This is as sad as it gets! There’s a 51-year-old woman in Alexandria, Virginia who works as a lunch lady at an elementary school.  And recently she was busted for stealing kids’ lunch money. Yep!  Now, she didn’t do it by shoving them against lockers or anything like that, like the typical grade-school bully, she was far more sophisticated. Kids today pay for lunch with electronic accounts, and she was in charge of adding money to them when the kids would bring in cash or a check. But she figured out a way to mess with the records so she could siphon out thousands of dollars over the past three years. She was finally caught last week, and she turned herself in on Friday on three counts of embezzlement. The good thing is the kids still got all their lunches, so I guess she isn’t so bad after all!
