You have to have worked in a grocery store at some point to believe it. You can generally spot a Food Stamp recipient even before they open their purse, because the cart is overflowing with pop, Twinkies, Ding-Dongs, Ho-Ho’s, potato chips, etc. That and every cut of meat which people who actually work for a living can’t afford. Not a tomato or a head of lettuce to be found anywhere. If you manage a store one of your challenges is to get your cashiers to stop making snyde remarks in front of such (and I use this term loosely....) customers.
That being said, I am not in favor of a Federal Food Police.
Wise judgment! Who thinks they'd stop at food stamp purchases? ;-)
Amazing.
It’s been true for a long time. I was a cashier in the late 70’s. Every two weeks or so, a certain man would come through my checkout line with two shopping carts overflowing with nothing but USDA Grade A beef, the best cuts. He’d pay for it all with food stamps. I was making $6.50 an hour, eating lots of mac & cheese and soy burger, and wondering why he was eating a lot better than most of us lowly workers.
