I was behind a nicely-dressed, upscale looking woman in Publix yesterday with 3 kids, using getting the WIC items and using EBT. I heard a couple of comments about her from people in the line next to me.
Out in the parking lot, she and the kids got into a late model Chevy Tahoe with $1000 wheels, and drove off.
We were behind someone at ingles the other day and they used ebt and wic and then went and got in an escalade.
Oh I posted my experience not because I felt bad for the welfare recipient, but that the comments are no longer being kept to oneself.
Even a year ago, you may have heard someone sigh...but now the words are starting to fly. Especially if the customer behind, is buying hamburger and generics to make ends meet, and the WIC/EBT is buying steak. Or driving off in a fancy car, or salon nails, or kids with their own cellphones...
I was noting there was a time when we would be disgusted, but silent. Somebody is going to snap. And you know what, it won’t be at some rally somewhere...it just might be in the grocery line.
