I know... and I know that many others have seen this sort of thing, also. I just felt the need to vent at this one. My wife was dying to go up to the group and say “You’re welcome!” very cheerily as they left. I advised against it. ;)

Yes, things like this make you wish you could truly starve the beast.

Sad thing is I have known people that DID need help to get back on their feet, and they had a terrible time ‘qualifying’ for aid, likely not the right ‘look’ or something, I don’t know.

There’s a woman on a certain forum I’m on that gets plenty of foodstamps, she’s always mentioning it, looking for ways to use them, she gets so many.
Candy, LOTS of candy at birthday parties! She was wanting to buy a Thanksgiving dinner and donate it to someone. (shaking head) It makes me sick.

A few years ago, when they still used food stamps, I and a friend of mine were behind two obese women at the cashiers. They had a cart full of expensive food including two huge shrimp rings from the deli. When they pulled out the food stamps my friend yelled in a loud voice, "Coupons! They have coupons! There's coupons for free shrimp!!" Immediately other shoppers gathered around looking to see how they too could get a coupon for free shrimp.

The cashier was frantically trying to explain that there was no coupon for free shrimp as the two women slunk out of the store.
