The Hassayampa CLAS building also is
home to the P.O.D market. The P.O.D market is a convenience store. It sells dry goods, frozen foods, meal
exchange plans, “home” essentials like trash bags, air fresher, safety pins,
medicines, pencil and more. According to
Sun Devil Dinning the purpose of the market “was to develop a highly-customized
solution that delivers quality, convenience, variety and value and met the
specific needs of the campus community” ("ASU News [University]"). The market’s goal also “meets the demand of
students looking for fresh, healthy and quick dining options” ("ASU News
[University]"). The P.O.D market is
one of the prime locations where M&G dollars are used. M&G dollars
stands for Maroon and Gold dollars, in which can be used to buy food outside of
the dining hall or other essential items. However, M&G dollars is not the
only use of money that can be used in the market. Also available are meal
exchanges. A meal exchange happens after the dining hall closes. This is when
your student can go to the market and pick out a specific certain amount food
that will count a swap at the dining hall. The P.O.D market is also home of
subway. The market is underneath the CLAS building; however, it faces toward
the direction of Barrett, the honors college and the courtyard. This creates a
community between the different residence halls because it easily accessible
and many students use it so it a great place for interaction especially at
night. The employees within the P.O.D are not very talkative because since they
are dealing with so many college kids in a small area, they work to get people
in and out of the store. The hours of
the market are from “Mondays through Thursdays
from 7 a.m.-1 a.m., Fridays are from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., and Saturdays and Sunday
hours are from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m.” ("Arizona State University: Sun
Devil Dining ").
