This school has the worst cafeteria workers, when I was in the cafeteria I got yelled at by a teacher. I was literally just trying to get a fruit and this girl yelled at me I felt embarrassed mad and everything this teacher has yelled at people like adults and made people cry before that is no way anyone should get treated.
