[nabs-l] problem with college cafe

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
That sounds fine. They could put reminder notes on the bulletin boards.
It makes me made too when students cannot show common curtesy. It only takes 
a second to push in a chair. I was taught that growing up; maybe these 
students were not taught it or don't care.

I often brought my lunch also when at community college.

Hope it works out.
Ashley

Dear Ashley,
I don't want the college to enforce it but just remind students to do
it. I bring my lunch to school with me so carrying a tray is not an
issue for me. Thanks for your thoughts.
Sincerely,
Nathan Clark
