The other day here in West Allis (just west of Milwaukee), I encountered the strangest thing at the local Walmart.
A couple in the checkstand across from me had 2 massively overfilled shopping carts and were shifting items from the front one to the back one. I heard the lady start to say “well, I can sell that” and the guy saying things like “you ain’t going to sell that one you gonna eat it.”
I realized they were keeping a running tally and based on what I heard, they had a $100 limit. Then I saw them pay with a Gummint EBT card and it all fell into place: They were buying stuff and then selling them for cash money to their friends and neighbors. The thing was they were so brazen about it and made no attempt to hide what they were up to.
Yes, they were holder’s people but it gets stranger still. In front of me was an older white woman and she had 5 cartons of butter in 3 different brands, 4 bottles of vegetable oil, again multiple brands, and the like, but no sign of any stuff you would cook with — then I saw HER pay with an EBT and realized SHE was also buying to resell.
The war on poverty, indeed...
