ROME, Georgia (AP) -- It takes more than a lunch lady to run today's public school cafeterias. It takes a logistics expert.

Take Rome's West End Elementary, where two classrooms of students charge into the lunchroom every five minutes, load their trays up with corn dogs, steak nuggets and fresh fruit and pile into cashier Lydia Galego's line.

Galego, though, has a new tool to help handle the rush. Each student stops at a computer in front of Galego and presses an index finger up to a reader before trotting off to a table.

The student's names flash across Galego's monitor, and each of their prepaid accounts are automatically debited $1.10.
