Many years ago, I was in line to check out at Walmart. I was single, had a good job, but making house payments & on a strict budget. 4th of July weekend was coming up. I considered getting some steaks to celebrate, but decided to do hot dogs instead.
In the line ahead of me was a couple with 2 loaded-to-the-top grocery carts. Back in those days, you had pagers - they had them. They were both dripping in gold chains (looked real to me). As they unloaded their carts, they had several packages of steaks, crab legs, beer & all sorts of high end items, including a bag of the most expensive dog food you could buy at the time. When it was time to settle up, they whipped out the food stamps. I never saw money exchange hands or a credit card/check book brought out. I don’t know if the cashier accepted the food stamps for all of the items or not. What I do know is that based on appearances, these folks did not need food stamps; then again, maybe they were dirt poor & dressed up to go shopping./s I was extremely P.O.’d standing there with my package of hot dogs & the thought that they were loading up on my tax dollars. As I walked to my car, I spotted them in the parking lot, loading their grocery haul into a Mercedes.🤬
