It seems that Nussbaum will not be accepting your CUID as payment for breakfast this morning, so best go start looking for that 5-spot in your other jeans.
According to the nice people behind the counter, this was not an act of Flex-deserting a la everywhere else, but a simple case of a broken machine.
Unfortunately, no information is available on when (or *gasp* whether) the machine will be fixed.
Here’s to a quick recovery, Nussbaum Flex, and to daddy paying for that bagel.

@alsow why does CU feel the need to charge vendors using flex more than credit card companies charge? What kind of incentive is that?
@i wonder if this whole flex dilemma is scary to aj…at least hell have another thing to complain about
@Ridiculous Why does a simple transaction that takes ~3 seconds on a credit card take 30 or more on Flex? Why is it down for prolonged periods? If we want vendors to accept it, it should be ultra-reliable. Remember when HamDel took Flex? Now Westside is running away and the system is broken. Someone should be fired. Oh wait, this is Columbia – they’ll be promoted instead.
@the same vendor, Blackboard, runs NYU CampusCash. why aren’t there any problems down there?
@agreed Chipotle had the same deal yesterday afternoon. Off-campus Flex is a joke. Everyone, the buyer and seller and especially the people waiting in line, hate it. I understand that every new system will have its issues but Flex is actually getting worse with time.
@again this is CUIT’s fault. the system underlying flex needs to be changed. it’s completely outdated. dozens of other schools have much better systems
@.... it wasn’t working at milano yesterday either. not that i care, but just an addition to the story.
