I went to a trade school for HS.
Inside we had an actual McDonalds to teach the kids food industry.
McDonald's Corporation has built a research and development kitchen at the Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical School in Lexington, Mass.; this is the first time a fast-food operation has been linked with a public high school. <p>The $300,000 campus outlet is part of a cooperative program…

At the time I got $2 a day for lunch, 1982-1983 time frame.
$2 got me two cheeseburgers and a small fries, plenty for lunch.
Problem was a six pack of beer was $3.00.
So in order to have enough money to split a 6 pack on Friday night as a sophomore I would need $1.50.
So on two of the five school days, for lunch, I would go to the bakery shop and buy 10 fresh,hot, white bread rolls at $0.10/each and save the dollar toward my half six pack purchase.
It’s where I learned sacrifice and home economics.
