[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP when did you see this change?  I thought WJ has had open lunch forever.  [/quote]

OP here.  I noticed them last year but they were (mostly) really good about buying lunch and taking it back to school or eating while they walked back.  I think the businesses complained last year and WJ admin started reminding them not to sit down and eat outside the school.  This year they are sitting at indoor and outdoor seating almost as an extension of their cafeteria.  Maybe it's just the good weather?  Or they need a reminder they shouldn't do it?  I don't want to go out to eat there because there aren't any seats left.  [/quote]

There are ~3,000 students stuck in an overfilled building with only one break for lunch. Yea for the ones getting outside for some fresh air and vitamin D. I’m sorry if your employment is so rigid that it coincides with your only opportunity to go outside, too, and that you also can only go to places within a couple blocks of WJ. If not, choose another time or place. 
Kids spend a lot of money at these restaurants. The shops may feel it after Woodward absorbs some of the students and decreases the WJ population. Occasionally, there are kids who can’t afford to buy lunch who join their friends who can. I’m sorry you had to witness that and that it interfered so much with your lunch.[/quote]
