Dining hours: In the student's best interest?

The Piedmont College cafeteria has made a change this year. It began receiving services from Chartwells, a company that provides food to schools throughout the United States.
I’m sure most would agree that Chartwells is step up from past years. Chartwells food is healthier, their service is better, and their facilities are cleaner. Their strive for cleaner facilities and friendlier workers is noble, but what about customer service?
I would love to fully take advantage of these great things, but I rarely get to eat their because of the hours. Most of my classes take place during the hours the cafeteria is open. What am I supposed to do?
In reality I am paying for nothing. Buying a meal plan is not cheap by any means. So why should students get punished because their classes overlap the cafeteria hours?
I understand that the college has a contract with Chartwells, but other schools that they provide service too have more reasonable hours. At Texas State University, seven different dining halls offer hours that range from 7:00 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday.
The college was right in trying to find ways to better the school and provide we the students with a better quality of food. But they didn’t think of us when deciding on times. Chartwells has said that they stick to the hours they have now so they can keep everything clean. But we’re not asking for it too stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, a few extra hours a day couldn’t hurt. If the cafeteria were to stay open an hour later at lunch and dinner, many of the current problems would be resolved.
Overall bringing Chartwells to Piedmont has been in the student’s best interest. But until the cafeteria hours can be altered I don’t know if the students will see the good in it or not.
