The prices concerning the purchase of consumable products available for purchase in St John's Woodlawn Cafeteria (AKA 'Piddy's Place"), are grossly overpriced, and to put it simply, absolutely outrageous. Quite frankly, as a student, and a human being (falling in to the low to no income bracket) and given the current global financial situation, the prices are a travesty, and given this, I find them to be boarder line offensive. It feels, to me personally, as if there is some sort of class warfare being declared on my peers and I.
Given the majority of staff working in the cafeteria are on a volunteer basis, and the maintenance staff are also employed elsewhere in the college, I find the minimal overheads unable to justify the exuberant prices displayed on food items. I would propose a 30% decrease in all products available for purchase (excluding items below a 100 cent threshold) by close of business Friday June 5, 2015.

The stories shared in the comments reveal a common frustration regarding how much we are expected to pay for basic necessities on campus. It is becoming clear that these pricing concerns are shared by many who feel their current financial reality is ignored by the administration. I am currently organizing these testimonies to present them formally when we meet with the relevant decision makers.

Reaching this milestone confirms that many others recognize the disparity between the operating costs of our canteen and the prices we are asked to pay. It is encouraging to see this shared conviction and I appreciate the time each of you has taken to signal your agreement.
