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.
