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. Students who work at the Gizmo are said to be 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.

Gizmo Staff
The permanent staff of the Gizmo are Pinky, Linda, Laurie, Rose, and Irma. Former staff include Jodi, Sue and Pam.
Gizmo and the Environment
The Gizmo uses cups and plates that are not recyclable in Galesburg, but they do offer refills to students who use reusable mugs.
Trivia
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. The cash register touchscreen has not kept up with these innovations, so they make life difficult for the cashiers.
Gizmo employees know you're a prospie if you take a tray from the rack next to the cash register.
The most disgusting thing at the Gizmo is the pickle vat, a five-gallon bucket (like the ones for paint) full of pickles and vinegar. The second most disgusting thing is the bag of nacho cheese in the cheese dispenser, especially when it's hot. The third most disgusting thing is the coffee.
