So long, my smuggling days

July 16, 2011 By: Mai Truong Category: One shot, University & Cafeteria

So we’ve been stealing bananas for nothing.


Today I discovered that St. John’s cafeteria lets you have take-outs. As many boxes as your heart’s content. I know, right? What school cafeteria does this? Their food is not out of this world or anything, but for us student conference attendees, who pay only $50 per week for a room and 2 meals a day, I’d say it’s pretty sweet.


And here I thought we’ve been sneaky after every meal, before walking out of the dining hall, we wrapped up one banana or a piece of brownie to save for breakfast the next day (‘cuz breakfast isn’t included in the 50 bucks). Oih, St. John’s, you crashed my smuggling dreams.

  2. We are heavily subsidized by Los Alamos National Lab. Even if all $50 goes to the meals, that’s only $3.57/meal. The actual price for lunch and dinner at the cafeteria is $8.75/meal, which is still cheap for all-you-can-eat dine-in and take-out.

  3. That is not a bad looking box o’ food for $3.57. Now the smuggling brownies will just be for the chocolate addiction?

  4. Yeah I’m still taking out the brownies now, but there’s no sneaky thrill in it anymore. 😛
