A Cart? Really?
This cart may look nice and innocent, but it's been terrorizing students for years.
I know you’ve seen it. You’ve probably even been chased around campus by it. This cart is defined by it’s canopy overhead, mysterious silver lock box at the back, crate on the back bed, and room for no more than 3 people (tops) in the front seat. Yet with its extensive passenger and cargo capacity, I’ve only ever seen one person driving it. The cart’s range is expansive, as it’s been spotted all over campus. The question must be asked: what does it do? The unfortunate answer? I have no f-ing clue.
So someone drives it around campus going from building to building doing something. Mr. Driver, do you really feel the need to tail me with your cart when I’m walking around campus? Would it kill you to not drive around during peak pedestrian times? I hate that I feel like I should walk faster or get out of the way when you try to drive by. This added pressure is just unnecessary, irrational, and annoying. It bothers me even more that I let it get to me so much.
What’s worse than being run down by this campus monster? Trying to pass it on the footbridge, as it slows down to match the pedestrian speed, which is just a bit faster than molasses. I’m late for class and this big tank is slowing me down. It couldn’t possibly be because there is someone on the other side who is refusing to get out of the way, could it?
And why is there only one guy that drives it? Does it require some kind of special license? What does driver-man keep in the back of the cart in that shiny lock box anyway? Candy for the local children? A sandwich for his lunch break? Is is a portal to another world? If anyone knows anything about this cart (or the fantastic individual who drives it) let us know!

Sodexho cart carrying food from Commons (or other places) around campus?
I’ve also seen other carts (without the lockbox, I believe) transporting important-looking people around, possibly financial contributors to the ‘tute.
E&SS uses some for maintenance. Sodexo only has one that I know of, and some VIPs do get rides. That cart is driven by a Sodexo guy, and I’ve only seen him go to The Beanery
so dont get out of the way. Walk slower…civil disobedience!
I do believe that is the Sodexo cart, due to the storage box on it. The ones you see around commonly are E&SS carts, which are actually quite fun to ride in!
it is a sodexo cart, he drives around to the cafe’s on campus so thats why we see the “cartman” everywhere, i think there more then just one person that drives it too.. the guy that drives it in the afternoon seems to be pretty cool.. all i know about this guy is that he a army guy and has a MD in sports medince. thats all my reasources told me..
