Everyone here either eats disgustingly with their mouth open, or they
end up leaving crumbs and garbage and sauces on the keyboard or in front
of the computer. Or even worse, people end up just eating their entire
lunch or dinner in front ofthe computers without even using the machines
themselves. Pretty much every library and lab has a reasonable "no food
around computers" policy. Why doesn't UW? You'd reduce the wait time of
people holding out for a computer and probably save on repair and
damage costs to the people who spill their food.
...the libraries do have policies regarding food. It's more than fair, yet everybody abuses it and it's impossible to police people!
ReplyDeleteSome people just don't know how to clean up after themselves. Plus you're supposed to be grateful for that rule so that when you're too busy to eat somewhere else, you can always eat at the library.
ReplyDeletethere's an actual food/cafe area at the library though...like on the same floor as the computers in DC. there's plenty of space for people to eat, but the computers section really isn't one of them
DeleteThere are "no food" rules in the ECE labs, but they're not very reasonable when you're spending 16 hours straight in there.
