Still when you walked into the cafeteria, you checked out what the house special of the day was, red beans and rice or white beans and rice. Then you had to hunt a person with a punch left on their ticket and convince them to loan it to you. You stood in line awhile trying to look very small and hungry so the ladies would heap the food on your plate.
