Same ol story. Watched person pay for steaks with SNAP card and drive away in a Land Rover
Makes me wonder who’s doing the right thing, me or them?
We see things like this, especially in the summer. Last week at Walmart an obese older woman with her daughter in line in front of us. The old bat was on her phone (probably an Obama phone) talking about having all the items they needed for their party/BBQ. She was talking about getting her "shrimps" and other expensive items, which she then laid out on the conveyor.
Her total was over $300 for the stuff that could be paid with her SNAP card and it included a huge amount of shrimp and seafood. She and her daughter referenced the SNAP card as "free money." She then pulled out a $100 bill from her wallet (I noticed she had at least five or six $100 bills in there) and paid for the items that could not be bought through SNAP.
My wife and I were behind them as we, and they, approached the checkout and the old lady (remember she was in one of those electric carts) put a shawl over a 24 pack of Budweiser that was under her seat. While they were looking away while paying my wife and I signaled the cashier to look under the seat and he saw the beer and very politely mentioned it and rang it up.
When we got to the parking lot we saw them loading their stuff into one of those big, black, Lexus SUV's.
