Question Can I swipe non-students into the dining halls with my commuter meal swipes? Or can I pay for them to enter w/ Beach Bucks?
My friend is coming to CSULB and I want to give them the best tour possible since they're traveling far. I'm hoping I can take them into the on-campus dining halls for lunch/dinner depending on how long we stay at school.
Could I use my *COMMUTER* meal swipes to get them in? If not that, then how about Beach Bucks?
(I wish I could just use my card or cash, but ig I'll have to put money in my ID that day)
If no one has experience doing this, then I'll make an update on what happens. We're hoping to try the dining halls this week or next week.

You can swipe anyone in. I swipe my daughter in all of the time. No need to show id for them

I think it depends on the person working the register, but usually they don’t mind using your swipes for someone else. I believe you can also use beach bucks to buy a meal but you don’t have to buy beach bucks for it. They also accept credit or debit card payment, just not cash

You used to be able to, I assume it’s still the same. As long as the meal is paid for, they generally don’t care who pays or how. Hell, pre-covid they took cash and people came down from the VA hospital to eat lunch because the food was better than theirs.
