01/18/12 Elite Cafe Announcement
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012Welcome to New, Returning Students, Faculty and Staff!
I just wanted to give some useful information regarding the cafeteria: Operating Hours for Spring Semester are M-Thur 7:30AM – 7:30PM
Friday 7:30AM – 2PMBreakfast is served 7:30AM – 10:30AM, however, Breakfast Burritos are served ALL DAY. Lunch and Grill items are available after 10:30AM (this means french fries, sandwiches, hamburgers, lunch specials, etc.) We do not accept $50 and $100 bills, we have experienced a high volume of counterfeit bills on campus.
We do not give cash back on purchases or do split checks. There is an ATM on campus in Building 700 – Admissions & RecordsBeginning February 6th, we are imposing a $3.00 MINIMUM on all Credit Card and Debit Card purchases. This is due to the credit card processors increasing the fees on transactions, and some people are trying to charge $0.25 on a purchase. We actually OWE money on that transaction.
Thank You,Elite Cafe
