SuperSpreader Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Did you have a lunch card? Brought your own lunch? Or did you pay? I had a lunch card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Almost always brought my lunch. Cafeteria food was generally nasty. Occasionally I'd get a burger and for some reason I liked the chicken nuggets back then. And my school would often have Pizza Hut or Pizza Inn brought in on Wednesdays so I'd eat that. I don't think I ever ate in the cafeteria once I got to high school. It was on a different part of the campus and once you made the trek to it, you hardly had time to eat and get back in time. I can't really remember how I paid for it. I'm thinking at some point the students had a card for their accounts and money was put on it maybe? Been too long.

TheLeon Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I had a card, used it pretty regularly through freshman year. Dad kept money on it. I think we silently agreed that it was just easier than extra grocery shopping and packing a lunch every day. And our cafeteria food wasn’t terrible. By sophomore year, we were allowed to leave for lunch, and I went out with friends almost every day. We ate so much fast food during those years, it kinda sickens me to think about it.

SuperSpreader Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Just now, kittykat said: What is a lunch card? in Canada kids bring their own food to school There are cards that people load money onto to remove cash. There are cards like mine that give 1 free meal per day cause you're poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 We had lunch cards, but not ones you put money on. You'd just get a bill at the end of the month in the mail. I usually took my lunch tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I graduated high school in 2005 and our school didn't have cards you could load up with money. Probably wasn't long after when they did get them. I bought and packed about 50/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 It was just your regular student ID card with a sticker on it I believe. I got free lunch cuz I was poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Bagged lunch - PB&J with an apple and carrots. This was my lunch for 99% of my school life. My mom didn’t care for variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I am actually trying to remember what I did in grade school. I went to private school and it was pretty regimented. There was no choice on food. Everyone went through the line and got the same 4 or 5 food items of that day(if I remember right, you couldn't even choose to not take something). What I am having trouble remembering is whether I paid, or it was "free" and included with the tuition. Thinking back, I think the food was "free", but at the end of the line you could choose whether or not to get a milk and you had to pay for that. Then in high school it was public and the exact opposite. It was essentially an open lunch counter. Pick from a bunch of different stuff and pay cash at the end. I liked it in high school because you didn't even have to go through the line if you didn't want. I don't think I ever bought a single bit of food from that cafeteria. What I hated about grade school was that I had to spend time going through the line, getting all the food, sit there with it all lunch long, and then just getting up and throwing it all away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the student didn’t have enough money to pay for his lunch, so she let him take the food, Kimball said. She whispered to him to tell his mother that he needed more money. The next day, the boy had money, but she was fired for “theft” that afternoon, Kimball said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
