My kid is in a club at school, and they meet 4x a week for 4 hours. So all the parents chip in and stock a "snack cabinet" (granola bars, juice boxes, etc.) because teenagers are hungry goblins.
I went to fill the cabinet and noticed a padlock on it, apparently someone had been "stealing."
I admit, this triggered me.
I spoke to the coach and told him that perhaps he should talk to the kids and find out if one of them is food insecure instead of locking up some two dollar box of granola bars.
The look on his face, I could tell it kinda clicked, he didn't even think of that, just assumed it was some punk kid breaking rules.
People who grow up with wealth don't even realize that it changes the way they think. Luckily, he's a cool guy, and he was horrified that one of 'his kids' might be hungry at home. Sometimes it just takes one comment to open up someone's eyes to their privilege.

As I tell my own children: If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

@Cat_LeFey I’m regularly appalled at how much extra things we’re asked to pay for that all the kids are just expected to be able to afford to participate in a regular school day. When we have extra financial flexibility I tell the teacher we can help cover kids anonymously whom she thinks/knows don’t have the funds. And when there’s outside field trip lunches I always give my kids extra cash and tell them to make sure no one goes hungry.
@hopepunk @Cat_LeFey I did the same with my kids all through school, & as a teacher, I would pay for lunches if someone “left their money at home” or I knew they just didn’t have a lot of money whether field trips or not. I always kept granola bars, soup, crackers, peanut butter & crackers, cheesy mac bowls, pop tarts & stuff in a closet in my classroom. I would just go to Sams once in a while to stock up. My kids knew all they had to do was ask. I worry about my kids now.
