RP Food Queues

Republic Poly is known for it food variety. However, good food is closely followed by long queues. Many students face this on a daily basis because a thousand students are released for break at the same time. As hunger blind students eyes, they overstep the queuing etiquettes. This may be something that is not really relevant but it happens everyday and it does irritates a lot of people. Some etiquettes are what I would be talking about. The first etiquette would be never cut queues. It really annoys the people at the back who have been standing for a few minutes already. Suddenly when you cut queue in the front the others find it unfair. Never give excuses like I am rushing for class because almost half the people in the queue is also rushing for class. Imagine someone else cuts queue, you may also be annoyed. Imagine if almost everyone in the line cuts queue, the last person may never get to buy his or her food. Another etiquette would be never to enter a line as a group and crow

1. For the First break leave immediately to avoid queues !  For the first break the trick is to leave immediately for breakfast as if you are lucky your facilitator would release you early for the first break and you will be able to beat the queues to have a hearty breakfast ! Be sure to have your breakfast early as it is also key to a healthy diet ! 2. For the Second Breaks wait 30 minutes later before you go for your break ! For the second break the trick is to wait for at least 30 minutes as all students would be rushing down to get their food, lecturers included ! the peak hours for this is at 12pm just exactly when you are released for your breaks so be smart and wait for at least 30 minutes before you get down. Have a heavy breakfast first before going for your second break as queues can vary depending on the days so it would be best to wait for at least a minimum of 30 minutes. You can also get work done as it is still fresh on your memory of the work and once yo

Republic Polytechnic is a place with so many food varieties to choose from. There are many choices that Republic Polytechnic offers. From local delicacies to western choices to sweet course. Sometimes its a headache for RP students and lecturers to choose a food they want to eat. There are many places like North and South Canteen, Lawn Canteen, TRCC Cafe, and even Subway. All these food places are located at different parts of RP and people have different choice to eat from for each day in a week. Therefore, RP students and lecturers are never bored of the food provided in RP. It is common for students to have their favourite food but it is not everyone's favourite. There are still some best foods that people rave about of the food in RP. Now I will be talking about the top few food that people think are the best foods in RP. There are no ranks when I am identifying the food varieties in RP. First is South's canteen "1983 A Taste of Nanyang" . This has been quite

With a problem comes a solution right? So here is a solution to the issue. A solution is that food vendors can expand the queue by having more than 1 queue (e.g. 3 if the stall is very popular). If the vendors were to expand the queues, the queue will not stretch so long such that it will obstruct others pathway. Another solution to the problem is that the food stalls can hire more vendors to help them with the long queues. With more manpower, more staffs can help in preparing the meals and even taking the orders. Thus, this could increase the efficiency in getting the orders ready. The third solution is that they can have different break times for the students. An example of this is that Republic Polytechnic can have break times for Year 1s at 9.30am, Year 2s at 10.30 am and the Year 3s at 11.30 am. With the different times, not many people will be at the canteens at any time and this could potentially reduce the long queues in the canteens. In conclusion, these three are soluti

Long queues in canteens posts as a matter that everyone dreads. But why? Long queues obstruct the path when people want to walk. When the queue at food stalls gets too long, other people will have difficulty navigating their way through the crowd. The first group of people that will be affected by the long queues are the food stall vendors. If the queue gets too long, the vendors will feel pressured and this could lead to them being confused between orders. One thing that I observed at the South Canteen Fried Chicken Stall is the long queue and there was once when the aunty gave my friend the wrong order. This is due to the fact that the aunty was stressed because of the long queue and she got mixed up between customers' orders. Another group of people that will be affected are the students. If the queues get too long, students may not have enough time to get their food during the break. This could potentially affect their performance in class. I interviewed my friend and she

Having long queues in food courts in a common problem in Republic Polytechnic. This above photo is taken at the peak hour at 1.30pm at the North Canteen in Republic Polytechnic one of the 3 food courts available to students and staffs in the campus. This could be a problem for students and staff as normally students would have to queue long before eating their food which would waste time for students. This doesn't just happen in the foodcourt it happens every food court in Republic Poly as well. It is also crowded everywhere in various canteens around Republic Polytechnic due to the break timings for all classes ending at the same time at 12pm for every class. We hope that we are able to create some awareness to Republic Polytechnic students to be wary of the peak hour timings and off peak hour timings in order to maximize productive learning.
