One of the few drinks you have the chance of purchasing at Lakeside, as they experience a shortage of products.
Recently, students have noticed that the Lakeside Coffee shop often lacks many ingredients. Most students have early classes and choose Starbucks as an option for an on-the-go breakfast or for coffee, but are unable to get most things.
“It is usually an option for breakfast when I have early classes, but it does not have a lot of stuff now,” sophomore Julio Ávila said.
In the past couple of weeks, Lakeside has been missing cupcakes, flavors and coffee, or even the Doane Dollars card system has stopped working.
“I don’t necessarily blame anyone; it is just frustrating not being able to get breakfast in the morning,” freshman Kate Byerly said.
“I just want coffee, and when I go to get one and they don’t have it, it makes me upset,” freshman Chloe King said.
A big concern is also the schedule of the Lakeside Coffee Shop. According to students, it appears to be closed for several parts of the day.
“I would say that for The Den and Lakeside, the workers are gone for long stints at a time,” freshman Toby Knevett said. “It is not fair to students. A coffee shop in Lincoln does not close for over 30 minutes every day and they often close before 10 most nights.”
“Sometimes I feel like it is closed all day. Last semester, it used to close almost every day at 9 a.m., right before classes started,” freshman Jaime Palá said.
According to the Doane Student Council, students have submitted several complaints about not ordering enough supplies, not only at Starbucks but also at The Den. Regarding the supplies, workers are not able to share information on the subject, but students have certainly noticed.
Regardless of the concerns, the Lakeside staff maintains a positive attitude and serves students as best as they can.
