A cafeteria worker in New Hampshire was fired for giving $8 worth of food to a student who had no money in his account.
Lunchroom employee Bonnie Kimball said the student paid her the next morning and that afternoon she was fired.
The district manager said ‘that was theft’ because the child left the kitchen without paying for it.”
Kimball worked at Mascoma Valley Regional High School in Canaan but was employed by Cafe Services.
Some of Kimball’s co-workers quit in protest after Kimball was fired, according to the Valley News.
