The rich white schools in my state have Starbucks and subways built inside of the school cafeteria lol. I’m sure they switch out the signs every few years when the contracts are no longer favorable. Pretty amazing that being wealthy gets you subpar barely-read fast food instead of something gourmand or from a local business. But when all your local businesses are boat shops, I guess it makes sense

Someone I know went to an extremely expensive private school. Think $40k+ a year for just tuition. Lunch was not included and he described it as "very expensive slop". He gave the example of $4 for an order of fries that was like 6 fries, and $6 for a tiny slice of shitty cheese pizza. This was a long time ago so I'm sure it's more expensive now.
I looked up the name of the food provider and apparently they were once accused of defrauding the UN so lol yeah, being rich sometimes does mean getting scammed for slop.
Hey so fuck McDonald's obviously, but, and I want to be reasonable here because I'm sure we both support workers, and public schools and hate corporations, but in this case the thing they have to do to compete with McDonald's is not pay starvation wages to their lowest paid workers right?
I don't think in a high cost of living state like California that 20/hour is an unreasonable ask, especially for a job that it's hard to pull a full 40 hours with.
Maybe I was raging too hard or something, I meant that it extra-sucks to see something as fundamentally important as public schools have to deal with market-competitive bullshit
Service workers getting paid better is great and I hope to see this leveraged into more wins
love too force fundamental and necessary services to compete or die
Its going to be so cool when we privatize the cafeterias and then decide the problem is kids are greedily demanding food that is too expensive.
I thought a lot of schools have already done that.
I've seen a lot of schools incorporate private businesses into and around the cafeteria. And, of course, vending machines are an absolute epidemic.
But I couldn't name ones that have straight up abolished cafeterias and turned them into a legit Wendy's.

Well fast food being necessary is debatable.
but schools are, which is why they shouldn't have to compete with fuckin mcdonalds

They aren't competing, they just arent paying their employees enough.
I agree. They should pay so much more it's not a competition.
Exactly
