When Connie argues with her mother (Mary Kay Place) and refuses to help with the dishes or paint the house, she is nothing less than despicable...
...only give Oxfam the portion of the food bill that actually goes toward the cost of food. Dining hall employees would still have to be paid even if every student on campus were to donate their dinners to Oxfam.
