Comments on: The Trayless Tab http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/02/20/the-trayless-tab/ a look at how America squanders nearly half of its food Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:34:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: kim http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/02/20/the-trayless-tab/comment-page-1/#comment-21063 kim Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:33:38 +0000 http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/02/20/the-trayless-tab/#comment-21063 well, i haven't dropped anything yet. so it's not that annoying for me. and it does make me get up multiple times because i need to make two trips if i wish to imbibe any liquids with my meal. i guess it's not that annoying directly for me per se, more annoying because everybody around me complains about it. people are stupid. so annoyance of not having a tray itself- about a 4. annoyance of having to hear people complain- about a 7. You're probably right about adjusting the amount of food. good point jonny boy. well, i haven’t dropped anything yet. so it’s not that annoying for me. and it does make me get up multiple times because i need to make two trips if i wish to imbibe any liquids with my meal. i guess it’s not that annoying directly for me per se, more annoying because everybody around me complains about it. people are stupid.

You’re probably right about adjusting the amount of food. good point jonny boy.

Thanks, Kim. But what I'm wondering is whether or not you find yourself taking less food and eating more of what you take. I would guess that if they made the trayless thing permanent, they'd adjust the amount of food served. On a scale of 1 to 10, how annoying is it to not have a tray?

I don't know how much water it's saving, and it seems to be saving very little food because they're still putting out the same amounts in the dining hall. I guess mostly it's just pissing everybody off and causing a lot of people to drop food due to poor food carrying equilibrium, i guess. but it is saving water, is what they tell us. hey jonny boy,

It would be interesting to see if fewer freshmen gain the 'freshman fifteen' once trays have been eliminated. I bet anything students are also eating less.

Glad to hear the Green Wave has caught the Trayless wave. How many days a week are we talking about? Did they start in January? I have to say, I wish they served a Friday night <a rel="nofollow" title="scroll down a bit" target="_blank" href="http://www.diningservices.tulane.edu/SpecialEvents.html" rel="nofollow">free breakfast</a> from 1 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. when I was in school...Or had sax-playing shrimp.
