    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.

      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.
