I cant believe it was many. What does it have to do with college admin staff anyway? Also when there are so many thefts on campus , is it really an efficient use of the security services time to be hounding a company who is actually doing a service to the uni?!

They were handed back their cheque that they HAD paid, and told they were not allowed to distribute on campus any more. Again, thanks for all the comments, Peter Campbell Chris,

That is customer service! It is a bit much dropping of leftlets through windows etc... but that said, a ban which they simply cannot enforce is just daft.

In the end the situation was getting ridiculous and we were constantly receiving complaints from Porters / College Administrators and students who had their kitchens entered and menus dropped off (or through open windows, etc). We firstly ended our business dealings with Efes, and then the University imposed the ban when the leaflet drops continued. Hi,

The university should grow up. Also, putting [sic] at the end of each paragraph is a bit sad, but is put in to show that the grammar was spoken as it is written.
