Student Suspended For Opening High School Deli


Recommended Posts

LA JOLLA, Calif. -- A La Jolla high school student is in hot water for opening a deli on campus.

Matt Wong, 17, loves making sandwiches, so he took his pastime from his kitchen to his school's quad.

On his first day, he had 14 orders before lunchtime.

However, his operation left a sour taste in his principal's mouth.

Wong was ordered to shut down his deli because of health concerns and permit issues.

"He was quite serious about making sure no one got a sandwich. But I managed to get them all out," said Wong.

While the principal suspended Wong for two days for not following orders, students said they enjoyed the gourmet sandwiches.

Because there's no telling what this kid will have in his food. There are protocols in place for food to come in; it's not as if anyone and everyone is bringing food in for everyone to consume. They're looking out for the safety of the students more than anything else because it is a health risk. The food he's bringing in could be poisoned, contaminated, blah blah blah. Even though it could be completely legit, it's a safety concern.

Can you imagine what a parent would be like if they found out that their child got food poisoning from some random kid's sandwiches at lunch time? What's to stop him from putting rat poison or other chemicals in them, and then passing them off as healthy sandwiches?

I agree there was probably nothing wrong, but there's a reason that the principal was concerned.

I doubt he'd poison them intentionally, but its very likely that someone would be unintentionally poisoned. Unless, of course, he has better hygiene practices than restaurants, which is highly unlikely.

higher chance of getting poisoned by the cafeteria or some local fast food joint than from him id believe.....

we live in a day and age where for some reason, no one will trust each other. Keep this attitude up that anyone can and will hurt you, and we are all in for a horrible future.

Alright shakey, what if he snaps and instead of going through the route of bringing a gun to the school, he takes people out with his food? If he has established a daily deli at the school, this would be so simple for him. It's because of those who have abused trust that trust is hard to earn and gain.

It would be a completely different situation if he goes through a process of selling the food with some kind of license. It's no different than some guy walking up to me with food that he wants to sell me; I don't know him or what is in the stuff he's trying to sell me. I believe this kid would do no harm with selling the food, but if something happens, not only is he in trouble, but so are the people who run the school.

oh please, if we are going to throw in what ifs, we could say the same for any restraunt, mall, postal office, and school.

you either turst them and eat it, or you dont.

This comment made me laugh. You've never worked in a restaurant have you?

He isn't the only person who's butt is on the line if something were to happen, don't forget that.

For some reason this reminds me of the pic that shows a run down van and mentions something about "Get in, I've got candy." Yes, let's trust him, he's got candy after all, right? Doesn't completely apply here, but again, more than one person is responsible if something happens or if the kid decides to go postal.

I have and restaurants have to obey certain codes . wether they do or not is their problem and they risdk getting shut down .

Unless this kid broughta cooler with him then all it takes is for the mayo he was using to go bad and you would have alot of sick high school kids.

I think you do need a permit for selling food. I would say the school could get into deep trouble if someone found out a kid was making and selling food.

Yes he was wrong for disobeying orders, but why forbid him in the first place?

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the cafeteria was behind this.

How can they stop this anyways? If he's making them at home and bringing them to school, how is this illegal? I believe the "safety concern" is bull. If that's the case, then ban people from trading sandwiches and food with their friends.

Is it now?

Trading between students at any given time: uncontrollable.

Selling food to students in secret: uncontrollable.

Having a stand for students to line up at and buy food: controllable and liable.

^ I was unaware he actually set up a stand. After reading your comment, I watched the video (which doesn't work in Firefox :( ) and then I realized that he actually set up a stand.

I just figured he got orders and made them at home.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
