Americans Boycott Sam’s Club After CEO’s Racist Comments About White Males
(I expect she thinks she was selected for that position because she is the most qualified)

A video posted to YouTube appears to show a woman confronting a man at Walmart for paying for his groceries with food stamps.
The video, which has quickly gone viral, shows the woman standing behind the man, who was at the checkout counter with a child.
The two had apparently already exchanged words, in front of children, as the video started.
"I put in 50 to 60-hour weeks," the man said. "I’m trying to provide for my family."
He told her to, "Deal with it, b****," and asked her to mind her own business.
"I don’t have to. It’s a free country, remember?" the woman countered. "If I’m gonna pay for all your s***, the least I can do is talk."

This is priceless. Too much out of context but neither look like Mensa candidates.
The thing is, when I was in HS and College I worked at a grocery store, initially at checkout. There would always be people paying with food stamps and it would go down like this.
Man comes in wearing about 1 pound of gold chains Whips out Food Stamps to pay for groceries Non-food total displays Man whips out roll of $100s to pay for non-food, cigarettes, liquor, etc...
“Man comes in wearing about 1 pound of gold chains Whips out Food Stamps to pay for groceries Non-food total displays Man whips out roll of $100s to pay for non-food, cigarettes, liquor, etc... “
Once in a small corner store I witnessed a “gentleman” upset that a new clerk wouldn’t accept food-stamps for his cigarettes (”like they used to”).
He argued for a good 15 mins, left in a huff and got into a brand new BMW...
Pretty much true nowadays I’d say. If I was to complain about every person paying with their food stamp (card), I’d never get out of the store...
“Deal with it bitch!”
For some women,saying that is like ringing the bell at a boxing match.
Oh,and saying that to my wife if I’m there would be very bad.
This man who works long hours for little pay was probably a Walmart employee!
I come from a fairly poor background myself. When I was a kid, my parents, grandparents and uncles and aunts thought of government assistance (be it food stamps or welfare) as a badge of failure. Now I have a sister who gets a "crazy check" from the government and uses an Obama phone. Some people just like to work the system.

As a triage interviewer at a local food/clothing/etc. agency, I can testify that food stamp/disability/obamaphone/etc fraud is rampant.
Trump for President. Fraud costs taxpayers like us millions, perhaps billions per year.
I don’t know what led to the dispute but the woman should mind her own business — especially in front of children.
That said, I would be okay with just one separate line for food stamps. Let the ones paying for all their stuff get on with their busy lives so they can pay for the sponges.
If someone is handicapped or truly needy, I wouldn’t be as harsh. If they’re of working age and healthy, I wouldn’t care if they waited hours in line.
I’ll bet he is already planning to move to kalifornia where he can get $15 an hour so he can get off food stamps...Excuse me I just fell on the floor laughing. He would probably never get past Colorado.
Freaking hysterical. And I thought Archie Bunker was bad. This would never work today. RACIST!!
I’ve always wanted to know what percent of Walmart and Target’s gross revenue and profit is from “food stamp” purchases. My guess is around 15% of big-government crony capitalism.
[ Trump will fix it by screwing your wife ]
Huh? What part did I miss?
I've watched people count out change to pay for the cleaning products Foodstamps doesn't cover and who had nothing even bordering on fast food in their groceries. I also see people who buy large bags of rice and dried beans then count out small change to buy needles, thread, and fabric.
I'm sure there are far too many folks like the one you describe and I know for a fact you can buy dope with Foodstamps, but that doesn't mean everyone who is forced into using that alternative deserves to be put in the same category as the scum who shouldn't be helped and should probably be arrested for fraud to boot.
Things are worse in this country than a lot of people realize or want to admit and the scum abusing the system make it that much harder to fix the systems that help people because it's easy to dismiss people with no alternative as being just like the cheats and frauds who would be scamming the system even if the economy was booming.
JMHo
[ should mind her own business ]
I agree.
This woman is way out of line. I don’t know what this man’s story is, and neither does she. She should mind her own business.
What have you been smoking?
It made me not want to go to Sam’s Club. I think if I can ever get a membership, I will consider CostCo after seeing what she said.
