A new rule was in effect at Vanguard. For the past two weeks food was banned from the tech center and the entire school as a whole, and both the school store and coffee cart were both closed until further notice. Students were forced to eat their lunches in either the cafeteria or courtyard, but absolutely nowhere in the school.
Most students here at Vanguard cherish their lunch-hour, seeing as how it's a time to unwind and do whatever they please. Most students spend their lunchtime in the tech center on computers or lounging around the school. This sudden change in policy inconvenienced some students seeing as how if they wanted to partake in hanging out around the school they would have to eat their lunch then come back, then go to service, leaving them with a much more limited amount of hangout time.
The rule change is solely credited to Mr. Joseph "Pasta" Impastato, very own instructional assistant and keeper of the tech center.
"I got sick of cleaning up after people, you're all old enough to know better. One day I just brought it up at a meeting and all the rest of the staff were on board with the idea, so that's how it came about," sternly admitted Pasta, who has been at the short end of several messes by the hands of students, cleaning almost all of them up.
According to Pasta, dirty keyboards, unattended spills and wrappers have always been a problem and this isn't the first time something like this has happened at Vanguard. But Pasta said the last straw was a combination of food on the carpet, spills and entire lunch trays being left behind.
Today the rule has not entirely been changed but students are allowed to eat on one condition, "If we find a single piece of trash left behind we're going back," said Ms. O’Neill.

i can't take the credit for that quote. I am a thief just like Gustafson. I stole it from Joe Impastato.
