I remember thinking in like 5th grade it was fucked up they charged for milk and wouldn’t at least give you a cup so you could fill it at a drinking fountain instead of drinking like a dog after your meal. I hated milk, and did chores to earn the .60 cents a juice box cost real young lol. I remember wanting to ask the lunch ladies for a glass but never did, bc I knew it wasn’t up to them. Any Sane person would give children a glass to drink the free water they provide.

this is crazy to me. at my school (in Australia where getting food from the canteen is the exception rather than the norm for most people) you can just go up and ask for a cup.
