Doubling up your fries at the Cafe

I am one of the few kids from Hanover High School who actually enjoys and chooses to eat at the cafe. I love their "Meal Combo" where I can get a sandwich (cold cuts or hot), two sides and a milk for $3.75. Though this still seams kind of expensive for a school's cafe, it is much cheeper than buying food at the popular Co-Op, and you also save a lot of money over buying the items individually (it could cost you up to $6.25) at the cafe. However, many kids hate the cafe, and think they don't deserve their money. So what they will do is take half of the french fries from another platter and put them in the platter they will buy, thus getting 1.5 times as many fries. Kids don't do this with fries, but also General Chao's, popcorn chicken, chicken nuggets and hot food items that come in a platter. The other day I really got angry. It was General Tsao's day in the cafe, and I was ready for getting some chicken from the cafe. There were to girls right in front of me, sophomores or juniors who I didn't know. They were very notable girls. However, right before I took my chicken, they took their chicken AND THEN THE GRABBED HALF THE CHICKEN IN THE OTHER PLATTER AND PUT IN THEIR OWN. Then I had to take the platter that was only half-full. What got me even more mad was that they were sharing the chicken but the cheap bastards were too cheap to buy two platters, instead they had to steal one, at the expense of myself. What got me even more mad is they were stealing chicken from me, an athlete who needs around 5,000 calories a day because of my high-level endurance training, where as these bastards probably only needed about 2,500 each (or less).

I regretted not going crazy when they took chicken from the platter I was about to buy. This would've accomplished several things, like teaching them a lesson, showing the cafe workers that some unethical cheapees steal from them, and most importantly I would have gotten my full share of chicken. I know I would probably have regretted going crazy if I had, but I still like to imagine the predicament those two junior/sophomore girls would have been in if caught guilty.
