Seattle's Best (at taking a good thing and making it crappy)

So, my Critiquing the Arts professor told me if you attack a specific individual or company on a lot of blog sites, your blog is removed. But there's something that kinda pisses me off, and what's a blog for if not attacking random people and things you're pissed off at? Now that the coffee house in the Ragsdale building at St. Ed's is sponsored by Seattle's Best coffee, it's lost most of its appeal.

This coffee house is more than a little annoyance; it's costing me money. I used to get food there with my meal plan, but, mysteriously, they've stopped serving anything edible, including those old pastries they have on hand. The cafeteria has also been reconfigured to serve less appetizing food, so I've been resorting to eating at Whattaburger and the indispensable Burrito King and dropping cash far too often because of it.

Not that there's anything wrong with Burrito King. I'd take a bullet for numerous items on their menu, and if I could eat there for free, I would completely disregard my health and show up every day for lunch. But I have a meal plan and I didn't pay for it, so I should be benefiting from it and not spending hard earned money on burritos and cheeseburgers and delicious chocolate cream pie shakes from Sonic. I would have thought a corporate sponsorship for the coffee house would lead to a larger menu or no change at all. I can't see what St. Ed's or Seattle's Best would have to gain from this. Maybe they're cutting costs by limiting food service to the cafeteria, but we have that crazy Seattle's Best money now. Our money's long. So price shouldn't be an issue, but of course, it probably is. I really can't write any more. I've been wanting some Sonic for a minute here. Last year, I would've just went and gotten something from the coffee house.
