Marcella, I understand an aspect of what you say, and I agree, but I do disagree on a very important concept: it IS my business. It is my money they are doing that with.

Like you, I am not going to watch what they lay on the counter.

However, if I find myself in an environment where a person I encounter talks about engaging in that kind of treatment of money (given to that person by people like you and me) I will darn sure take exception to it.

If I didn’t have anything involved, I would agree 100% with you.

But because of the fact my money is involved, we disagree.

Not too long ago, a young lady and man checked out in front of me. She was dressed in Miss Me jeans, had a designer handbag and a fresh french mani/pedi. She had her groceries separated...that was my first "clue". She bought several nice steaks, two turkeys and a large ham with her EBT/LoneStar card.

I almost asked her if she could run half of my groceries - that I'd brought coupons for most -- on her LoneStar card, since I was paying for hers!
