To report to school what my DD told me about this lunchtime supervisor?

Dd(8) told me that yesterday she saw a lunchtime supervisor take a fish finger off the tray at the serving hatch with her fingers and eat it. Dd said no other adults saw, she has seen this staff member do this before.
Would you email school and pass on what dd said?

A few bits of context -

  • I believe dd, she is not likely to have made this up
  • lunchtime supervisor has been working there about 30 years. She’s very harsh with the kids (based on what dd has told me) and anecdotally other parents have said even the staff are a bit scared of her!
  • school has an outbreak of norovirus last week so have been very hot on infection control, washing hands etc.

I know she probably didn’t touch anyone else’s food, but it’s not right is it? If nothing else it’s unprofessional and sets a bad example to the kids. But I don’t want to bother the school if it’s not really a big deal.

Would you report it or leave it?

Yabu = I should not report it
yanbu = I should email the school about it

Disappointed that the supervisor wasn't having sexy time in the stationery cupboard with the Head Teacher.

sexy time in the stationery cupboard

Best band name?

surely any sexy time involving a fish finger would be highly inappropriate!

DinosaursWouldEatYou · 14/09/2019 15:29

Sorry OP but I'd let it go, chefs eat far more behind kitchen doors.... cough-speakingfromexperience-cough 😉

MsJRMEsq · 14/09/2019 15:30

It's a fish finger, so what?

TheJellyBabyMadeMeDoIt · 14/09/2019 15:30

I'd not report. It's not as if it was a prawn vol-au-vent.

That would be worthy of a thread though Grin

Can't be arsed to read the whole thread, but the apple didn't fall far from the tree 😂

You cannot be for real?!

PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea · 14/09/2019 15:32

Have you decided to let her off the hook now?

Got it all except the fish fingers. Can I be arsed to walk to Asda or somewhere?
No I cannot

There's no plaice for some of these comments 🐟

@carsonforPM Its high tide some of these comments stopped, the net is closing in on them.

MsJRMEsq · 14/09/2019 15:35

It's certainly reeled a lot of people in.

colourlessgreenidea · 14/09/2019 15:36

So in a busy dinner hall, with lots of children and staff present she's the only one who noticed this...

And on more than one occasion. 🤔

PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea · 14/09/2019 15:36

I nearly pulled a muscle laughing.

LolaSmiles · 14/09/2019 15:37

I sea exactly what you mean. 🌅

carsonforPM · 14/09/2019 15:38

We need to scale back on the piss take

Pimmsypimms · 14/09/2019 15:38

YABU I am a midday supervisor and when all the kids have been served their dinners, we can have the leftovers. Otherwise it will be thrown in the bin. Surely it's better that the food is eaten than thrown away! You can eat a fish finger and not put your fingers in your mouth. You can then pick up a cloth, wipe your fingers and then wipe the tables. Seriously Hmm

carsonforPM · 14/09/2019 15:39

Omg - piss take rhymes with fish cake BlushGrin

sweetiepie1979 · 14/09/2019 15:41

I think this is a joke...... but just in case you really are serious
Please please get a grip don’t have your daughter be the kind of person who gets upset at these things and yes you are totally being unreasonable!
Hmm

PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea · 14/09/2019 15:42

She'll be stealing motor pikes next and prawning them. Thieves like this always start small scale but don't like the catch.

If there are any updates, will you let minnow?

carsonforPM · 14/09/2019 15:42

I bet the OP could krill the supervisor

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 14/09/2019 15:42

Quick, start practicing your 'sad face' while you're on hold to the Daily Fail...

You'd have a field day with me, OP, I ate a slice of leftover cake in the lunchroom yesterday. I didn't use a cake fork or a linen napkin or anything!!
