Getting food at TCS has changed since the school introduced Face ID in the cafeteria. Before Face ID, students had to use fichos to get their food. They needed to remember to bring them and keep them safe. Now, students can use their face to identify themselves, making the process faster and simpler.

Nicolas Gomez Lince, a TCS eleventh grader who used fichos before Face ID, remembers how the old system worked. “We had to keep track of them and bring them when we wanted to get food.” Forgetting or losing a ficho could make getting food more difficult for students.

Face ID changed this process by removing the need to carry a physical ficho. Students can now identify themselves with their face when they get food. For Nicolas, this is one of the main benefits of the new system. “For me, Face ID is easier because I don’t have to remember to bring a ficho with me.”

The new system can also help during busy lunch periods. When many students are trying to get food at the same time, saving even a small amount of time can help the line move faster. Nicolas explained, “It saves time and makes the process more convenient, especially when there are a lot of students trying to get food at the same time.”

The change has also affected the way the cafeteria works. Angie, a Serviexpress worker who manages the fichos, has seen the new system being used by students and has noticed that the process is different from before. “After Face ID started, the process became faster and easier because students did not have to do everything manually.”

Although many students use Face ID, it is not used by everyone. Some students may still need another way to check in when the system does not recognize them. Angie said, “I think most students use Face ID, but not everyone may use it.”

The system also had a learning period when it was first introduced. Students were not used to using their faces to check in, so the first days were different from what they knew before. Angie explained, “On the first day, it was a little confusing because students were learning how to use it. After some time, it became easier and more normal.”

Face ID is now part of the normal cafeteria routine at TCS. The change from fichos to Face ID has removed the need to carry something physical and has made the process easier for many students. However, the change also shows that new technology can take time to become normal. What started as a new and confusing system is now a regular part of getting food at school.
