WATERBURY, Conn. - A Connecticut school cafeteria worker and a 13-year-old girl face criminal charges after police said a food fight turned into a real fight. Waterbury police said the fifth-grader at Gilmartin Elementary School threw vegetables at 55-year-old lunch aide Rosa Robles last Thursday, and Robles responded by throwing vegetables in the girl's face.
Police said a fight broke out when the girl punched Robles in the face. Authorities said both suffered cut lips, and the girl also had scratches on her face. School officials said Robles is on paid leave and the girl has been suspended.
Robles posted $500 bail after being charged with assault and other crimes. Police didn't release the girl's name or the charges she faces because of her age. A telephone listing for Robles could not immediately be found.
It must suck being a lunch lady. I've never aspired to have a job in the food service industry but at least waiters get some respect. Lunch ladies come in below bus boys in the world of food service employees. You have to dress like a goon, wear a hairnet and take crap from a bunch of snot nosed kids. And kids aren't respectful like I was back in my day. I was always respectful of the lunch ladies. I think even at that age I knew life had dealt these women a bad enough hand and I didn't need to pile on. But kids these days have no scruples. They'll throw french fries and fists at the unfortunate souls who serve them salisbury steak. I commend Ms. Robles for striking a blow for the least respected workers in the world.
I think I might have some anger issues too if I were a 13 year old 5th grader.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but its not the lunch lady's fault that the kid is stupid. Blame the woman who gave you birth. Not the one who gave you fishsticks.
