Ight, imma go rioting again.

Cafeteria ladies were the saints of our school. They’d always call us dear, or hon and ask how our days are going. They said I was one of the few kids who ate their vegetables so they’d always give me extra. They even had a “cheat” day, they called it, for all the kids who regularly got the veggies from them once a month. They’d give us free cookies.

Public Schools should probably just be funded to give all kids free food.

My wife went nuclear on the school one day when my son got turned away from the lunch line.

My kids don't eat school lunch every day, they take a lunch, but occasionally will get a meal or just some milk.

They are supposed to email us if the account is low.

My son forgot his lunch, got school lunch, went to scan his card and the balance was too low.

They literally took the food from him. It was short like .25 cents. We had no emails.

My son is a super good kid and just went to his table and sat there. I think some other kid gave him some chips.

My wife heard about it that night. Holy shit.

Now, my wife is not a Karen. She is about the sweetest, nicest, most understanding person I have ever met.

She took him to school the next day and basically stormed into the principles office to chew his ass.

I got a vague account from my wife, even talking about it was pissing her off, but according to my son, about 8 at the time, the phrase "motherfucker" was used a few times at volume.

She also had apparently gotten a $100 in ones, wadded them up, and threw them at the principle to "cover any other kid's lunches in case their fucking computer system didn't fucking work again".

Lo and behold a few days later the school sends out an email apologizing for the malfunction and stating that they will allow school lunch accounts to have a negative balance for 5 days.

I do think it was little over the top, but on the other hand thinking about my son, who is such a good kid, just sitting at the table hungry with no lunch over a fucking quarter makes me so fucking mad I am glad I didn't go in there.
