Have you innocently walked
out of the cafeteria carrying your
plateful of dinner, a glass for your
pop, or perhaps a mug?

If you have not noticed the sign
posted in front of the cafeteria -it is
considered shoplifting.

Even if you do not necessarily
shove the plate in your bag or purse:
to take home and add to your din-
nerware collection.Even if you
leave the glass sitting in the class-
room after you use it - it is still
considered an offence. _

Shoplifting would include any
metal or glassware taken outside
the cafeteria. The site supervisor for
security’s main concern is not only
the cafeteria manager, Ted Malek,
| losing money on stolen tableware,

but he is also concerned about
people "walking on broken glass."

If a person were to walk out-

side the cafeteria premises with a

_ piece of cutlery such as a spoon, it
would be considered an offence. As
site supervisor for security, Fadi

Baydoun stated "it is considered

theft under $2 000.00 according to

 

the criminal code." :

When a person is caught
shoplifting from the cafeteria for
the first time, the student or faculty
member will receive a warning. The
person will be "required to provide
a student or faculty ID" and
security will "keep track" of the
individual.If caught a second time,
they will be charged and it will
become "a police matter."

One student remarked, “you
don’t want to use those plastic cups
which hurt the environment."

"I mean are they losing that
much.I would rather use a glass
which they can wash right away
rather than the other (styrofoam)
ones which they throw away and
don’t serve a purpose."

The cafeteria manager was on
vacation and not available for com-
ment.

The site supervisor was not
aware of anyone being charged and
believes the instances of shoplift-
ing have “substantially reduced"
even though he admitted, "anyone
can sneak things."But so far, he has
not seen anybody shoplifting since
the sign posting."
