My Time at Walmart: Why We Need Serious Welfare Reform
TheCollegeConservative ^ | 12/13/2011 | Christine Rouselle

During the 2010 and 2011 summers, I was a cashier at Wal-Mart #1788 in Scarborough, Maine. I spent hours upon hours toiling away at a register, scanning, bagging, and dealing with questionable clientele. These were all expected parts of the job, and I was okay with it. What I didn’t expect to be part of my job at Wal-Mart was to witness massive amounts of welfare fraud and abuse.

Child support money from a parent or from the state?

Honestly, I’m not 100% sure. Cases like “foster Parents” use EDT cards....

No one has to contribute to charities now, do they?

If you count food stamps as charity then, yes, we have to contribute.

The solution won’t be implemented because it is insensitive, cruel, uncaring, and CONSERVATIVE.

Nevertheless, we really aren’t going to have to worry about a solution for very much longer. This country simply cannot sustain half of its able-bodied adults sitting on their goddam asses and sponging off the rest of the real Americans - net taxpayers. This sh!tball largesse system is headed for a collapse certain. It is only a matter of time, ever-shortening time.

In my 6 years where I live now and shopping at Walmart, there has NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER been someone who I’d consider a suitable parent, let alone Foster-parent using an EBT card there. THEY WERE ALL LOSERS.

It would certainly appear that way. Odd that when someone stirs the pot for things we agree on, it’s ok. I guess pot stirring is relative.

I paid over $50K last year in Federal Income Tax... I DO NOT DO “CHARITY” ANY MORE.

I think that's exactly what they have in mind. Kill as many private charities as possible.

I work in a grocery store currently and see this happen every day. Often time they load their expensive items into a high end newer car such as M3’s, 5 series, assorted Lexus sedans and SUV’s, Audi’s, and my personal favorite the Escalade with expensive aftermarket rims, tires and stereo.
