Project One: Observation Notes 1

Page One

The cafeteria area:

Very crowded and busy especially during lunch time.

One half of the room is covered in glass and see through windows.

Patio is covered by a cement covering.

There are white metal railings.

There are various ramps and each level differs in height. The ramps make the patio and the general cafeteria more accessible to the handicapped.

There are tall red umbrellas used for when it rains or when it is too sunny.

The ceiling that covers the patio is held up by circular columns or pillars that are green.

I just saw a guy in a wheelchair drop his cell phone and a guy in a green shirt was nice enough to pick it up for him.

The tables on the patio are made of plastic that resembles marble or some sort of stone surface.

The chairs on the patio are made of metal and have a pattern that goes across the bottom and the part that people lean their backs against.

The color scheme of the patio is very boring and plain.

There is a strip of green dry wall that holds lights on near the entrance of the cafeteria.

Then there the majority of the ceiling is covered in pipes and ceiling lights – the pipes and the ceiling are painted black to make it less obvious and more hidden.

Near the window there is a bar style horizontal table accompanied by an array of bar style chairs. You can see everything that is going on outside when you are eating at these tables.

There is a section of couches and loveseats to the far left of the entrance.

The air conditioning vents are painted black and you can see the pipes that let out the air.

There is a guy in a red shirt with the biggest Mohawk I have ever seen in my entire life.

There is a station that holds all the napkins and utensils for people to use when they are eating their food.

There is a wall of five flat screen TV’s.

There is one leather couch surrounded by green patterned chairs along with circular tables. There is also a wooden table in the middle of the couch area.

The green loveseats are very uncomfortable and scratchy.

There are a lot of people who wear tank tops.

Starbucks: there are wooden tables and chairs.

There is a trio of shelves that hold various brews of coffee and other starbucks products.

There is a red, orange, yellow, and green painting of an elephant with the word “Kenya” at the top.

The back of the starbucks outlet is a wall covered in green, brown, and clear see through tiles.

There is a weird circular figure on the ceiling that holds lights and something that looks like an air conditioning vent.

One of the lights looks like a gigantic Christmas light bulb.

There is a section with straw, stirrers, creamer, and sugar and right next to it is an emergency first aid kit.

Near the front of the cash register there is a large glass display of various breads and pastries – donuts, banana bread, muffins, and so on.

Underneath the pastries is an assortment of drinks.

The front of the refrigerator are covered in colorful writing – im assuming its some sort of chalk or marker.

There are two giant coffee grinders full of coffee beans.

QDOBA Mexican grill:

The tables are made of a mixture of both wood and metal and the chairs are made of wood and metal painted black.

The dining area and food line is separated by a metal and glass separator.

There are glass barriers that cover the food line.

There is a drink station that offers various drinks such as coke, orange soda, iced tea, and so on.

QDOBA offers something called a naked burrito.

The air conditioner vents and ducts are painted grey on this side.

Qdoba has a bunch of dirty grills where they cook the food.

On the left side of chick-fil-a there are four sections of booths.

The lines at chick-fil-a are constituted by black metal railings.

The food is stored in small freezers and little food heaters.

Inside the chick-fil-a kitchen there are a bunch of deep fryers. DUH 

This old guy is changing the trash can bags and is making a lot of noise.

It smells like chicken.

From the booth area you can see the chase atm machine.

The ceiling is comprised of boring white foam tiles.

There is a ramp that makes chick-fil-a more accessible to the handicapped.

There is a red trashcan and a green trashcan.

THE FRESH FIX: vegan, vegetarian, fruit, and salad

Open refrigerators that hold a variety of drinks

The other refrigerator holds an assortment of fruits and all kinds of salads and wraps.

I would probably never eat at this place.

There is a guy who has his phone plugged into the wall and he is talking VERY loud – I can hear him through my earphones.

Next to THE FRESH FIX there is an EXTREME PITA.
