    This is Culver’s. They’re a burger fast food joint located throughout the Midwest and have things called “Scoopy Night” where a percentage of the proceeds go toward a specific cause. Schools, dance groups, etc can partake and the kids who attend that school/dance group/etc help take orders and deliver food to tables. Not quite as dystopian as OP has made it seem.

      Honestly… the idea that they do this work, and the money goes to a school instead of them, makes it even worse to me?

        It’s a fundraiser likely for an after school program. It typically pays out a lot better than a car wash or brat fry. Typically the students run orders out to cars.

        And yeah, we probably should put more funding into schools for stuff like this instead of asking kids to fundraise.
