Dining Hall Scam

Back in my freshman days, my dining hall provided delicious food 19 times a week. I had a 16 meals/week dining plan that I went over on every week. I loved eating at the dining hall and the student center. It was a rare day when I ate off campus since I didn't have a car.

But there was a certain meal that just didn't fly with me, and I would avoid at all costs. BREAKFAST FOR DINNER.

Let me explain. Our dining hall charged us $3.75 for breakfast, $4.25 for lunch, and $5.25 for dinner. It was a total scam for them to charge us $1.50 more for breakfast, just by being cutesy and serving it for dinner. Why would I pay extra for the same food I ate that morning, and the same food I'm going to eat when I wake up the next day? Preposterous.

(Anyone who rationalizes it by saying the sandwich station, pasta station, and soup and salad bar were open during dinner as compared to breakfast is lying to themselves. Those are not why you paid $5.25 to eat there.)
