The Short Abstract:
A business tower with limited supply and limited choice of food offer will result health hazard to its workers working there. To read this in details please read further.
Introduction:
This is a food source report conducted to analyze the effect of limited supply of food source in A*C*RP Mall towards its visitors who are mainly workers who work in its business towers.
To analyse the situation, i have re-created the scenario into a story.
Scenario:
As usual today TC, Padme, Kerry, LF and me went to our usual place for our usual food and drinks. Except for COM he wanted vegetarian and joined his other friend at another stall. We had the usuals for the past one year and four months. Yet, the days we need to endure this sickening usuals are still counting.
Definitely, we are sick of the usuals. Unfortunately, we work in A*C*RP Tower where good food are scarce and you need to force yourself to swallow it. Here is my observation of our daily question and answer routine to look for food. Again, I stressed its a routine. That routine which you cannot miss. If you miss it meaning there is an issue. Here is the observation:
Observation:
TC : * Walks over to my cubicle *
Me : * I looked up *
TC : Jom, makan.
Me : Yeah... where?
TC : Dunno.
Me : lets ask Padme and COM
TC : Yeah...
TC : jom, makan.

Me : * silent and praying *
TC : Dunno.
Padme : lets ask Kerry.
TC : Yeah...

Kerry : yeah... * smile like a cute angel * ... where?
Me : * silent and praying *
Padme : hehehe...
TC : Dunno.
Kerry : lets ask LF.
TC : Yeah...
TC : jom, makan.
LF : Yeah... where?
Me : * silent and praying *
Padme : hehehe...
kerry : * smile like a cute angel * hehehe...
TC : Dunno.
COM : Lets go down first...
TC, Kerry, LF, Padme, Me : ok.
* While in the lift *
Me : So where...
TC : Dunno.
Padme : anything...
Kerry : anywhere will do...
LF : hahahaha...
COM : * on his phone talking business deal *
* about to reach ground floor *
COM : * closed his phone * So, where do we eat?
TC : Dunno.
Padme : anything...
LF : hahahaha...
Me : * look at him * i love you...
* Out in the A*C*RP lobby *
Me : Ok, where?
TC : Dunno.
Padme : * silent and praying that William won't ask her *
Kerry : Hehehehe... anything lar
LF : * look elsewhere *
COM : * phone ring * hello, ya ya.. the business deal is on.. RM4.5 million... cash... not cheque.. preferably in suitcase... yak yak yak...
* Reaching the A*C*RP main shopping level *
Me : OK, where?
TC : Dunno.
Padme : * looking at Poh Kong Jewellery and smiling gleefully *
Kerry : Hehehehe... anything lar
LF : * look elsewhere *
COM : * still on his business deal *
* Reaching the bottom *
Me : OK, there is mamak, Kapitan chicken, mamak, uncle chillies, Giant restaurant, subway, and rak tahi.. i mean rak thai...
TC : Dunno.
Padme : * yak yak with Kerry *
Kerry : * yak yak with Padme *
LF : * look elsewhere *
COM : eh william, need to meet a business partner... you guys go ahead...
Me : ok.
* Reaching the mamak *
Me : * sigh... I just sat down on the mamak's table *
TC, Kerry, Padme, LF: * all sat down *
* at the mamak *
Indian brother : Minum?
Me : 5 gelas air suam.
Indian brother : Ok, makan?
Me : 1 nasi goreng biasa
TC : 1 nasi goreng biasa
Kerry : 1 nasi goreng sayur
Padme : 1 Mee goreng
LF : * Goes to the food stand to pick 1 fried fish, 1 tofu and white rice *
* Please repeat the above process and conversation from the beginning for one week, then one month, then one year and so forth *
Analysis:
Referring to the process above and to write this technical analysis, the restriction of food choices in one domain of a limited space will stricken the choice of human words and decision making. Given the time of one year and four months, the process of brainstorming for food will become redundant and the usual aspect of food selection will become a norm that for the specimen above will only follow what other specimen do in that particular space of time.
A*C*RP Mall need to expand or the specimen attending to its offer will have a shrinkage in vocabulary usage and lower level of brainstorming function which will affect the health of the specimen:
1. Lower vocabulary usage.
Given the fact that the working environment is very quiet, lunch time should be happier to compensate back the loss of vocabulary during working. Unfortunately, the limited number of food offer in A*C*RP Mall has further reduce vocabulary usage among the workers. Over the period, this may cripple the ability of the specimen to talk normally. To some specimen, it may be the reverse. Therefore, this type of specimen will likely to go crazy and play with their vocabulary.
2. Unable to perform decision making.
With much of the specimen working environment revolves around the email, many instruction given were according to email based instruction (EBI). In order to make the specimen more interactive, lunch hour should be the perfect hour to create interaction among themselves. However, A*C*RP Mall provides a limited food offer that has resulted many specimen unable to make a quick decision on which food to take. The mind has been numb by the fact of too little variety in food offering. Over the long period, it will be hazardous to the mouth muscle.
3. Repetitive Stress Injury.
Although this term is usually associated with computer usage injury but due to the repetitive activity of questioning and action for one week might injury to the specimen who repeatedly perform same the action. Take for example specimen name TC, the specimen has repeatedly answer "dunno" in every question put forth by specimen William. Though by repetitive answer Dunno may not result a lot of vein damage but the heavier damage will be more on the specimen who ask that question. It is noted that a quantity of water from the mouth organ was loss. Apart from that, the energy being wasted to emit the vocal sound so that it is well receive by other specimen. Over the long period of usage will result both specimen to suffer voice reduction syndrome.
Solution:
There is only one solution to prevent the above health hazard is to expand the food choice. By doing so, A*C*RP Mall will brighten up a lot of workers in that building. Moreover, the stress and injuries will reduce and more workers will be willing to stay in that building. It may be one factor to prolong one worker's tenure in the building.
Conclusion:
After one year and four months working here, the food offer need to re-adjust so that the satisfaction among the workers can be maintain at the happy level and at the same time reducing stress injuries.
This report has excluded the food's price and is not taken into consideration during the observation process. If the syndrome or health hazard continues to get worse in the future it shall be taken into analysis.

All the while I tot that my place has limited choice of food. Yours is worse than mine, man...
Mine was limited due to the price most of the time. My gaji tak cukup mah.
Come to think of it...there's one vegetarian stall near my area at d'sara heights...the auntie will look at you from top to toe and set the food price for you. This auntie really know how to make money...if you are wearing nice suit and all...the price...ahem...need I say more?
