Students of Placer High school are trashing local businesses. Or are they? Many students of the school were interviewed about how they feel they are treating the businesses; respectful, disrespectful, trashing the place, and putting everything away all nice and tidy. Some comments may have even ended up revealing how much the staff actually respects the students. The local businesses were interviewed as well on their interpretation of how the students of Placer behave.

 

The first person to be interviewed was Nico Tocchini, a sophomore here at Placer. His view on how his fellow classmates leave trash in the busy businesses near by is that, “Ya, it get’s kind of annoying and stupid. The main people to leave trash would probably be the freshman and seniors”.

 

Tocchini also stated that, “Even my teachers get upset over it. Cleaning up is definitely something we should consider”

 

Ashley Adcock, another sophomore student of Placer, has a different idea of what’s going on,“Yes we could keep them a little more clean, but we are the majority of their business, so they should be a little more grateful”.

 

She also added who she thought left their trash laying out more and said “Freshmen. It’s definitely the freshman who tend to do it more” (Adcock). Now it’s time to see what the businesses have to say about this.

 

One of the Taco Tree staff who prefered to remain anonymous, gave his opinion on how the students act  during open campus lunch. He said “For the most part they behave, and if not we let them know that they can’t get out of line. It’s not really a problem, for the most part they put everything in the trashcans and respect the staff”. Looks like the students are behaving themselves in Taco Tree. How about for the other businesses?

 

Jasmine Bailey, a senior here at Placer, and a staff of Tangos, was also interviewed. Bailey has been working at Tangos for about 2 months now, and has a feel of how things go. “I think it gets super busy, with a constant flow of students. It’s no big deal though since they are all just trying to get lunch”

 

“It can get super loud, but i’ve never experienced any disrespect or anything. There’s been a few incidents where the students may change the radio station or turn it up super loud, and it can get a little obnoxious” (Bailey).

 

For Tangos, this is nothing new, it’s expected that things will happen, and of course it will be loud if their busy. According to Bailey, Tangos is a “ Pretty laid back environment, super open, with hours that make it almost always constantly open” (Bailey). Nothing to worry about here, the staff at Tangos are prepared, and understands the rush.


It appears that the students of Placer do just fine in respecting the businesses, and it appears the businesses do just fine respecting the students. From students to staff the open campus lunch seems to work out for everybody.
