What are the negative aspects of having a courtesy cart with food and drink

in a doctors office waiting room? I work in a doctor's office and ever since I've worked here we've had a ''courtesy cart'' that the patients go nuts over. it's filled with coffee, ice water, hot water, hot chocolate mix, hot tea mix, crackers and graham crackers.

Honestly, it's such a hassle and creates such a mess that its not even worth it, no one respects it or the waiting room and thats not going to change.

so i want to make a list to give to my manager of legit reasons why its a bad idea, other than the annoying mess. she is a big supporter so i need legit reasons..

regarding patient safety, sanitary issues.. anything that has a solid chance.


PLEASEEEE HELP !!

..i hate that cart.
So far these suggestions are so helpful, especially angelone and kathleen.


thank you all and please keep them coming, i really need solid ideas!

i appreciate this so much!!
