Most would agree that inviting strangers to come suspiciously roam the outside of a building full of students sounds like a bad idea—especially considering the country’s current climate. Unfortunately though, that’s the exact scenario that many schools are put in when ill-advised high-schoolers order food from within their building.

With the explosion of food delivery services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become common to see high school students ordering food online from various companies like Doordash, Grubhub and UberEats. Many do this in order to save time spent preparing a meal and avoid the often-criticized cafeteria lunches in favor of more popular fast-food options (no offense cafeteria ladies; everything on your menu that doesn’t include cheese is quite good).

But as deer break-ins and more seriously, school shootings rage across the country, it’s beginning to sound like a not-so-good idea to utilize food delivery services from school. Needless to say, it’s pretty dangerous to allow random people around the building.

What ends up happening is the student asks the driver to come to a specific door instead of the main entrance, leading to misunderstandings with the security officers as the delivery people wander around on school grounds. The delivery people don’t really have much of a choice either, because if they don’t make that delivery exactly as they were told, they likely end up with a bad rating, which isn’t exactly a fantastic look for their employers.

Not only is ordering within the school not safe, it’s also pretty often disruptive. The officers often make the drivers come to the main office, whose staffers have better things to do than to participate in the school food-trafficking business. It also disrupts the flow of class and gets on teachers’ nerves when students ask to go get their food. Not to mention, skipping class to get a nice meal can earn you dirty looks from some jealous people.

And I really hate to be that guy, but there are reasons why our school lunch menus are what they are. There’ve been certain school lunch standards, (most recently the ones implemented by the Obama administration) that have been put in place so students would eat healthier and it actually worked. So instead of following the recommended health guidelines, students end up eating fast food, which, as you may have heard before, isn’t exactly the best way to maintain a healthy diet.

The end line is that as great as it might be to dig into that nice meal, delivering food during school can inconvenience, frustrate and at worst, endanger the people around you.
