RIDGEWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — It’s a trend that is being stopped in its tracks.
Administrators in one New Jersey school district have put a stop to food deliveries during school hours. It had become a popular alternative to the school cafeteria.
For 5,900 students in Bergen County it’s a simple directive: either carry in your lunch or buy it at the cafeteria. No more delivery.
A local deli owner told CBS 2’s Lou Young the new rule is killing him.
“I used to do 150 lunches on a slow day, up to 250 a day. I was in eight schools, and now that’s down to zero,” said Roger Schmorrbusch, owner of the Park Wood Deli.
Were a friggen embarrassment to the whole country. Three articles in a single week that make national news. What a joke.
The deli is a survivor not to worry. The little boys and girls should pack a lunch or maybe mommy or daddy can make it for the spoiled children instead of starting a childish lawsuit.
Boycott Parkwood.
The parents can still stop in and buy lunch, he just can’t set up delivery at the schools. Deal with it.
Deli Parents: you are making Ridgewood residents look like spoiled children. I have explained to out of town friends/family that it is just a small number of self-centered families.
Wow, that’s a lot of roti de boef au jus lunch platters!
hey he looks like that guy from the dpw.
