The Lunch Lady stole my money
The Lunch Lady stole my money
Two sixty plus year old sisters working at different schools are accused of taking nearly $500,000 in lunch money from the cash registers at their respective schools. This seems to be a benefit the leaders of New Canaan, Connecticut did not authorize. They have been taking “their share” for 5 years and may have over done it. They were charged with theft and released from their jobs. Cash receipts tripled. Jailed or working this looks like their retirement program.
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: “Take only ONE. God is watching.” Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a pile of doughnuts. A child had written a note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”
Looking through the want ads last week, came across a cafeteria job that required a college degree or the equivalent. Finally, I thought my eight years of high school are paying off.
NEW TEACHER: Ugh! This coffee tastes like soap.
LUNCH LADY: That must be tea the coffee tastes like glue.
When asked “What’s the best thing they’ve ever had in your school cafeteria,” my son said. “A fire drill.”
