As a student worker of Sodexo, I find it very amusing when students write articles about my workplace.

Most times my fellow employees and I take the constructive criticism and reevaluate our customer service, but as far as the article posted last week, there are a few holes in that story.

First, the C-Store does provide fresh produce. We get a delivery every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Recently, we started to purchase more, but when the semester first started the fresh produce didn’t sell as much.

Students always ask me if I can ask my boss to purchase items and most times I tell her; since I can tend to be a little forgetful (senior problems), I made a suggestion box. It’s been on the counter next to the Mentos gum and lighters for about two and a half weeks now; come in, check it out and make a suggestion!

We have had several, and since those suggestions have come in, my boss has purchased seven out of the eight suggestions that we received. Sorry, we will not be selling pregnancy tests, but we have purchased heads of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, squash, and celery. They go extremely fast, so on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday you should come in the morning – we are trying to get the ice back, stay tuned.

Moral of the story? Ask and you shall receive, if it’s possible. Our store isn’t that big, you know; we are a convenience store not a grocery store. I look forward to reading more of your articles and I hope that you will utilize the suggestion box that we have provided.
