The New Deposit System


Something's buzzing this second semester! Starting November 16, all major cafeterias (JSEC, AMPC and Blue and Gold Cafeteria) will be introducing a new system for diners- The Deposit Scheme.

For JSEC, aside from the normal food prices, customers will be paying an additional fee corresponding to the plates and utensils borrowed (spoon= 5php; fork=5php; plates= 10php; tumblers= 10php). Upon returning the borrowed materials to the centralized deposit station, customers may get their refund. For instance, a rice meal costs 50php. Customers may rent a plate, spoon or fork or just a plate and will thereby pay an additional 20php or 10php, respectively. After eating, the deposit fee may be reclaimed upon returning the utensils to the Distribution and Deposit Claiming Area (DDCA). Customers who will present their own baunan need not pay for any deposit fee.


For AMPC and Blue and Gold cafeterias, customers who will dine-in need not pay any deposit fee while customers who wish to bring-out plates and utensils will need to pay for the deposit fee (sporks=2php; plates/baunan= 18php, tumblers regardless of size= 13php). These plates/baunans and utensils are different and are distinguishable from dine-in wares. There will be people stationed at each entrance and exit points to check the wares. For Blue and Gold cafeteria, utensils borrowed are to be returned to the same food stall he or she has borrowed it. For AMPC, borrowed utensils are to be returned to the Distribution and Deposit Claiming Area (DDCA). Customers who will present their own baunan will still receive discounts and need not pay for any deposit fee.


Through this system, not only do we hope to reduce the amount of lost plates, tumblers and utensils but also to help further develop Ateneans as responsible consumers.

Be part of the change. Join the e-Bee army! Visit the Hive (LS Bookstore) to join or http://ls.ateneo. edu/aemc for more details.
