Ok we all know the line is scary and looks like it is going to be a hellish trip spanning decades, but lets see how the numbers break down. After having 6 kids monitor one week of school lunches here are numbers. I actually waited till the lines were bigger, the freshman and 2 sophomore who did it had no choice. The study was actually originally 7 case studies, but the senior just never waited in line, so i eliminated the outlier. (the last 2 kids were juniors, but yea. most of them were conscripted from my play) It would see that this problem though it is exists for senior is not as big an issue as most have found ways around it.
Monday- 6.2 mins (on this day one of the kids had to put money in and she said it was brutal. The wait in theblack money machine was a good 5 minutes, maybe that is what they need to fix)
Tuesday- 6.4 mins
Wednesday- 8.2 mins (that was odd.)
Thursday- 3.1 mins (gotta love x-block)
Friday-6.4 mins
It is not as bad as i thought it was, but still not great. I should be smoother. One other huge complaint i heard echoed by a lot of people was "it is not fair that they stop the food service 15 minutes before second lunch ends." Anyway though i would share these findings.

Interesting statistics; it doesn't seem so bad to me, though. As you see it, what would enable the line to move more quickly? Before you re-design the whole thing, think about small changes that might cut down the lines.
Wow... it definitely seems like it takes longer when you're waiting in that line during second lunch.
Lunch is so short that 6-8 min seems like a big deal, especially with 5 extra minutes for putting in money. What if you have to meet with a teacher after class for 10 minutes. that gives you less than ten minutes to eat!
