Cafeteria Style
by PamFord Davis It's been quite a while since I have eaten in a cafeteria. Of course, my first cafeteria encounters were in elementary school and they were only on Fridays, because Dad got his weekly salary the night before. As I recall, there were no 'free' school lunches back in my day. There is a Piccadilly Cafeteria in nearby Monroe; maybe it is time to file through the line. The variety from which to choose is the advantage of cafeteria dining. The customer heaps selections on their tray and pays at the register, a nice idea. Let's see, I'll take the chicken-fried steak with white gravy, turnip greens, home fries and peach cobbler Cafeterias are fine when deciding to eat out. Cafeteria style Christianity is deadly.
