Finals bring munchies by Kelly Boylan Finals week means big changes. Regular study schedules give way to late- night cramming, to rushing around under stress and, in many cases, to a different diet. Finals affect not only students, but local businesses trying to keep the students fed. Studying students eat a lot. The biggest sales increases are in pizza, the 24-hour restaurant business, and alcohol and caffeine products —caffeine tablets sell just as well as coffee. In the week before finals, restaurants near campus are practically deserted during normally busy hours. The International House of Pancakes was completely deserted at 6 p.m. Monday except for a waitress and a cook, but they said they expected a big crowd soon. “They don’t come in just one or two at a time, ” waitress Falesha Bandy said. “They come in groups of seven or eight or more, and the biggest seller is definitely coffee. ” She added that the study area at the back of the restaurant stays full all night long and into the early morning. Carol Starlin, another IHOP waitress, said that about 95 percent of the students eat while they study. “Sandwiches and breakfasts are the most popular,” she said. “A lot of the students come in, eat, then study, then eat again before they leave.” She also said she prefers to serve Aggies. “They’re never any trouble, and they even help clean up if things are really busy, ” she said. Some students, however, like to stay at home to study. During finals week, Dominoes’ Pizza delivery business jumps 30 percent Employee Tim McColloch said he can tell when orders will come in during most of the year. “Commercials during a TV miniseries always bring a rush,” he said. “During finals though, we stay busy all night long.” It would seem that finals week is a good time for business, but it isn’t without its pitfalls. McCulloch said that more Dominoes’ employess quit without notice during finals than any other time of the year. Grocery stores also see an increase in business during finals. Skaggs Alpha Beta employee Bryan Warran said, “We sell a lot of snacks, a lot of junk food and a lot of Vivarin. ” One item that drops in sales during finals is liquor. Coach’s Liquor employees note a slump every year that coincides with finals week. On the other hand, stress brings people together, and Ricky Becker said he expects to be busy at the Dixie Chicken. “As soon as they’re finished, they’re ready to party, ” he said. He guesses that the beginning of the week will bring normal business, but said that “Thursday through Saturday will be a madhouse, because not only will finals be over, the parents will be in town.” Movies Emiliano’s In Bryan at502 W. 25th Street.
