In middle school we were given student IDs

At breakfast and lunch before we even collected food we had to punch in our student IDs into a keypad

If we owned the school or put in an invalid ID you weren't eating

I remember there being a mix-up with the paperwork for the free or reduced lunch program and I couldn't eat breakfast or lunch at school for two months

Without the free or reduced lunch vouchers, meals costed the student 5 dollars.
