Two Dinners for the Swipe of One

Like it or hate it, it's hard to beat the res-life caf for convenience. Best of all, they're pretty lenient about dinner swipes.

Let's say, hypothetically, that you are all out of meal swipes for the week, and you are hungry. Your roommate still has a meal swipe left, but she's hungry too and doesn't want to give up her dinner. Here's how to get two dinners off of one meal swipe.

For better or worse, the Sodexo employees are pretty forgiving when it comes to second helpings on meals. Have your roommate give you her card, and get it swiped at the caf. Once you get past the register, find someone who is on their way out, and tell them that you forgot you had your roommate's card, and could they give it to her on their way back to their room (she'll be waiting by the entrance to the caf) so she can get into her dorm?

Now, just pick a table and wait. Your roommate will soon have her card back, and all she has to do is go through the line and tell the lady at the register that she had a late lunch. When they swipe her card, it will show that the current meal has already been used up, but the face and name on the card will match the person holding it; after all, it is her card. They will almost always let her in, and you two can now have a lovely dinner together.

One of the benefits of this two-for-the-price-of-one scheme is that the first person to enter the caf can be anyone, even someone who isn't a student at Chapman. As long as the person swiping the card the first time doesn't check if the face on the card matches the person holding the card, the first person to enter basically gets a free meal. And, after all, what better way of telling your significant other that you love them than treating them to a delicious and nutritious meal at the oh-so-romantic Chapman Cafeteria?
