Conversation with Mrs. Gerischer; friday, 17th February 2017

Hey guys!
Today my group met with Mrs. Gerischer in our mensa for discussing our aims for the mensa. I think we were a bit nervous and excited first but in time we calm down. Before we started Mrs. Gerischer offered us free drinks which was a bit strange in this moment because we have to pay for it usually. Then we started.



Our most important ideas were:

  1. Free tea in winter (to the meals)
  2. Dessert every day (e.g. 2 times "sweet" and 3 times fruits)
  3. Juices instead of dessert
  4. Free water without lemon
  5. In lunch breaks: different grades to different times
  6. Prepare salt and pepper (on tables)
  7. Fruit salad as dessert
  8. Noodles in cup
  9. Big salad as starter

1. She answered that she already offers tea and that it depends on the costs, so it probably would be too expensive.

2. Well, first you have to know that Mrs. Gerischer offers only twice a week dessert but it doesn't cost anything. So her suggestion was to offer two times free dessert and the other three times for some cents (20-50 cents).

3. She said that she could also offer juice for free sometimes. But then she'll have to mix it with water a little bit because otherwise it would become too expensive.

4. She meant it wouldn't be a problem because there aren't more costs and some other students asked her the same before. By the way; we also asked her for mineral water in bottles for the selling. After that question she answered that she only forgot to order it. XD

5. She found the idea pretty well but she said it's the head teacher's job to decide things like that. Nevertheless we tried it out and formed two lines.We think it would work better or rather quicker than at the moment.

6. She meant the 5th and 6th graders would mess around with it. So it wouldn't have a good ending.

7. She said that she could offer it without a problem. So maybe there will be a fruit salad as dessert soon.

8. The noodle cup was one of our most important ideas. We explained to her that there was a noodle cup at the old eating service which was very popular. She said that it's a good idea but she doesn't want to decide it without the opinion of other students (see 17th March 2017)

9. She answered that it would be possible if she took a little money.


Mrs. Gerischer wrote down all our suggestions in her notice book for improve our mensa. She will have to think about some things and then she will have to see if it works.

Yours,
Justine



4th May 2017:
She already offers a noodle cup and sometimes the juice (mixed with water) is offered to the meals. Maybe there will be a few things more after the summer holidays because she wants to improve her plan for the mensa then.
