I had gave him a check to pay for lunch. I would pay 2 or 3 month a head. He forgot to take the check to the office.
This exemplifies one of the many reasons I'm opposed to taxpayer provided lunches. The lunch counter life lessons for me in elementary school were responsibility and understanding the cost of living. I learned the importance of depositing that check on time, and I saw how much a simple meal cost my parents to provide for me.
