Maybe they would figure something out if they weren’t allowed to buy fast food, pre-packaged convenience food, pop, cookies, chips, etc.

Just like the rest of us have to when we have to stretch our grocery dollars.

If you’re on my dime, it shouldn’t extend much beyond beans, rice, a few fresh fruits and veggies, dark meat chicken, and maybe hamburger. Oh, and pork shoulder.

I understand the evening and night shift crowd, but those working heros are not waiting for the Eagle to sh** at midnight.

Ours closed at midnight about two years ago and blamed sketchers stealing stuff for the closure.

Funny. My Maine woods raised adopted black daughter went to DC a few years ago to visit a friend (white). While down there, she was always picked out as being from out of town by ticket-takers, guides etc. She couldnt figure it out at first, She is a big girl and a nice milk chocolate brown. Then she realized she did not have fake nails, did not have hair extensions(she has waist length curly hair) and that her clothes fit her instead of being two sizes too small from black companies. She realized her complexion did not matter as much as her presentation.
She was an out of towner and they knew it.

The EBT Queen syndrome transcends race. I never implied such. In fact, in my neck of the woods most that I see in Walmart are white if that matters. It is just plain wrong either way.

Never took it as such. Just an observation of differences.

“Also, if kidnappers aren’t going to Walmart, they’re missing a fish-in-a-barrel situation.”

Walmart is covered in security cameras inside and out.

Few weeks back my Girlfriend’s car was hit in a wallyworld parking lot by a guy cutting through parking spaces. He denied it and said it was GF’s fault until a walmart employee handed the cop a disk of the security video which played on the cop’s computer and showed the clown cutting across the parking paces.

Probably in the usage of “a sketchy person”.

Which reminds me of an interview given by Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters after Hurricane Katrina hit.

One of the things she said, and I am paraphrasing here, is that it was a shame the Hurricane hit before the first of the month when most of the New Orleans residents get their Government checks.

I kid you not.

You just described South Florida after “Wilma” and numerous other storms! The majority of people in this country would not be prepared for any quick snapped emergency, lasting more than a day!
