The Gizmo is Knox College's principal manufacturing plant for breakfast bagels and other sundry food items. It employs a host of 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, however, students who work at the Gizmo are some of the most congenial, funniest and attractive students at Knox College.
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.
The Gizmo is attached to Seymour Union, with entrances from Seymour and outside. It adjoins the Gizmo Patio, which was once an ice rink, and is now a good place for listening to Cat Power.
