Imagine knowing exactly what goes into that stuff they serve in the dining halls. And imagine cooking it and serving it to a lot of people who don't like the looks of what they're about to eat.
Welcome to the life of a dining hall employee.
To make matters worse, you have to deal with students complaining about the food quality – something you can't do anything about.
In addition, due to everyone piling them up so high that they get stuck, dining hall workers have to routinely unclog the conveyer belt that sends the trays to the kitchens. It's not fun digging through everyone's leftover food with your hands, whether or not you have gloves on.
The best part is that the job involves really long hours – they have to be there hours before meals are served to cook and set up and hours afterward to do dishes.
And they still have to do their homework.
