Getting up early in the morning, often before dawn, to get to morning class is hard enough as it is, but insult is added to injury when all the on-campus food and drink vendors are closed, right when we most desperately need a jolt of caffeine and a bite to eat. Late-night commuters are not much better off. Those wanting dinner, or at least a snack, after a long evening class all too often find that the campus eateries are all closed or cleaned out.
Look, I get it, getting up early and staying late are hard on the employees too; and if they are dependent on public transport like many of us are, they cannot be at work before or after a certain time. Even so, I think most campus food and drink vendors open too late and/or close too early. They are excluding a customer base that would be very appreciative of their service, if they offered it.
