Our first task is to wash our hands with warm water and soap- long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" twice. Then we put on our gloves and get the food ready, taking it out of the "hot hold" and putting it in the serving containers.
Charlie croons his unique rendition of "Happy Birthday" while Phillip checks for food in the hot-hold.
The middle-schoolers we serve usually come in around 12:10, and we spend the next 25 minutes serving them and waiting for some students to come back for seconds. We often eat during this time, sampling the dishes and getting several servings. When the kids are nearly finished, we begin cleanup.

During cleanup, Phillip and I work in the serving room while Charlie cleans up in the cafeteria. Phillip and I compost, save, or throw away excess food, put food containers and other dishes on a cart to take to the washroom, and wipe down the counters and serving area.

Charlie usually works alongside our bosses, Rob and Jacque, in the cafeteria. Charlie sweeps the floors in the cafeteria, wipes down the tables, brings in the dirty trays and silverware, and collects the compost bins.

After we've finished our work, we sign out in the office. This will help our hours be tallied up, and determine how much we make.
