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.

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
