Things fast food places do that make you mad. Which one makes the most mistakes?

^^ Now it's starting to come back to me.

We had these mini envelopes that were a little larger than a credit card. You'd put your name on them and put an X over the day that you wanted lunch. Then you'd put your money inside. I forget who we'd give it to or how they'd keep track, though.

And we had a hot lunch and cold lunch, too. Although I can't remember what was offered in either one. It was tooooo long ago!

Yet more restaurants we don't have here...Ponderosa, Shoney's...

Do y'all have Old Country Buffet? I've never been there, but we have a few at some malls around here.

Oh, the OCB....That place makes me laugh. When one of my friends was teaching, she was talking to her class about her birthday dinner plans. One of her students looked straight at her and asked, "Oh! Is he taking you somewhere fancy like the Old Country Buffet?"

It has now become a trademark saying among our friends and we start rolling every time.

That's the way it was at my school too. I can't remember who it was we gave the money to though. But our cold lunch was the same as bringing your own lunch. Hot lunch is what the cafeteria gave us.

I only ate hot lunch one time. I only would get the milk tickets to get milk. One thing I do remember is my mom chewing out our school principal. My God she was SO mad. I was in 1st grade and it was the 1st, only and last time I ate hot lunch. I don't remember what it was on my plate but it looked gross so I wouldn't eat it. I went to a private school, so we had to wear uniforms, plaid skirts with a white shirt, burgundy ties and a dark blue or black sweater as I can remember. Anyway, It was a Catholic school, with Nuns and Christian brothers. One of them said "young lady you will not be allowed to go out for recess until you have finished your lunch". Well, me being me, I started crying, but at the same time being the stubborn, spoiled brat that I was I still wouldn't eat it. So, they called my mom and told her what happened. I guess they thought she was going to be o.k. with it. She was so mad, she actually showed up at my school, and she went straight to the cafeteria where I was sitting and crying. When I saw her I started boo hoo crying lol then at that point she was livid. She took me up to the principal's office and this is what she said to her. "You have some nerve denying my daughter her play time, when my husband and I pay full tuition for my daughter to go to school here. If she doesn't want to eat the food that "WE" pay for then she does not have to. If either one of us ever gets a call like this again, we will pull my daughter out of this school immediately! Is that understood!!?" She said some other stuff too. I remember that day vividly because I've never seen my mom that mad before. After that they were so nice to me. lol lol

I think if I'd been the principal, I would have said "let me save you the trouble."

Thanks, but already I saw my typo and corrected it.

And I'm sure you would have, but you weren't the principal.

Thankfully, no.

I am, however, a parent, and let's just say your mom had a reaction somewhat different from what mine would have been -- in a variety of ways -- and leave it at that.

My mom is just that way.
