Reply #20: I worked in a grocery store through high school & college

and we were given strict instructions to treat all customers with respect regardless of how they were paying for their purchase - food stamps or cash that's what paid the store's bills & our wages. The problem was that some jerk in line behind the person using food stamps would make ignorant comments which left us cashiers between customers. My method was usually to make sure I was faultlessly polite to the food stamp customer and as rude as I could be to the jerk when his turn came. (And 99% of the time when this happened the food stamp customer was female and the jerk was male.)
