Employees Suggest
Improved Methods
Through the suggestion system
employees have expressed their
ideas concerning the Caromount
Cafeteria. Two of these suggestion
blanks relayed messages that merit
the attention of all employees.
An employee has suggested that
each person enjoying the services
of the cafeteria, “put their waste
paper from sandwiches and lunch
es in wastebaskets and their bottles
in racks.” With the cooperation
of all employees in following this
suggestion the cafeteria may be
kept neat and attractive at all
times, and at the same time provide
more satisfactory services.
Another suggestion from an em
ployee stated that peoi)le often
stand at the serving counter after
having been served; thereby, mak
ing it difficult for others waiting
in line to he served. It was sug
gested that employees he seated
as soon as possible after being
served in order to provide space
for others waiting in line.
Full cooperation in carrying
out the.se suggestions will be of
great benefit to all.
It would also be of great assist-
