Pret scraps smoothies, leaving Exeter students nutrient deficient

WELLBEING concerns have arisen over a new policy announced by one of the University’s most frequented spots. Pret A Manger in the Forum, which was recently voted ‘Most Popular Place To Stand Outside On Campus’, stated in a press release that it would no longer be serving any smoothies in its shops across the country, leaving many Exeter students frightened, worried and angry.

Commenting on the coffee chain’s decision, Exeter student Newt Rhyent said that they had developed deep anxiety about how they were going to be able to make sure they got enough vitamins in their diet. They told Exeposé “it’s already hard enough to make sure I eat healthily, when so much of my day is taken up by waiting in line.”

Another student said that the decision came too soon after the cancellation of the subscription from the Forum Pret, which many students are still struggling to get over. Others expressed worry that the decision would leave many students with too much spare time on their hands, leading to the possibility that some might go to the library instead, making it harder to get a space for those actually working and not socialising.
