We put $25 in her account and it always lasts about a month. She started middle school yesterday and wanted to buy her lunch on the first day. She came home and said lunch is expensive there. I asked how much and she said over 5 dollars. Then she told me she didn't like anything in the regular cafeteria line and bought from the chik-filet franchise IN THE CAFETERIA. She said there is a Ddomino Pizza franchise as well.
This really ticks me off. Junk food from two franchises, both of whom I boycott.
She took a lunch today, and we had a talk about why I boycott them.

(2,602 posts)I don't understand chik-filet and domino's pizza franchises in the cafeteria.
Was a total shock to me.

(2,602 posts)It completely identifies the poorer families and the kids on free lunch, I doubt chik-filet is available to those children.
