TIMMY HO'S FO SHO’ 3 iciies scien

W,y don’t we have a Tim Horton’s at New West? David Lam has one and it’s quite
popular. We have the space for one here if we were to just remove that greasy mediocre pizza
place in the basement of the college, anyways. And if I want pizza there are still many places
to go right on Douglas’ doorstep (Bella, Royal Hut, Boston... need I continue?), all of which
are far superior in quality and service to boot.

Even if it’s not about the quality for you, consider this: if 1 want a special order at the
deli, the pizza ladies glare at me and look at me like I’m crazy. True story! I once ordered a

slice from the Deli, and I asked for—oh my god, the humanity —a fresh slice just out of the
oven. I was told, “Never ask for this again!” and then they shoved the slice of pizza towards
me without a care as to whether or not it would be dropped on the floor. Good customer
service, eh? A food place worth giving my business to? I think not. If I’m paying good
money I expect a good return, not just service-wise, but I also expect to get a hot, fresh, tasty
piece of food; that’s the way it’s supposed to be.

Anytime I’ve ever been at the David Lam Timmy Ho’s they’ve never, ever done that!
Their servers are nice. They are patient. I once needed to order several doughnuts for a
meeting and they bared with me as I made my selection, which went on and on for ten
minutes, despite a busy line no less!

That’s the difference; they put in the effort. And it’s obvious why: making tons of pizzas
in a day is stressful, especially when it’s busy. Doughnuts don’t have to be as fresh. So, it
could clearly take that stress off the staff allowing them to focus on customer service instead
of making enough food to last the rush.

Therefore, instead of wasting our time with $3 slices of grease, why don’t we get high
quality doughnuts, drinks, and soups? I’d much rather deal with staff who are not so stressed
out because of how busy it is on break than the pizza-making stress balls we currently have.
Also, it would make getting a quick snack that much quicker because everything at Timmy’s
comes pre-prepared. So, the next time you think, “Man, I want a pizza,” go to the cafeteria,
or to any number of the local pizza establishments instead. Help push for more doughnuts,
soups and coffees for all instead!

Kickin’ it old school at the NWC
Five reasons why Douglas’ New West Campus Is
AWESOME 3555, sisi

  

 

1) The Concourse: quite a kickass place to hang out, study,
socialize or just be college-like. A host to numerous events
and activities, the center point of campus is never too
cold, and is naturally lit all year long (except after dark,

of course). Connecting the cafeteria, north, south, east and
west divisions of the school, and acting as home to the
registrar’s office, cashier, and security, our concourse is
the perfect center point of 700 Royal Ave.

2) Architecture: the NWC uses its surroundings to

its advantage in getting along well with the terrain of

\ the Royal city. New West is full of hills, and Douglas

 

 

College is exactly the same way, as large staircases and
different levels seem to flow into one another with ease.
Overlooking the Fraser River, sunsets are thoroughly
enjoyed at any window, with six floors to choose from.

3) Transit: How easy is it to get to school in the morning
with the SkyTrain, TransLink’s quickest mode of
transportation, stopping one block south of your first
classes. Burnaby is within a 10 minute train ride, and
Vancouver is no more than a half an hour away. Reaching
David Lam requires SkyTrain and bus from down town
New West... how convenient...
