Spanish senior Chris Linder swiped his Tiger Card at the dining hall recently, expecting to see close to 60 meals lighting up the cash register’s screen. Instead, he saw the number 25.
After talking to his friends and the Tiger Card office, Linder discovered that meal transfers between September and November had not been charged consistently to his Tiger Card, but were instead all applied at once, drastically decreasing his total number of remaining meals.
“It’s really frustrating,” Linder said. “Now, on top of finals and everything else, I have to worry about if my meals will run possible.”
Linder said he hopes LSU Dining will reconsider its policy.
“It’s a little surprising that LSU Dining would be so inconsiderate toward students,” Linder said.
Barr said if students have questions about their balances, they can call, e-mail or go to the Tiger Card Office in the Student Union for assistance.
