− | The Gizmo | + | The Gizmo is [[Knox College]]'s principal manufacturing plant for [[Breakfast Bagel|breakfast bagels]] and other sundry [[Food|food]] items. It employs a host of [[Work-Study|work-study]] workers, whom are generally recognized to be at the top of the [[Dining Services]] [[work-study]] prestige chain. It isn't that great of a chain to be on. Students who work at the Gizmo are said to be some of the most congenial, funniest and attractive students at [[Knox College]], but this is debatable, as most of the Gizmo's patrons are [[drunk]]. |
Gizmo workers who have mastered their job (attained Level 10 Giz-fu) will tell you that there is a subtle and delicate art to their profession. Outsiders will scoff, but they will know in their hearts it is true when someone without Giz-fu completely bungles their sub or [[pizza bagel]]. True Gizmo workers also know that when someone orders a smoothie with both flavors, it is proper to layer the flavors multiple times. | Gizmo workers who have mastered their job (attained Level 10 Giz-fu) will tell you that there is a subtle and delicate art to their profession.

The Gizmo accepts a number of common special orders that together constitute a sort of secret menu. The most common of these in recent years has been the Breakfast Croissant.
