No Seat for Lunch

DISSENT

The staff obviously misunderstands the essential purpose of the Cafe. The action taken by HDS makes it clear that service it what is at stake, not profits. And good service entails ensuring paying customers that they have a place to sit after they purchase their meal. HDS has a responsibility to students to do whatever is necessary to provide this essential service. Perhaps HDS can add more tables. If they can, they should. Yet, if they can't, then all vagrants should be expelled from the Cafe.

Stand firm, oh Messiah.
