re: A restaurant in Minneapolis called Safari seats 35 and claims to feed 18,000 kids a day

I don't think you realize what is necessary to prepare close to 20,000 meals per day.

We’re talking rice and beans here. And it’s for fricking skinnies. This isn’t some serious gourmet shite here and they ain’t eating much. Besides the fact that meals can be cooked at other locations.

This is completely over the top of my core argument which is that you can’t judge meal prep based simply on the seat count. 50 seats is minuscule for such a large building so they obviously had something going on there.

It wasn’t cooking 6000x3 per day because they’ve already been found guilty but that building had a lot more room

Teasing at the threads in this gnarly sweater, if we assume that they’re serving 6k meals per mealtime and charitably assuming each customer picks up an average of five meals, Safari would’ve been serving 10 customers/minute over a two hour period.

I saw someone make the argument about how do a bunch of immigrants set up government sponsored entities without help from locals?

It’s a democratic grift. They have an infrastructure to pull off this fraud and do it regularly.
