So I read this stuff is being done, at least in some areas, through Chartwells and CompassUSA. I've worked at universities that have Chartwells as the dining subcontractor, and those fuckers are some of the stingiest overcharging leeches in the world. They had a store of their own in-house foodstuffs like sandwiches, soups, salads, etc., that were all literally as expensive as just buying meals from the Chik-fil-A or McDonalds next door. Shitty cold ham sandwiches for $6.29 a piece, no drink or side included. Just the most awful prices I've ever seen outside of literal tourist traps. I caught a look at a shipping manifest they left on a counter while campus was closed, and saw they were upcharging the MSRP on chip bags by like 75%. Not the cost to them, the suggested MSRP.

Then these absolute fucking ghouls that pull literally MILLIONS in sales on campus per year have the gall to hem and haw about shelling out less than a quarter million to upgrade all their register equipment that's 15 years old and literally falling out of end-of-life support. This shit is sickening, but unsurprising given my previous experience with them.
