Result Killed By Committee
Remarks FAILED - Lack of student demand, increased cost and man power, and a credit card can be used to add money to a Mav Card at the Bursar's office. "Credit Card machines take 2-3 minutes per use"
Whereas Bothe the Plaza and the Paradise Cafe use only cash and the Mav Express cards; and
Whereas These establishment are losing business; and
Whereas It does not make any sense that the only credit card facility is the General Store; and
Whereas If credit cards are available for students to use, it is an additional payment option for students.
Be It Further Resolved That Credit cards be used in Starbucks Coffee House, The Plaza, and Paradise Cafe.
