Hello Allen School Students,
The ACM team is excited to announce that Snack Overflow is fully restocked and ready for customers! We also added some new changes to the store/system since last year.
What is it?
As some of you may remember, Snack Overflow is ACM’s honor-based, self-serve, convenience store, located in the ACM Lounge of the Paul G. Allen Center (basement of CSE 1). It provides all kinds of snacks for purchase, from muffins and chips to cold brews and green tea! The store is a small community-focused, student-run store that the ACM team works hard to keep running.
How to use it?
We are continuing to use our Square tablet checkout system. After choosing the items you want, use the store tablet to add the corresponding items to your cart and checkout by swiping/tapping your card. Square requires a $1 minimum per transaction. Moving forward this year, we are no longer accepting Venmo or cash payments.
New Changes
To monitor and combat theft, the Allen School has installed a video camera in the lounge, surveying the checkout area. ACM will not have access to this footage, only the department will.
New prices and new items. Unfortunately, Square raised their transaction fee just as the school year started so we’ll need to adjust prices accordingly. Throughout the year we will be trying out new items and and try to provide bigger snacks to match pricing accordingly.
