"Toward the end of September,
a new Quiznos will open in the old C-Store location on the Boulevard level of Usdan Student Center. Quiznos will be open for both lunch and dinner. This fall semester lunch will not be served at the Stein. The Stein will remain open for dinner and for the popular late night Ollie’s Eatery diner.
At the Faculty Club, additional seating, menu modifications, and hot buffet options have been added to better serve the entire community. The Faculty Club is now open to all faculty, staff, and students who wish to have lunch in that facility.
If you have any questions, please email me (
collins@brandeis.edu)."
Emphasis mine.
I don't know about you, but the last thing I need on campus is another crappy sandwich place. I do, however, need the C-store!
Was the student body consulted on this, something that affects us directly and in a very tangible way? I don't remember answering a poll or anything like that.
When it's late at night and the Branvan isn't running so you can't get to CVS and you desperately need condoms/tampons/batteries/shaving cream/Ben and Jerry's/what-have-you, will Quiznos sell it? Will there be another place that does?
Tell this Mr. Mark J. Collins how you feel!
EDIT: Never mind. Apparently they're building a new C-store in Lower Usdan. How they expected us to know this, I do not know...
