Well, ya know, when you first come to Mines, there’s this thing called a meal plan. They got all kinds, but the most popular ones for freshmen are the Marble and Marble Plus plans. Now, I ain’t no expert, but from what I gather, them two are the best if ya wanna eat at Mines Market as much as possible. Pretty handy if you ask me, ’cause who don’t like eatin’ when they’re hungry and don’t feel like cookin’?
If you’re livin’ off-campus, you still got a chance to get in on these meal plans, too. You don’t gotta miss out on good grub just ’cause you don’t live in the dorms. All ya gotta do is fill out a form on somethin’ they call Grubby ID page. Funny name, but that’s what it is. And, if you got any questions about these meal plans, don’t be shy to ask the folks at Dining Services. They got a few options for commuters like you, don’t worry.
Now, I’m sure y’all wonderin’ what kind of meals y’all gonna be gettin’ with these plans. Well, let me tell ya, Mines Market got a good spread. They even got a custom omelet station, and let me tell ya, that’s the best part of the whole dang place! You can pick and choose what you want in your omelet, and they make it fresh right in front of ya. If you ain’t tried that yet, you’re missin’ out.
Now, I ain’t saying all meals are perfect. Some folks might complain about the food here and there, but that’s true everywhere, ain’t it? A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and you’ll find somethin’ to fill yer belly. And if you got time, the Periodic Table place got some good snacks and meals too, for when you ain’t in the mood for a full meal.
If you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ a meal plan, it’s good to know that they got all sorts of meal options. You can check out their hours of operation, the menus, and if you’re lookin’ for a job, they might even have some opportunities for that. Just keep an eye out for that information on their websites and apps. One thing that’s handy is the Everyday app they got. Makes it easier to know what’s goin’ on, when the food’s servin’, and all that jazz.
And here’s somethin’ I learned. In the hospitality world, they talk about somethin’ called the Modified American Plan, or MAP. It’s when ya pay for a room and then get breakfast and either lunch or dinner. Now, that ain’t exactly what we got at Mines, but it gives ya a good idea of how meal planning works. You decide in advance what meals you’ll want for the week. That way, you can plan around your schedule and what you feel like eatin’. Ain’t that somethin’!
So, all in all, these meal plans are real handy, whether you’re on campus or off. They got plenty of options to choose from, and you ain’t gotta worry about cookin’ every meal yourself. Sometimes, it’s nice to just sit down, eat a good meal, and get back to what you need to do, right? If you got questions, don’t be afraid to ask, and make sure you check out all the plans they offer. Good food, good times, that’s all we need.
