People can use EBT to buy LOBSTER. That really made (and makes me grit my teeth)

This is the first vanity I have ever posted on FR.
Today, while my wife and I were at the grocery, we got stuck behind an obvious Middle Eastern "immigrant."
He ran up a bill of over $400 in baby formula, cheese, and all sorts of other things. I could see the items being rung up as he was doing this. And then I watched him produce one WIC voucher after another to pay for all of this, and I watched the cashier zero out one item after another. This process took more than 20 minutes, and held up everyone else in line. He even started sending the checkout people to the back of the store to get more stuff for him so he could use up all the WIC vouchers. At the end everything had been zeroed out except for $9.73. Then he whips out his VISA card and pays for that on his credit card.
Why do we tolerate this? We just paid for all of this stuff for this guy, who obviously was not hurting for money. So does he re-sell it or what does he do?
The obvious answer is “Democrats.”
The second most obvious answer is “Republicans.”
Have seen it time and time again. Did he drive away in his caddy too?
I was once behind two Hispanic women, a youngish one with a well behaved young boy about 4 or 5, and an older one who was likely a relative. They had two shopping carts filled to the brim. She paid with a food stamp card, and when that wasn’t quite enough to cover it, she whipped out her American Express card to finish the transaction.
Beat me to the obvious answer
Did he drive away in his caddy too?
I didn’t see that. But I have seen Micronesians play the same game and then drive away in their SUVs. (They get free lifetime medical care too.)
This is so abusive, I don’t know why the citizens of this country aren’t in total revolt.
Usually a blacked-out Escalade w/ 24” tires spinner wheels. I see it here in York (PA), too.
Really? Think about it!
“Why do we tolerate this?”
Why did you? That’s why.
Great rant and thanks for spiking my blood pressure. What a country.
That story is “average” here in L.A. There were times when this clown paid for beer at Rite Aid using his welfare card, another asshole paid for his and chips, even bragging to his friend to “add more” and drove a MB.
Another time (THIS YEAR) I was NOT in a good mood and this twit held up the line, asking the cashier to call up the welfare office her card was not working. Looking at her head to toe, I’m 100% sure she was not hurting for money.
I told her “Ok, for the rest of us who actually work for a living and paid our way thru life, why dont you just stand aside so the rest of us can actually PAY for our stuff?”
She gave me the stare but I didn give a sh*t..
Obvious answer, troll fishing for racist comments
Excellent answer. It’s the same thing with THE TSA.
Alas we lose our freedoms in increments calculated to make us tend to forget as the years and generations pass.
Is SOP. Our elected reward those that break into our nation and reward doubly those that will someday probably try to kill US
Clancy Fell Down Drunk in a Ditch, a young Viking sang, a song my Irish born ancestors would’ve known, but it’s off the grid today. Irish Need Not Apply was just, just as criticisms of tribalist, nepotistic, honor bound and manual labor disdaining Muslims are valid, just as American hating progressives see in open immigration, an excellent chance to bring down the established middle class, including my Lace Curtain Irish forbears, and the U.S. Chamber and Business Roundtable see an excellent pretext for lowering wages using their Madison Ave. opinion formators and their ivory tower college brainwasher colleagues to make this truly, Obama’s Nomoremerika.

I knew a guy who would get in their faces and say, “Oh, by the way, you’re welcome for my hard earned tax dollars being used to pay for all of your crap.”
I argue with a 30 something at work who insists that immigrants get no public assistance.
Muslims in US request food stamps even while they have enough money to purchase because they hide their bank accounts information to be eligible for these stamps...further it is not ‘haram’ because they aren’t taking money from an Islamic country!
Two brothers f who defrauded food stamp programs at a Portland market they ran were sentenced to prison and ordered to pay $1.4 million in restitution.
