The number of unique visitors at Sodexo is at a 5-year low, according to a study published by the Illinois Malnutrition and Sleep Deprivation Association on Friday.<\/p>\n
The survey, which asked students to report how many times they ate at Sodexo on the week of April 7, brought to light an alarming statistic: 45% of students did not go to that culinary wonderland over the span of seven days. When our own investigative team went out to figure out why, responses varied:<\/p>\n
“I lost my ID a few months ago,” said one junior, who requested to stay anonymous. “I know I could just pay $5 to replace it, but I’m fine with missing out on my 5 ounces of breakfast food.”<\/p>\n
One sophomore going through the same situation claimed the “morning staff aren’t very forgiving about it… [it’s] easier just to avoid them.”<\/p>\n
Other complaints arose about the quality of food at Sodexo, with Gohum Supta (’18) remarking, “I haven’t bothered going ever since they stopped stocking the salad bar with mozzarella balls.”<\/p>\n
Regardless of their reasons for quitting Sodexo, one trend is obvious: students are increasingly turning to delivery food services to get their grub. In a recent revenue report released by Jimmy John’s, the sandwich chain calculated a “295% increase in sales, with the majority of growth coming from IMSA students”.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, we attempted to ask Gohum how much money he was spending on the delivery items, but he declined to comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
