Neither Chow nor Chicken will be gracing the dining hall with their presence at lunch today.
Instead, we applied for luminous-green-fortification-and-beverage-redeemable-sheets-of-flattened-wood-pulp, otherwise known as meal vouchers. Chicken presented it for sandwiches and some apples.
Which lead me to remember the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. As someone once put it, imagine what you could do with a bag of apples and the doctor’s wife… =)

Meal vouchers are the biggest rip-off of the 21st century.
Firstly, I have no inkling of a clue where they get the random 30 cents from. Probably pulled it out of their royal asses because nothing in this world costs something-and-thirty-cents.
Secondly, buying lunch from Royal Sechaba would put a R18 dent in your cash reserve. So…R13.30 vs R18…omg it’s a conspiracy!
Thirdly, it is pretty anal that only selective stalls on campus accept vouchers. To this day, I have never bought food from Souper Sandwich, the Chinese place and the Harry Potter shop. So I have to give up the chicken noodles for an egg sandwich. Sad, I know.
Last, but not least, why is it that some places don’t give change? Or they only accept R11 out of the R13.30. If they gain on average R2 from 1000 voucher-users, that accumulates to quite a scary amount.
’tis why I’m changing to BAD )Breakfast and Dinner) next semester. Chicken noodles…here I come!
