I'm not nosy enough to get close enough to look to see if someone is using a debit or EBT card. But I was in line behind this man and a woman who was obviously his mother one time, and he bought beer and paid with a $20, while his mom bought regular groceries and paid with food stamps. As if I wouldn't die of shame buying beer with cash right behind my mom paying for her groceries with food stamps.

You being a fellow TarHeel and all, you know as well as I do that many people who live in trailers are definitely not poor. We know that's no way to judge if someone is poor.

You can tell what kind of card someone uses from 10 feet away. How much distance do you put between yourself and the person in front of you at the grocery checkout? You afraid of cooties?

Here in Tennessee, people who live in house trailers get frequent flier miles during tornado season.
