Many students here at Poly like to order food and have it delivered to the school for lunch. More of the freshmen and sophomores don’t know that students can’t order food. The fact is that students like to use Postmates, Uber eats, and Grubhub. I’ve noticed some things change since I’ve been here at Poly. When I was a freshman we were able to order food and have it delivered. Over the school years it stopped. Junior Anthony Castaneda said “It’s dumb they don’t let us order food, they swear they food good. Their food taste like dog food and they have no reason to not let us order because it ain’t even bothering them.” So he is not too happy with students not being able to order. Neither am I, I don’t see why we can’t order food. Some students don’t like school food and choose not to eat it. Some students have dietary restriction and can’t eat school food. That’s where Uber eats, Postmates, and Grubhub come into play.
There are good outcomes to allowing us to have food delivered at lunch. On one hand, students can enjoy eating good food with their friends. They’re also getting a meal of their choice and not starving themselves.
I, for one, believe we should still be allowed to order food because, just as Anthony Castaneda said, “It ain’t even bothering them.” All we want is to enjoy a good meal to fill us up at lunch. Most students oppose the restriction; they believe we should be able to order food at lunch. Some students have a lunch pass, which allows them leave campus at lunch to go somewhere to get food. Most students, however, can’t leave at lunch, so they should at least have the option to order food.
Another reason Long Beach Poly should let kids order is because, parents are always saying “Make sure you eat while you’re at school,” but if some students don’t have a PIN number to eat and doesn’t like school food they should have an alternative option.
