
concerns as possible. Thanks for writing.

Q: I have seen, numerous times, students stick their hands directly into the vats of trail mix in commons.  Is there any way that the trail mix could be put in a container similar to the cereal to avoid contamination?
A: This is an excellent idea. Thanks for writing.

Q: WAY too much fish!
A: Not really. Thanks for writing.

Q: We have soups, salads, pasta, and God only knows how many cereals, but you know what we don't have?  That is beans.  We need our beans.  Did you know that that is a staple crop in Mexico?  All you need to survive is beans and rice.  I think the we should have a crock pot filled with beans everyday.  This would really satisfy my belly.  Plus, it would give me my daily fiber intake and protein since I don't eat meat. It would not be very costly either since beans are very cheap.  I love beans!
A: Perhaps you are not looking for beans, because they are most certinally
available every day. Wither it is on the salad bar or part of an entree
or the vegetable of the day, there are always beans available. Thanks for writing.

Q: Hey, I REALLY REALLY loved that Bates Own Sesame GInger dressing. It was delicious. But I haven't seen it the last few days... Can we bring it back!!! It would be much appreciated!!!!
A: Glad you like it. This dressing, like all our dressings, is part of a
rotation. You will be seeing it again soon. Thanks for writing.

Q: Hi Christine,

I know I'm being super picky, but would there be anyway to split up the lunches and dinners when nuggets (be they chicken or sesame) are served? I really enjoy both, but two types of nuggets on one day is too much even for me! Thanks for all of your hard work. This year at Commons has been wonderful.
A: Can do. Thanks for writing.
