This part really irks me:
“Once, a girl at the register actually stood up for me when an older mother of three saw the coupons and started chastising my purchase of root beer. They were “buy two, get one free” at a dollar a pop.
“Surely, you don’t need those,” she said. “WIC pays for juice for you people.”
The girl, who couldn’t have been more than 19, flashed her eyes up to my face and saw my grimace as I white-knuckled the counter in front of me, preparing my cold shoulder.
“Who are you, the soda police?” she asked loudly. “Anyone bother you about the pound of candy you’re buying?””
No, of course nobody bothers people about junk food they are buying with their own money! When you beg money from the rest of us, though, you had better be spending it on what you really need, and not luxuries. If you can afford to buy the luxuries, then you don’t need my money to do it.
I hope they remember the Vanilla ice cream!!!
I loves muh rootbeer floats
