Subway needs to be open later
Why does Subway close at 5PM now? As a student that doesn't have a meal plan and who isn't going to pay to go to Mines Market, this is a pretty big inconvenience.
We asked Mines dining about why Subway closes at the times it does and they responded by telling us that they monitor how many people come into Subway at a time. Since not as many people frequent Subway as the other dining locations they felt it was in the student’s best interest to close it earlier because if it was open longer and more often it would raise the overall Meal Plan costs for all of the other students. So since, it is not as frequented as other establishments it’s not open as long because it is not cost effective to keep it open for longer. If you feel strongly about this matter and are okay with potentially raising the costs, feel free to email us or come stop by our office hours!
Sincerely,
USG

Just so you are aware, the gold plan costs only $300 and it provide 30 punches, and $120 of munch money. That's just $6 for all you can eat dinners. This is around the same price as the cheapest meal that you can get at subway, and is hardly more than it costs to cook a good meal at home.
