Our canteen, as we all know has the most bizzare taste for choclates and chips and other such snacks. We have got choclates which,trust me, can be found probably only in our canteen and nowhere else in the world.I mean, who has ever eaten/seen the 1 Re. choclates which are a poor imitation of diary milk. 'Bingo' must be getting all its profit from us guys, coz when we walk into the canteen, the only chips you can lay your hands on are Bingo. You got no other choice. Icecreams are pretty good, but they are the Only 'pretty good' things there, that the stock is over in a few days. So, one sunny day I cleared some of my doubts with the canteen uncle.
Self: "Uncle, Y no LAYS?? Y Bingo"?? (A good fren of mine is crazy about them, so this had to be my first Q ;)
Uncle: "Lays aithe meme balnagar velli stock teevali amma...kaani ee chips(bingo) ..vaalle college ki vacchi stock istharu."
Translation-*The lays guys don't supply it directly to the college and the canteen people havta go all the way to balnagar to replenish the stock (which we gobble down in about 2 days). *
And considering the heat and maybe fuel charges, they aren't doing it. So, option out. Understandable.Forget Lays and 'hail bingo'!
Self:" And uncle choclates we have got are either the chutku chutku ones (with really odd taste) or mars and snickers"(Which means, you either spend Re.1 or Rs.25 on any chocolate.No range int between.)
Uncle: Gives the same explanation about having to go to balnagar.
Self : "Uncle icecream stock is over since a few days. When will the icecreams come"?
Uncle: "Stock monday vasthudhi amma."(by then it was a week since icecream box was khaali. So, there you go, the stock isn't ordered according to our whims and fancies. It comes in on such-and-sucha day .Fixed mostly.)
Hands down again.
I then realised they must be having answers for all my Qs and gave up asking further :P
All this said, you wouldn' t curse the guy behind the counter soo much for not having your fav food on the menu, coz they too have their constraints. Same time i do agree, things could ofcourse get better and managed more smartly. For ex. read the convo below
(At the fruit juice counter)
Fren: Y isn't there apple juice?( long since apple juice is out of menu)
Man: aaj kal nahin laa rahen hain.
Fren: Kyun?
Man: aise hi.
Lol...what a comfortable answer! I amn't saying we can't do without 'apple juice' , but who knows what ll be compromised next! While this isn't about staging a protest against the canteen, we could do with some enlightening right?!...just so that you are prepared to take 'no' for an answer from the man behind the counter.
Now guys, if you got anymore doubts (m sure you ll have loads) go on and clear them. And yea, for any suggestions and complaints, theres a book being maintained right by the counter. Go on and fill it up :D
Happy eating.
