Long Lines for School Lunch
November 10, 2021
A lot of West students buy lunch every day. Why?
West has a line of about 35-60 students each day just to buy lunch. Sometimes West even runs out of the main food that they are selling that day.
“The students get confused why were sometimes out of sauces like barbeque and syrup. The reason we’re out of condiments is that stock is low in Van Eerden,” says Mrs. Becky, the cafeteria worker (Van Eerden is the place where West Middle School buys lunches).
Currently, the lunch at West Middle School is free because of Covid-19 and some people may not be able to afford lunches. “The school doesn’t know if the lunches are going to be free next year or not. We will most likely hear towards the end of the year or in the summer,” Mrs. Becky, the cafeteria worker said.
Most students think that the food is overall pretty good. Some students that don’t get to the line quickly have only have 10 minutes to eat because they are spending 10 minutes in the line. Once the main course was so popular the last person to get their food only have 2 minutes to eat. Luckily, those students were allowed to eat during recess so they didn’t have to rush.
If you’re waiting in line just be patient because the cafeteria workers are working their hardest.

Wonderful article! I liked how much effort you put into this. And it’s good to put evidence on where the place they get their condiments at. Overall, I agree with this article you have here! Good job!

Great way to show the process of the workers that make our everyday food!

I have to wait in the lunch line all the time and it’s so long! There is almost no space in the cafeteria to eat once you get your food too. They need to open up the 2nd lunch line so kids can get what they want and have enough time to eat!

2nd lunch line*

They can’t because they don’t have enough cafeteria workers to open up a second line. On some days if some of the workers cannot make it to school they have one person trying to get food for 50 kids. If you took that with 3 lunch workers struggling to do one line a second line would be even more of a problem.
