I'm cranky. I just got a phone call from the school food service saying that Cordelia has a negative balance on her lunch account. I just last Friday took in a $40 check. That's good for sixteen lunches. I personally handed it to the school secretary, so if it went astray, it was after that. I'm going to have to go in to the school tomorrow morning and raise hell.

I'm trying to be understanding. I know they have a new cafeteria worker because the usual one broke her leg (or something like that), but seriously? Losing a $40 check is not on. It makes me wonder if my PTO plant sale money got to where it was supposed to go. I turned that in at the same time. I will be beyond cranky if that got 'lost' too.

How did locating the check go?

Ditto to the above... inquiring minds and all. :)

Apparently all the lunch money from last week got put in the safe because the usual cafeteria worker wasn't there. I guess they didn't trust the substitute to log it properly. The secretary gave me the impression that there was some sort of difficulty in getting the money back out of the safe. She said she'd try to get it out.

She did tell me, when I went to sign out after helping in the library, that she'd delivered all of it. So there's that.

Of course, I paid a second time because Cordelia wouldn't get a lunch today if the money wasn't delivered. This means we should be paid up past the end of the year. I don't know if the money carries over until next year, is given back to us, or simply disappears.

Sigh. Bureaucracy at work.

They should give you a refund or a credit on that... they have to make their books balance, so I would assume refund would be in order. I don't know if a credit would be possible with their accounting system.
