Can we get a reloadable card option for the POS seeing as we can't pay with legal tender?

IF THERE IS A CARD OPTION AS ADVERTISED AS ACCEPTED PAYMENT PLEASE COMMENT ON HOW TO PURCHASE ONE WITH CASH

I've asked around and nobody seems to really care, with the exceptions of students and construction workers/visitors who grab a $4.50 drip coffee...ARGH

While we're here... 1 max ketchup packet w/ meal extras = charge, 1 napkin dispenser, minimal access to consistent hot water, 2 microwaves that nobody (I don't blame them) cares to clean, no free utensils... I get it. A lot of this stuff is expensive to not charge for. Damn it if we can't get a communal station for students to actually enjoy their lunch area without worrying about being nickel and dimed while not being able to pay for said nickel and diming with literal nickels and dimes.

Thanks.

Casa conmigo

*context* my partner is Mexican, I live in Canada, and she is 2 gruelling years away from obtaining her permanent residence... meaning we can fly to Mexico, hopefully with a child en tow, or bellied. She has been here for 5 years, and we have been together for 3 of the best of my life, and they are only getting better. I don't think I can ever vocalize the love I feel for her, let alone the love I share, but this is one of my efforts. As reductive as it may be: I did a format I do not do often, because I tend to ramble in my writings. P.S. I have learned while formatting this for acento's that casa conmigo literally can mean "marry me" in Mexican Spanish. I think I will propose to her tonight. I'm going to read this to her.

To whoever the older gentleman was behind me who honked and made a fuss about me waiting in the intersection until the coast was clear, I am sorry that I reacted the way I did by flipping you off and yelling at you out my window when you pulled up beside me aggressively afterwards.

The car that made me feel unsafe was first the car that slowed down approaching the intersection on their right-of-way solid green, as they were in the "straight" lane and did not move into the intersection, confusing me, and prompting you to usher me into the lane to complete my turn from the centre of the intersection.

They only came to a complete stop as the green finally changed to amber, at which point I completed my turn with you, the only vehicle, closely tailing me to clear the interesction as well.

The car that made me feel unsafe after was yours, as I signalled over to the slow lane to allow you to pass, which almost caused an accident as you took a wide turn and then veered to the left to over-take me.

The final car that made me feel the LEAST safe was... mine. I took my attention off the road, away from my observations of the scenario with my passenger in tow, and proceeded to yell at you to "GET HOME!" and "FIGURE IT OUT.", among other choice words I cannot illustrate here.

I am sorry for the childish reaction. I don't normally lash out like that and I needed to type this out to clock my feelings in that moment and try to do better.
