This must be a geographical oddity – in Indiana this kind of behavior would be rewarded – as long as the person giving the free lunch would have kicked in $8 for the student. Regardless, they probably throw away more food at the end of the day than what she gave away. Duh.
There is a difference between giving someone free food than free booze, really disgusting that someone got fired because giving food to a kid or any person, I guarantee more is dumped every day for not being used. I don't have very much but I would not see someone go hungry, some of us know what that's like, you blessed if you haven't and next time you think life sucks just remember that.
When I was a teen working fast food they wouldn't let me eat anything. At the end of the day if any food was not bought they would make us throw it all away, they said it was so people would not make extra before the end of the day. We threw away so much food every day it was ridiculous.
Because the food service is farmed out to for-profit corporations. When I was little, our lunch was homemade delicious. Later it was more industrial, but it was made for us by our own lunch ladies, and they had discretion to give away food if necessary. It's dehumanizing to take away all power from employees and managers. Corporate control sucks.
Perino's makeup is ridiculous. Don't these billion-dollar networks have a makeup artist on hand to look at the personalities on camera before they go on the air, to catch this sort of thing?
I had to live on a cookie and water in my high school lunch, because my parents made too much money I didn't qualify for free or reduced lunch meanwhile all of the fat and muscle bastards had a huge plate. Nobody knows how kids have to suffer. But hey it must be better than Mexico. I bet the south Americans coming here get a free lunch.
Its stealing, if she wanted to be generous should have put her hand in her pocket and paid for it. It being paid the next day is bs, coz maybe it was only paid because of the firing/attention, would it have been paid otherwise? This is just emotive crap that i expect from the Left, not conservatives.
I will say $8 is pretty steep, that should be the real story
She can't give out free food. She could've pay for the students until the student pays her back. This seems to be a big deal because it was 1 meal. People would want her to be fired if there were more students.
$8 for a school lunch really! but then again we're talking about the same people setting prices in schools who couldn't turn a profit with a whorehouse.
So I am confused. A business says not to do something. It is their policy. So instead of following it we will sensationalize it and make it about feelings. She did a good thing but it wasn't what the company she agreed to work for wanted. Also why couldn't we wait to here the Employers side? Emotions thats why.
Shame on the school, not only for their actions against the lunch lady, but for charging 8 freaking bucks for the slop that comes out of a school cafeteria!!!
Having a caring heart is not a crime! The crime is why the lunches are so expensive. Why do children have to go without food, in the richest country in the world? So they can't afford it….. that means they should remain hungry? That's not right! And I'm a Conservative!!
Mom often volunteered at my school cafateria and paid for children's lunches who she saw day after day sitting without eating. This lady did what's RIGHT and told it's WRONG. Sounds all too familiar…
Why not make all lunches at school free? Oh thats right public schools getting defunded because DeVos is in favor of private schools that are pay to play. Giving free food out sounds like Socialism and we cant have that. MAGA!
So many sad and pathetic comments, that reveal unrelated petty personal grudges. Let's see if I can summarize them, in no particular order: Blaming Obama, Hillary, leftists, illegal immigrants, transgenders, Democrats, AOC, Omar, Satan, mainstream media, etc. My apologies if I left some out.
I work in a school. the food is wasted more, then it is eating, because what was not eating is thrown away at the end of the day, and there was a lot of food everyday was just throw away !
I’ve always had a problem with kids not getting to eat because they “don’t have the money” it’s not fair for the student to do with out because the parent didn’t send lunch money. I worked at a prison and watched inmates get free food everyday. I think the kids should get the free food and the inmates should have to pay for their own. I know there will be someone out there that will say “but they can’t work and have no way to pay for it.” To that I say, if the inmate can go to the commissary and buy $70+ worth of junk every month, they can pay for their food in the chow hall. In my son’s school, if you don’t have money you get 2 slices of bread a slice of cheese and a milk. I did some investigating and was told by lunch room professionals that they have to toss out food at the end of the day that would have easily fed the few students that didn’t have lunch money for that day. It’s not right. Feed the kids!
People are acting like this is a generous act. Why didn't she reach into her pocket and pay for the lunch if she's so good-hearted? Now someone will start up a GoFundMe page and she'll make a pile of money. Hmmm…
Will yeah giving free lunch to kids every day is stupid thats way they have there parents to feed them if you feed them all the time that means the parents are saving money and taking advantage of this im not saying its wrong but its not right either.but shouldn't did it in the first place
I really do not understand why most people think what this lady did was noble and commendable. What did she do that was so great? She gave away something that was not hers nor did she have the authority to do so. If she paid for the lunch and then gave it away, great. That would have deserved praise. Maybe even do a story showing her kindness. Everyone should always give to those less fortunate. But playing Robin Hood and taking something that was not hers and giving it away is nothing that deserves praise. While I do not think she should have been fired, she did deserve a reprimand and a change in position. But she definitely did not deserve any praise.
Now as far as the lunch costing $8, as a college student I can tell you $8 is barely enough to buy anything. Just a salad in my school is over $10.
Oh please ..no kid should go hungry in any school in USA…and that vendor obviously has fudged his documents to make her look like a thief….his pathetic attempt to hide his greedy bottom line!..
Amazing how people don't wait for the whole story. This is why people make such poor decisions and judgement.
No student is refused a lunch by policy. EVERY student gets a lunch, regardless if they can pay or not. However, ADDITIONAL ITEMS must be charged. She was not charging him for those ADDITIONAL ITEMS and not doing so for months. Kindness is ensuring that every student gets a meal. That is ensured by policy. Giving away extras is theft. That is why she was fired. Don't believe everything you hear on youtube and the news. Make sure you get the ENTIRE story first. Great job, Fox……only the other channels are fake news? Bleh…
Lies again from a trump supporter. As always trying to get national attention and follow my president's suit, TO SUE. WAAAAAHAAAHAHAAAAA. WTF "prolly" means?
It's 2019 and you still allow the media to whip you into a frenzy, playing on your emotions. She lied, there was a much sinister motive involved. People are stupid.

Employee should've asked principal what to do or the employees should have rules in place re these situations. Then it's all set.
Fox News not checking their facts? I FOR ONE AM SHOCKED.
free stuff is socialism. only the strog thrive
Somehow I suspect the student was a Caucasian.
There is so much missing from this story.
Why is this even a story?
I'll tell you why.
Because all the real news is focused on real issues.
The name "Obama" just had to make a show here didn't it?
I can't believe it! Being a nice person can get you fired! They have a Facebook page, give them hell!

So we can feed every illegal coming across the boarder but we cant make sure our own children born here get a meal in school???????
Wowwww! People are so f**** s*** to each other I can't take it anymore!
Is New Hampshire a Democrat state. Why is it $8 for lunch, that's nuts. Like I've been saying Democrats do not help you
Back in the 1960's they gave poor kids lunch, but then it cost $0.25. I didn't eat cafeteria food. I had 2 paper routes. I made about $35.00 a mo.
What in the LL Cool J. is going on here???????!!!!!! Hire her back now!
$8 really.
This must be a geographical oddity – in Indiana this kind of behavior would be rewarded – as long as the person giving the free lunch would have kicked in $8 for the student. Regardless, they probably throw away more food at the end of the day than what she gave away. Duh.
That's bull crap the fire her she was doing a good deed feed the hunger

God bless this woman I hope her community supports her to the fullest.
Free hand outs are evil socialism. That child should have just starved, obviously.
When I was a teen working fast food they wouldn't let me eat anything. At the end of the day if any food was not bought they would make us throw it all away, they said it was so people would not make extra before the end of the day. We threw away so much food every day it was ridiculous.
That's just crazy
no mention of the school name or the vendor name? $8 for a school lunch? i call bullchit on this one 🙂
8 dollar lunch?
She may do this often. She was helping, but could have paid for him.
Oh too bad it wasn't a black woman helping out a black student
She would of got a raise or commendation
Well, you have to get the money somewhere. Better teach kids they are not entitled to anything this early. Even food.
Because the food service is farmed out to for-profit corporations. When I was little, our lunch was homemade delicious. Later it was more industrial, but it was made for us by our own lunch ladies, and they had discretion to give away food if necessary. It's dehumanizing to take away all power from employees and managers. Corporate control sucks.
Seriously?! That sounds like BS. Oh, and 8 bucks for a school lunch, good grief. That's the real crime.
What do schools do with leftovers? It is throwing money away if the food is tossed. How did the school administration find out she did this?
Perino's makeup is ridiculous.
Don't these billion-dollar networks have a makeup artist on hand to look at the personalities on camera before they go on the air, to catch this sort of thing?
I had to live on a cookie and water in my high school lunch, because my parents made too much money I didn't qualify for free or reduced lunch meanwhile all of the fat and muscle bastards had a huge plate.

2 for $5 at Mcdonalds! $8 wtf!
Now that the schools have stopped deep frying tater tots (or anything else). They ain't worth eating.
Our school lunches were $2.75. Slice of pizza, milk or orange juice, and a scoop of fries. Really good.
Its stealing, if she wanted to be generous should have put her hand in her pocket and paid for it. It being paid the next day is bs, coz maybe it was only paid because of the firing/attention, would it have been paid otherwise? This is just emotive crap that i expect from the Left, not conservatives.
I will say $8 is pretty steep, that should be the real story
So it's OK to let a kid to go hungry
Ironic you people are freaking out about a teacher being fired for giving out a free meal but you are against handouts
I don’t think we should give free lunches but Jesus don’t fire someone over it bet they throw out more than 8bucks worth every day
She can't give out free food. She could've pay for the students until the student pays her back. This seems to be a big deal because it was 1 meal. People would want her to be fired if there were more students.
Terrible
$8 for a school lunch really! but then again we're talking about the same people setting prices in schools who couldn't turn a profit with a whorehouse.
Do you all like chowder?
Wait until democratic representatives file to give her the purple heart.
Fired for helping another human. Just wow.
8.00 wow it was 75 cent when I was in school. People in prison get free breakfast, lunch and dinner. Y not the kids to.
Wow she should be hired by a famous chef or celebrity! Someone famous should step in and hire her
I thought the Liberal mind believes in free stuff?
So I am confused. A business says not to do something. It is their policy. So instead of following it we will sensationalize it and make it about feelings. She did a good thing but it wasn't what the company she agreed to work for wanted. Also why couldn't we wait to here the Employers side? Emotions thats why.
School lunches were twenty five cents back in the good ole days!
Shame on the school, not only for their actions against the lunch lady, but for charging 8 freaking bucks for the slop that comes out of a school cafeteria!!!
She’s a menace! Who the farq gives little, poor, hungry children food?!? String her up.
Boycott New Hampshire.
Having a caring heart is not a crime! The crime is why the lunches are so expensive. Why do children have to go without food, in the richest country in the world? So they can't afford it….. that means they should remain hungry? That's not right! And I'm a Conservative!!
8 dollars for school lunch? That’s the real crime here.
The children of Fox News.
Up and coming idiots.
Because TANSTAAFL.
The student paid it back the next day. No harm, no foul. Why fire someone over such a trivial thing?
Mom often volunteered at my school cafateria and paid for children's lunches who she saw day after day sitting without eating. This lady did what's RIGHT and told it's WRONG. Sounds all too familiar…
But illegal immigrants can get free services. It was a one time thing- the kid paid it back. Sounds to me that the school is being run by democrats.
Why not make all lunches at school free? Oh thats right public schools getting defunded because DeVos is in favor of private schools that are pay to play. Giving free food out sounds like Socialism and we cant have that. MAGA!
SHE SHOULD GET PROMOTED!
I thought you Righties hated handouts. Let the poor and sick die if they cant afford it
$8 for SCHOOL LUNCH?!!!!
So many sad and pathetic comments, that reveal unrelated petty personal grudges. Let's see if I can summarize them, in no particular order: Blaming Obama, Hillary, leftists, illegal immigrants, transgenders, Democrats, AOC, Omar, Satan, mainstream media, etc. My apologies if I left some out.
How dare this woman !! 😡. 🙄
It's ok to rip off the students charging them $8, but wrong to give a needy student a free lunch.
Hurry up Jesus.
I work in a school. the food is wasted more, then it is eating, because what was not eating is thrown away at the end of the day, and there was a lot of food everyday was just throw away !
I don't see why people are so angry this is just capitalism, it's just business.
what an ahole the guy on the right
Do what?
To think that I was going to give Fox News the benefit of the doubt until I heard that Michelle Obama comment. Come on bro.
But snatching CHILDREN FROM THEIR MOTHER'S ARMS is what NORMAL? I'm shocked this even make STATE RUN MEDIA THE WHITES ONLY CHANNEL FOX NEWS
All school lunches should be free
Juan should be forced to eat a Michael Obama school lunch while we watch !
Blue states
Lucky for our area, it's free lunch for everyone.
The crime here is the $8 lunch!

Eight bucks for a school lunch? I could pack a lunch for a week and not spend that.
They can’t charge the meal to their account? 🙄 This school is a JOKE!
People are acting like this is a generous act. Why didn't she reach into her pocket and pay for the lunch if she's so good-hearted? Now someone will start up a GoFundMe page and she'll make a pile of money. Hmmm…
Eight dollars for a school lunch? I would definitely be bringing my lunch
Will yeah giving free lunch to kids every day is stupid thats way they have there parents to feed them if you feed them all the time that means the parents are saving money and taking advantage of this im not saying its wrong but its not right either.but shouldn't did it in the first place
Ok. Wait a minute. $8.00 for lunch? What's being served at that school? Beef Wellington and Lobster tail??
$8 is probably used to subsidize illegal alien jose's sanctuary lunch ,…………
Glad the thief got fired..
this is American kids.. their future.. and still they are making fun of the future… hahaha….. which is why china will win..
I really do not understand why most people think what this lady did was noble and commendable. What did she do that was so great?

They’re Toxic🤮
She is not dishonest and we should help her
She had every right to use her money to buy that lunch , but she had no right to steal from the school to give that kid free food !
Oh please ..no kid should go hungry in any school in USA…and that vendor obviously has fudged his documents to make her look like a thief….his pathetic attempt to hide his greedy bottom line!..
She shoud be fired.
I hope the lady gets to own the school
Leave it to Fox to take a story of compassion and make it a joke. No good deed goes unpunished.
If you don’t have kids, you don’t understand, this Lady have a big heart, Blessings to the Cafeteria Lady 🙏😊🌷
The Food Vendor SUCK !!!

The lunch lady I used to have gave me free lunch once. My family doesn’t do to well financially, but we didn’t qualify for free lunch.
