Middle School Students Short on Lunch Money Ordered to Throw Food in the Trash
« on: April 05, 2013, 03:57:27 pm »
Then were forced to write a 1000 word essay on the wonders of outsourcing. 

Quote
There is sufficient blame to go around after cafeteria workers at a middle school in Attleboro, Massachusetts reportedly ordered over two dozen students to throw their food away because they had a negative balance on their pre-paid lunch cards.

One Coehlo Middle School student was short five cents, but was still ordered to trash the food.

The school's principal, Andrew Boles, pointed fingers at Whitson's Culinary Group, the food vendor that provides Coelho and some 80 other schools in New England with cafeteria services.

Quote
Whitson's, for its part, is placing blame on rogue contract workers.

"Employees had taken it upon themselves to institute this change," spokeswoman Holly Von Seggern is quoted as saying. "It was not condoned or approved. We had absolutely no idea."

Quote
Furthermore, federal laws require that children be given at least "a cheese sandwich, a fruit and vegetable, and milk" if they can't pay, after which their parents are to be notified of the issue.

Two things:

1. The people who ordered those kids to do that are beyond irresponsible and stupid.

2. Motherfucking comic sans? Really?

The Comic Sans in denoting my sarcasm, they really didn't have to write an essay.

I'm not kidding when I say that if you use Comic Sans again, I'm tracking you down.

But I won't be stupid enough to bring a dog with me. You're scary when it comes to dogs.

That was meant to be sarcasm?  I thought you were just trying to piss Caerbannog off. :P  Granted, that was my immediate reaction before reading down, lol.

My middle and high school routinely let kids starve if they owed lunch money. Once I got in trouble for buying someone a lunch because she owed money.

Did you stare at them for a few minutes before punching them?
