Oberlin, OH-
According to the managers of Azariah's, located on the first floor of Mudd Library, the café will soon cease to accept all forms of payment. The decision was made to make it more difficult to use the facility, a direction Oberlin College is taking with all of its dining facilities. The managers of Azariah's decided that they would phase out ObieDollars as an accepted payment because it "made sense."
When asked about the changes being made to Azariah's Director of Dining Michele Gross said the follwing: "Azariah's didn't accept cash, checks, credit card, or flex points. We didn't think it was appropriate to continue accepting ObieDollars as a form of payment. We're just trying to make it as difficult as possible for students to buy a $1.19 cup of coffee."
This change comes a year after DeCafé announced a drastic reduction in its operating hours. Other changes made by CDS with the aim of inconveniencing students who pay $50,000 to attend Oberlin include removing the option to use a guest meal and checking carry-out boxes as students leave Dascomb Dining hall. The Raisin has learned that CDS will be rolling out more measures to decrease accessibility to campus dining facilities in the near future. Stay posted for updates.
Now you can't even get carry out boxes within dascomb's food court. You have to put all your food on plates, "pay" for the food, then crowd around a table in the dinning hall with a small pile of carry out boxes on it. Once you can actually make it to said table, you transfer your food from the plates to a carry out box, THEN put all your "used" plates onto the dishwasher. Yeah, this definitely doesn't waste water...
