Some cafeterias across the nation participate in a terrible, terrible tradition of “Trayless Tuesdays”. Trayless Tuesdays are a travesty. Zach B from Hastings has one word to describe Trayless Tuesdays – “Disgusting.”
Disgusting indeed. Well said Zach. What happens on these Tuesdays? Some Cafeterias do not provide trays for carrying your food. The cafeteria workers usually tell students they don’t put them out to save the earth because trays need quite a bit of water to be washed. Cafeteria people – this is awful. This must be stopped. What are you going to think of next? Forkless Fridays? Spoonless Saturdays? Maybe you can implement Starving Sundays and simply not serve food once a week.
As you can see, Trayless Tuesdays are ridiculous. To protest, we all need to participate in Steal A Tray Monday. Every Monday before Trayless Tuesday, steal a tray and take it back to your room. Then use it on Tuesday.
You should do this every week, but I’ve made a Facebook event for Monday, February 16th. This way we can spread the word and get our friends in on it. Invite all your homies.
If you’re a big pansy and/or you have morals that permit you from stealing, simply dirty a bunch of other things on Tuesdays to make up for your lost tray. Derek B from Nova Scotia said, “My friends and I have been intentionally dirtying twice as many plates on tuesdays to counteract the lack of trays!” Derek, you are the Canadian man.
Steal A Tray Mondays – Because we should be able to get a tray 24/7, not just 24/6.
Sorry I’ve been gone so long my friends. I hope you didn’t hold your breath. I missed all of you AGs. Fear not – I’m back now.
i thought plastic cafeteria trays were disposable, no? ha. another clever solution.
Hey Matt, I just wanted to get something I absolutely hate off my chest. The Cold. I hate it more than solar power!
Anyway, I appreciate everything you and all the other AGs are doing. Hopefully within the next 5-10 years we can raise the temperature in Chicago to a comfortable 80 degrees in January. Thanks all for helping me achieve my dreams!

I’m fervently doing my part to speed up global warming and help the economy at the same time:
I just rented a second apartment in Raleigh, NC. They are roughly 12 miles apart, and I spend as much time as I possibly can driving between the two of them in my decommissioned military surplus H1 Hum-Vee that gets .5 miles to the gallon. I’ll upgrade to a Sherman tank as soon as I can get my hands on it.
Tip #2: I set my GPS to give me a route not by shortest distance, but by longest distance. Nowdays, even a casual trip to the grocery store has me driving through Kentucky.
I 100% support Steal A Tray Monday!
Let’s do this!
Wait..I’m not in college..so can I participate in this at my local Wendy’s or White Castle?

I have morals. Just steal two for me when we go eat.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to steal multiple trays on Monday for the multiple meals you eat on said Trayless Tuesday?
my college bans trays on tuesdays so i might just try steal a tray monday. lol. great idea!
In France, they serve trays every day to every student… I guess the lunches are so big here you really do need a tray (:
you realize of course, that by taking your Monday tray to RE-USE on Tuesday, you’re still using one less tray that week? fail.
Adrienne,
When I steal a tray, I take 2 or 3 and put the one I’ve used for my meal back. Please refrain from leaving comments without first thinking on this most glorious blog.
can you upload a pic I took I have a collection of about 42 trays I have stolen so far I would just like to show my progress to all those out there that think were loosing the war! fight on and steal a tray!
Ryan-
Of course! That’s great. I’ll shoot you an email.
I’m not sure the goal is outright theft. Of course the school would have to buy new ones to replace the 42 in your posession, but the goal is to ensure their continued reliance on excess soap and water to clean the trays. I think it would be best if you got some eggs, scrambled them (do not cook) and spread them across the trays. Egg Yolk is a nightmare to clean – then return the trays so they can complete their circle of life in helping the AG movement.
pave the rainforest!
