Man, what the fuck happened to LUNCH LADIES. Let them goddamn cook!
It's crazy. We had full kitchens in our elementary/middle school and high school. I can't remember them ever actually doing anything other than reheating precooked frozen food.
my experience was closer to the opposite, elementary was always reheated packaged stuff and after that the quality improved a bit. I think the real problem is it seems pretty random if it's good or not
Quality never improved, my comment was more intended to read "they had full kitchens they didn't use"
They all got contracted out to companies like Alsco.
Or God forbid Aramark
we didn't just contract the same companies to build schools and prisons, we contract the same people to provide lunch in them too
I mean my kids school still has them.
Sloppy Joe?
I made them extra schloppy for ya!
what? paying someone an actual salary for actual work instead of just microwaving lead to kids?
wont you think of the economy
In California they're actually quitting to work in fast food, because the minimum wage doesn't affect govt workers.
it'll be intresting to see how raising the minimum wage for fast food workers specifically impacts the low income job market. I suspect that fast food will have no trouble hiring and other low paying jobs will.
also it's fucking sad that teachers are quitting to work at fucking taco bell. real morale downer for both the students and teachers. I'm well into adulthood now but even back then I regret working hard at school. kids these days seem to be learning that in time. I just hope they put in the effort at self-education instead
If true LOfuckingL and I'm so not surprised.
I was listening to the radio yesterday about all the school boards now suing social media companies. It's great and I applaud it but let's get real, government is shirking their damn job if school boards are expected to reign in corporations.
We got this bad because of laissez faire attitudes around a free market and letting companies do what they damn well please.
Please. It’s not lead.
It’s salted lead.
Salted leaded plastic if we’re being precise.
Entitled kids, don't they already get enough lead in school from their peers‽
Back in my day we had leaded gas and paint and liked it!
We didn't need seatbelts either. Good Times
