Below convo made me realize: I'm not sure that I ever went into the cafeteria at my high school. Seriously, ever. - MDH Sep 7, 13:35 27
- Closed campus but I was the photographer for the annual, could come go as I pleased, went to pancake house for lunch -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 14:37
- I got detention once in high school for dancing on the lunch tables. - psilotum Sep 7, 14:20
- We ate outside the band room - Strongbad Sep 7, 14:15
- Same but I still had the occasional lunch in our cafeteria area - JD Sep 7, 14:14
- I never had a school with a cafeteria. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 14:07 2
  - Well that's because you just went out back and slaughtered your lunch. -- nm - spamlet Sep 7, 14:14 1
    - We did have a visit once from a guy who brought in a bear he shot. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 14:15
- I usually ate my lunch in the library while working on the TRS-80 computer. - ReluctantCynic Sep 7, 13:55 4
  - Interesting. Yeah, I think you and I are in the minority where we ate AT the school, just not in the lunchroom. Weird. -- nm - MDH Sep 7, 14:05 1
    - 'Tis interesting. We had options nearby (Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, and a Chinese place), but I had to earn my own money to eat there. - ReluctantCynic Sep 7, 14:09
  - We had a TRS-80 at home. :) -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 7, 14:05 1
    - I loved the TRS-80. I wish I could find a new one to buy. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 7, 14:09
- I had to catch a wild boar and skin it and cook it iF I wanted to eat lunch. -- nm - piggy Sep 7, 13:48
- I'm not sure I've ever attended a school with a cafeteria or student lunchroom. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 7, 13:43 1
  - Oh, apparently my college has a cafeteria, but I have no memory of this place. It may have been added later. -- nm* - Beryllium Sep 7, 13:48
- cost a buck for a cheeseburger and fries, or a slice of pizza. Ate there everyday -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 13:42
- We didn't have a choice. Small town so "open campus" wouldn't have helped anyway. -- nm - spamlet Sep 7, 13:42 2
  - And my high school was in the middle of nowhere centrally located between the three small towns it served, so doubly pointless. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 7, 13:46 1
    - When they built the new high school they moved it from in town to the middle of nowhere so now they have to transport literally everyone. -- (edited) - spamlet Sep 7, 14:09
- I went out to lunch most of my four years. I had a pizzeria, deli, burger spot, etc. If it rained or it was really cold I had lunch in the cafeteria. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 13:39
- Reading this: that must have been so much extra cleaning, I wonder why they allowed it? -- nm - MDH Sep 7, 13:39
- We were allowed to leave campus. We had an hour. I had Burger King basically every day my senior year. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 7, 13:37 5
  - We had DQ, but then they closed the campus my senior year when they expanded from three years to four. - znufrii Sep 7, 13:47
  - How close was your school to restaurants? NYC fascinates me with stuff like this. -- nm - The Allfather Imperator Sep 7, 13:42 1
    - Not super close. Couple of miles. This was Centerville, OH not NY. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 7, 14:29
  - We were as well. Lots of stuff basically across the street from my high school... - Dark Callisto Sep 7, 13:39
  - Senior year we could go to the shopping center across the street, but only there. They had McDonald's, Wendy's, and a taco place. -- nm - MDH Sep 7, 13:38
So, to (hopefully) close out about today... - Marlowe Sep 7, 13:35 2
- Glad it wasn't bad and hopefully you stay safe through the election. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 14:45

- talk to other parents. maybe the school is not giving enough food and other kids are also doing double lunches. this could be a big problem -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 7, 13:30 3
  - I work there and I occasionally buy a lunch myself. The portions are just fine. -- nm - kelly Sep 7, 13:39 1
    - good. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 7, 14:07
  - a conspiracy to sell more food they can charge for, and also make money on shorting kids normal portions. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 7, 13:37
- We had great school lunches. Those ladies could cook. Chili and cinnamon rolls day was cause for celebration. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 7, 13:28
- Speaking of lunches, we just went through the menu for A, and basically the only thing we can be sure she’ll eat is the pizza on Wednesday. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 7, 13:28
