About a year ago, I was standing behind one in the express line, male, white, 30ish, able bodied . . . lots of nice deli foods and cuts from the meat counter. He also had a carton of smokes. The clerk wouldn't let him use his "Access" Card to pay for the smokes. Finally, he pulled out the cash to pay for the smokes. I had two items so was curious to see what kind of car he drove. Mine is 11 years old with 160,000 miles. His was shining new late model. I'm paying taxes. He's living off them. What is freaking wrong with this picture?
About 10 years ago my neighbor was in a checkout lane with a food stamps type in front of her. The clerk tells her that cat food is not allowed with stamps. She says, "Wait a minute." and then comes back with a package of pricey shrimp, which goes through. My neighbor was livid that that sponge's cat ate better than she did.
His was shining new late model. I'm paying taxes.
Back then, when we were naive, we volunteered at a food bank. A week later we quit after seeing people in Cadillacs pull up for freebies. We had heard of that but thought is was B/S. We tried again recently but again quit when all we saw were pregnant Hispanics, some with attitudes ("This all you got?") as the main clientele. Very few whites.
