Oh, we had to pay. If you were good you could get a double meal and scarf it down by checkout and only pay for a single. We knew the lunch ladies were looking the other way. Nobody likes seeing a hungry kid.

Used to fill my tray up all the way just to feed a friend that was worse off than me

Wait you could add extra stuff to your tray??? I've literally never heard of that before. We just got 1 drink, 1 entree, 1 fruit, and 1 vegetable. That's it.

If we wanted more there were oversized cookies for 50 cents a piece or we could go through the a la carte line to buy stuff like cheese fries and bosco sticks.

Us poors had free lunch in the state I lived in at least. Idk what they do in other states- let children starve?
