Having a light morning snack or mid-day meal will never be the same again when I go into school to help Sandra the Resources Lady with a rush job of photocopying as I now belong to the cashless catering society.
I was a little nervous as I approached the table to be biometrically registered, there were computers and instruments of a technical nature everywhere, all laid out flashing and beeping ….
…… but it was quick, quite painless and no blood was involved, all they needed were my fingerprints. I asked and was assured that my details would not be sold or be used for nefarious purposes on the internet.
To make sure, I insisted on looking at the screen and seeing what mysteries my fingerprints had given up.
Anyway, what all this simply means is that once I have put some money into my account, when I go to the cafeteria for a bite to eat, all I have to do is press a button with my finger of choice, I should then be instantly recognised, my account debited and hopefully my hunger satisfied.
So while I was in the vicinity and the kitchen was open I decided to check out the new menu to make sure all this technology was worth it. They appeared to have sufficient peas for my needs ….
….. and I was impressed that there was a good choice of coffees, cafe latte being my favourite.
….. and cookies galore……
…… plus a freezer full of Rockets and Cornettos for when I get hot and sticky….
So all in all it seems an OK sort of set up, however I am a bit concerned that my muffin consumption may cause the machines to beep wildly if I overly indulge!

wow its like a SiFi film your so tecno wear gloves some one just might cut your finger off so they can use your credit or they may make false fingeprints buy lifting your fingerprint of a glass or the top of a sticky bun and making a copy out of wax i would stick to cash or a good old packed lunch big love marc
Will they be checking up on what you eat? Is Big Brother watching you? There is plenty to go wrong with this technology. Do they sell peas individually or by the kilo? The world needs to know.
