Republicans Not the Only Idiots on N.Y.U. Campus
Huh! Maybe it's something in the water in and around Washington Square. We can't figure out why else N.Y.U. students, last seen trying to catch fake illegal immigrants, or protesting said catching, would tolerate waits of up to 11 minutes for their skim dolce cinnamon half-caf lattes in the morning. Where the hell are we, Uruguay? Don't they pay tuition so they don't have to put up with this shit, man?
Students find lines an annoying obstacle when trying to grab a cup of joe between classes.
For example, a WSN reporter found that the average wait to place an order after the 10:45 a.m. class dismissal was eight minutes, and it took an average of 11 minutes to actually get a drink in hand.
The line, which now often wraps around itself after looping around the back of Starbucks, has caused cramped and awkward moments for students.
Fortunately, help is on the way.
Starbucks and NYU are working to fix these problems, officials said.
"We've added a third register to handle transactions, added a second handoff station to speed up beverage delivery and equipped cashiers with radios to process orders faster," Hellen said.
The radios, which allow one employee to take students orders in line, were implemented last March and seem to be cutting down the time it takes to get in and out, Bolloum said.
But student frustration has not subsided.
"I think it's promoting civil unrest within NYU," sophomore Lauren Page Burner said.
