Thoughtless rancor has driven students to argue that it is HUDS who is at fault here, and that the managers and workers are simply lazy or corrupt. On house e-mail lists, some have even gone so far as to attack specific dining-hall employees. All this bickering directed at middlemen ignores the fact of its futility and carries on, instead of discussing solutions to the actual problem, like more flexible meal plans...
