Long lunch lines can have a negative effect on both students and schools.
Negative Effects of Long Lunch Lines on Students
When students are faced with long wait times at the cafeteria, they often feel rushed and end up having to eat their lunch in a hurry. This not only can lead to poor digestion but also to a poor meal experience. In some cases, students may be forced to skip lunch to get back in class on time, resulting in a decrease of concentration, energy and even sleepiness in the classroom.
Negative Effects of Long Lunch Lines on Schools
Long lunch lines can also have serious financial repercussions for schools. When students are turned off by the long wait times, they may opt to bring their own lunches from home or look for alternative food options off-campus, rather than go to the cafeteria. This can lead to an important loss of revenue for school nutrition programs.
