"It's really disorganized," she said. "No one really knows where to go."

Tammi Moore, a technical service employee at Fresh Express, said the new location of the salad bar is easier on the employees.

"Moving the salad bar works better," she said.

"When we were out [in the dining area], we couldn't tell when we were busy or low on things. Now that it's back [with everything else], we can have someone jump over and help when it gets busy."

One of the biggest complaints about the changes, however, is the elimination of the smoothies, a student favorite.

"They don't have those really good smoothies anymore," Lebow said. "That's awful."

It was hard, however, to keep up with the cost of ingredients and demand for smoothies, Moore said.

"It's so expensive to make them, and we'd never be able to keep up with it if we had the machine out [with the other beverage machines]," she said.

"It took two hours for the mixture to freeze to a slushy mix. The other machines are easier to keep up with," she added.

Unfortunately for smoothie lovers, Moore said she is doubtful these drinks will make a return.

Fresh Express now has all of its beverages in the dining area for students to choose from at their convenience.

"Now we just sell cups," Moore said.

Employee Hilary Dover (freshman-division of undergraduate studies) said she has not heard many complaints about the beverage changes.

"I've heard one or two people complain about the smoothies, but there's still the slushies, and they're still good," she said.

Dover said that she was not aware Fresh Express was going to be making so many changes to its facilities and menu during the break between semesters, so after she returned, she had to adjust.

"I only knew they were going to paint, so when I came back, I was like, 'Wow ... ' " she said.

"It was a bit more stressful in the beginning with everything near each other, but now we're more into the rhythm of things, and it's easier," she added.

Moore said that the recent changes have made it easier for cashiers because they no longer have to worry about separate discounts on purchases.

"Now we don't have to double swipe the cards," she said.

"The separate bottles of soda and chips were only discounted 10 percent, while everything else was discounted 70 percent. Kids off campus have a different meal plan, though, so theirs was only discounted 10 percent."

The drink and snack selection is another change for students that Dattilo noticed.

"[The variety] got a lot smaller too," she said.

Moore said because of this change, Fresh Express could have a "combo price."

"It's now cheaper to get a wrap, chips or pretzels, and a drink," she said.

Dover said that Fresh Express has not lost customers because of the changes.

"It seems pretty much the same," she said.

"There's a few more people at The Grille [in Fresh Express] since last semester, but that's it."

Moore also said the eatery has not seen a decrease in sales.

"Every spring semester, we are busier than in the fall," she said. "I don't know if it's from [the changes made] or from more people knowing about us. It takes time for freshmen to figure out we're here and what we have."

Nathan Walvoord (freshman-physics) said he still enjoys going to Fresh Express.

"I love it," he said. "I'm not disappointed at all."
