Food Stamp story - Should I be Pissed?
Advertisements [?]
My wife and I were just at the grocery store. As we were checking out, there was a lady struggling to run her Food Stamp card through the debit reader. This held up the line a good bit, but no one complained. The cashier went way out of her way to help the lady out, but after that was settled, the customer complained that she should not have to bag her own groceries. The cashier then went and bagged the ladies groceries for her. All of this annoyed me. But when we checked out and went into the parking lot, I see the lady getting into her Lexus with a private school sticker on the back of her car. I am seriously ticked. Does this make me a closet Freeper??? I have family that NEEDED assistance in times of hardship, but they never stayed on it for more than a year. Never would it cross our minds to abuse the system, and yes, I consider this instance a clear case of abuse. Just wondering if I'm missing something or am I okay to be ticked a bit?
