Umm, right…
Im glad I am not the only one who’s seen the strange pinata candy stealer.
You should see what the strange guy at our Walmart does to the piñatas. *shudder*
first WHOO!
…oh…it was
ah…F#CK
I think we live in the same neighborhood.
same.
I live in a small town in Ohio where the only thing to do is go to Walmart. We joke that after 10pm on any given night the “Scary Hill Folk” come out with their toothless smirks, half-witted children, and their food stamps. So your graph is fairly accurate. The only difference between your town and mine is that we live in a DRY COUNTY. YEAH. So that means no trying to buy beer with food stamps. I feel like i am really being cheated out of a good time watching that go down. *sigh*
It’s going to get even worse. Obama is giving Ohio food stamp receivers $80 MORE in food per month. Meanwhile I have to pay for every morsel I chew. I should just pop out 4 kids so I can have $588 + $80 of free food each month.
And Obama gave them health insurance, too! Now more food for kids! Insanity! I say if any program has anyone that abuses the system, that program should be abolished! Darn kids think they deserve food and health.
The problem is: It’s openly abused… Everybody on the official side has turned a blind eye to this. Heck I know of people who have officials HELP them cheat on the system. Why? What are they going to do, cut them off? Every bleeding-heart liberal would scream “Won’t somebody think of the children” and put them right back on the system. How do you get an able-body person to work, when they will do anything in their power NOT to work (even if it means more work, working the system) (wow I said work a lot). I have a cousin like this.
Whether or not the government is supporting them, the people abusing the system will find someway to get what they want without working for it.
It’s not their kids fault, the kids didn’t sit in the womb going “awesome, we’re gonna live off food stamps and be pointed at as the bane of the system for our whole childhood lives”.
The good of the many outweighs the good of the few; that’s all there is to it. If a greater number of people are aided than those that are harmed, then the system works.
OH NOEZ! Poor people are getting help! And I have to be minorly inconvenienced by it! I’ll have to save up for an extra month to buy my new HD TV because some jerk wants to eat food on a regular basis. Obama is so evil. The poor people should starve to death and then we could afford whatever we want. Of course, there would be no one to make the things we want, but why let logic get in the way of greed?
No people to make things for us? I guess if you don’t include China (-where I live in, BTW. I have friends who work more than 40 hours a week doing decent work and still make less than 100 USD a month.)
I think the original poster was trying to say something you’re missing: She has to work to earn her money. Those who have children they can’t support get money from the government: money they didn’t and don’t have to work for(Not all of them are willfully unemployed, obviously, but that doesn’t negate the existence of those who like to cheat the system.) I’m all about giving to the needy, but it’s different when the goverment takes your money (taxes) and decides for you that someone else is more deserving of the money you earned. I mean, when you get right down to it, is it the government’s responsibility to make sure all of it’s citizens get all the things they want and need? No. It’s just not. It’s just easier to say that “it should be the government’s responsibility.” Life is hard, folks.
You want redistribution of wealth? I’ll gladly explain how and why it didn’t work in China. In fact, it ended up being quite a nasty scene for everyone, and there was a general inablity to get even the most basic consumer goods – even if you had money. But hey! It was more equal! Iron Rice Bowl! (but no meat and vegetables.)
Oh, and people still ended up starving.
I might lose my internets for a while after posting this T_T
“is it the government’s responsibility to make sure all of it’s citizens get all the things they want and need? No.”
…
Um… wait, what?
It is, indeed, the responsibility of the government to make sure that all of its citizens are cared for.
Man, I’m a child and i fi starve to death o rdie of a diseaase I blame you
Oh whatever. I have food stamps. I also have a job. So guess what? MY tax dollars are ALSO going into it.
How dare I not be able to feed my family. It must be ALL MY FAULT because I can’t find a better job.
How about if you come on the system with 3 kids you get benefits for 3 kids and if you have a 4th kid then too bad for you. Collecting system money? keep it in your pants!
Yeah, it’s totally that 4th kid’s fault, so it should be punished with starvation! That’s some compassionate conservatism for ya.
Here’s an easy solution. If you get government money (and you’re female), then you get put on, say, depo-provera shots or a contraceptive implant as part of the deal. Easy solution… you don’t have to remember to take a pill, the kids you have are getting their food stamps, and there will be no extra kids on the way to pay for so it’s fairer to the taxpayers.
I’ve got the implant (got it before I lost my job and health insurance, thankfully). Having a kid right now would be the worst thing that could possibly happen to me. Implant’s great because it last for 3 years, can be removed whenever you want up to that point, and you regain fertility almost immediately.
(Now if only they’d develop birth control pills, implants or shots for the men…)
The Men’s pill is coming soon… Until then… “Tie ‘em in a knot”
How did a Walmart graph turn into a political debate?
huh, I was thinking the exact same thing.
Me to
thank you for saying this… if you cant afford a kid, you shouldn’t have one…
birth control is less than $20 a month…
the problem is the people who abuse the system. my family was on welfare when i was young. we viewed it as embarrassing, and tried to make sure to get off it as soon as possible. meanwhile, other people we knew were trying to have more kids to get more money (which they did).
it’s ok to use gov aid for help if you need it, it’s not ok to do what you can to stay on it for as long as possible.
Yes! So how about the system still worked as it does, but instead of being being a compensation for popping more rednecked-jailbait out into the open, it was a way for said redneck daddies and mommies to get back on their no-shoes feet? I agree with your post, kuddos bunny
Your kids shouldn’t suffer, but if you were truly serious about ceasing asking for other people to pony up and pay for what should be YOUR OWN obligation, you probably wouldn’t have the time to post here.
If I were in that situation, I’m pretty sure I’d be spending my spare time either looking for a better job, or studying something in order to qualify for a better job, rather than posting on GraphJam.
yes, people who need help to get by should have NO free time ever. and if they do have some, they should use it not to decompress from the stress of working a crappy job by doing something they like, they should use any and all their free time to work even harder!!!!
Meh. Playtime comes AFTER obligations are taken care of. People not possessing that work ethic, might get stuck in crappy jobs.
So, if you’ve worked 14 hours at a crappy-paying job to attempt to support your family, and you go home, and your kids are already in bed because hey, you’re working so much you don’t get a chance to see them anyway, and you sit down to eat your supper and maybe empty your head a little so you can actually sleep, then you’re somehow not doing enough?
I guess people who are struggling should give up sleep and food breaks. only people who can afford those things should get them….
why dont you go to college before you have kids… then you might have a good job??
But think of all the expenses that come with having 4 kids. They eat a lot, plus there’s you and possibly a sig-other… That money doesn’t stretch that far. Don’t assume that everyone getting government aid is just sitting on their ass, buying Burberry purses with their welfare money. Most people in those programs actually ARE working and trying to make an honet living. Maybe if everyone stopped judging people they don’t even know and actually worked to make this world a better, happier, more accepting place for everyone, we’d all be better off.
I have SEEN who is using their food stamp cards in the stores. Flat out: these people are being encouraged not to get a job by the freebies. My sister in law LOVE the freebies. Don’t tell me the sob story that the money and free food is hard to stretch. STOP HAVING CHILDREN!!! EASY solution. Geezus.
The people you see are not the only ones on food stamps. The ones who “abuse” the system are the ones who are usually the most visible because they have been poor the longest and have the lowest levels of education and hygiene. A lot of those people are unemployed because they are undesirable… Would you hire them?
I was standing in the line at the supermarket one night and an older, well-heeled, lady in front of me began to complain about the young mom who had gone through before us. She did the whole spiel that you just did. I just nodded and smiled. As she was loading her cart I pulled out my EBT card and paid for my groceries. I never had to say a word but her chagrin was evident.
I was only on food stamps for a couple of months while I healed and looked for work after breaking 5 bones because I was ineligible for FMLA to protect my job while I couldn’t walk. I am white, college educated, and could never have made it through those tough months without aid.
But then… yours was due to a non-work related injury? And very temporary, yes? See, I have no problem with a couple of months, and I know sometimes recovery times or job searching can take longer, but there are people using various forms of welfare for years. I’m actually glad that you used food stamps as I believe they are intended: to give a little lift to people in a time of need. It shouldn’t be a permanent crutch. And people DO use it that way, unfortunately. And, I’m sorry, Americans can be really stuck up about work, even if they are living in poverty (which doesn’t compare with the poverty you see in China at all.) There is always some job they could do, but they decide it’s too inconvenient, doesn’t pay what they like, or is beneath them.
That’s exactly how my town is. Except I think the “Scary Hill Folk” make up about 90% of our town. I live in a tiny town in Arkansas. It’s a dry county, so no using foodstamps to buy beer here, either
You forget the baby in naught but a diaper. Probably his last, hence the trip to Walmart.
In my local WalMart they just open a pack of diapers and take one out, then go to the bathroom and change the kid.
they do that in every supermarket in my area. not only diapers, but maxi pads and tampons too.
It’s walmart.
People stealing from walmart has NO impact on pricing. It’s a huge mogul. If it were a small local business, I would agree with you, but walmart? Walmart will raise or lower its prices at its own whims and marketing direction.
Why do I think the people trying to buy beer with food stamps are also likely to be shoeless and sporting rebel flag neck tattoos?
Clearly this should have been a Venn diagram.
And I’m sure that pinata thief was rockin’ a rebel flag and no shoes as well.
I live in a fairly big, progressive town, and the one time I absolutely had to go to Walmart, I was astounded to find all these same “scary hill folk” shopping there. I had to wonder where they all came from.
Walmart’s like bananas – no matter where you live, what the climate is, or what time of year, if you leave them out for a day or two they attract those nasty, annoying, tiny fly/gnat thingies.
fruit flies?
happens with all fruit.
funny, i could say the same thing about most people.
especially the judgmental ones.
My hubby & I have had a term for those nasty Walmart children for years. We call it “naked babies”. Children being wheeled around in a cart w/ no shoes or clothing. Summer time, winter, whenever! I’m also in small town Ohio.
…and smacked on the leg and told to “shut up” if they cry.
Did you offer help to the family? Did you suggest anty local social resources, say a prayer for them or lend a helping hand?..Judge not lest you be judged…
Hmmm… this seems to match:
A. Santee/El Cajon/Lakeside, CA
B. Pontiac/Ottawa, IL
C. Bowling Green, KY
and D. Clarksville, TN
it is NOT just the South, but seemingly everywhere I once lived…
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and most of the stereotypes apply here too…except beer can’t legally be sold in a Walmart.
That’s right! Poor people are everywhere! If you everr lost your job and had to ride in the back of a U-haul….you’d understand! And the way the recession has been going in the past several months don’t besurprised if you see that ever so much more!
Where’s the slice of pie about people in Pajama Pants??
And what about the old ladies in curlers and fuzzy pink slippers? They need love too.
And what about the 400 lb woman with the 100 lb toothless boyfriend/husband? With her 5 – 8 all different colored kids?
And a Rascal? Eating hostess Cupcakes out of the box?
What has been seen cannot be unseen.
what exactly IS a Rascal?
Sounds like a mean name
What have their colours got to do with anything?
I assume it means the kids all have differant daddies
this is N/A, as people in jams can be found everywhere. especially on college campuses. or in my case, picking up pizza on sunday night or driving a friend to the ER at 8a on saturday. sorry.
there is nothing wrong with wearing pjs to go run an errand (although the later at night, the better).
Everything is wrong about wearing sloppy pj pants in public. I personally have to view your lazy self in the stores. It’s gross. It’s disgusting. And it shows a lack of self confidence. Why would you WANT to advertise yourself as a bum? Be a lady and dress nicely. You never know who you will run into. I’m 28 and hate the way other gals dress these days.
You poor thing… How dare they upset you!
Most of the girls I see sporting PJ pants in public are the ones WITH the self confidence. They PJ pants are usually paired with Uggs and a school sweatshirt. They look cute. Honestly, I would rather see this look than the skin tight jeans some girls wear – especially when paired with a skin tight cami and a muffin top.
What about the guys who dress in PJ bottoms?
I like to wear PJ pants when I go to Walmart. I don’t think it shows a lack of confidence so much as it shows a lack of caring about what people like you think about how I’m dressed.
Get over yourself.
Wow, you are about as shallow as they come.
Get a life, if you don’t like the way I look don’t look at me!!!
Besides, who says I am not a lady just b/c I run into the store in my yoga or pj pants. Hell the last time I did it I was picking up meds after getting a GI scope. I sure as hell didn’t want to wear high heels, make up or tight jeans after than!
You don’t know the whole story and shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
Venn diagrams need more love.
You forgot ‘high-schoolers hanging out in the parking lot because there’s nothing else to do’.
But maybe that’s just my town.
The cops have to come and make them leave, so then they just drive around the parking lot with their stereos turned up, being obnoxious.
/old.
That’s every small town. It’s not always WalMart, but somewhere in a town parking lot.
After the cops broke them up long enough at Wal-Mart, they moved down the road a bit to the car wash. Not sure where they go now, as I got the hell out of there.
Yeah,they left that one out. And “teenagers having fights with lightsabers” should be in there somewhere,too.
You should switch the percentage of “children not wearing shoes” with the percentage of “adults not wearing shoes”
HAHAHAHA!!! ‘Cause only poor white trash shops at Wal-Mart and they’re all really stupid! What a hilarious over-generalization!!
/sarcasm
You must never have been in a walmart late at night… if you have and you arn’t seeing the Scary Hill Folk you might be one of them!!!
.
.
I’ll admit, I’ll pop into walmart from time to time wearing something odd. Me and a friend left in the middle of a pool party to pick up a last-second gift. We were wearing wet swimsuit tops, mis-matched shorts and soggy flip flops!
Then there was the time me and my sis had a craving for brownies at three in the morning… we wandered in wearing p.j. bottoms, fuzzie slippers and t-shirts.
.
On both these occasions I wasn’t the weirdest person in the place! THAT’S what’s scary!
“You must never have been in a walmart late at night… if you have and you arn’t seeing the Scary Hill Folk you might be one of them!!!”
Yeah, anyone who doesn’t agree with this over-generalization also has to be stupid! I mean, of course! EVERYONE knows that! And don’t forget the rebel flag tattoos! ‘Cause all Southerners are stupid ignorant backwards trash, too! Let’s make a joke about how many teeth the people in Wal-Mart have, also!
Four. They have four teeth. Between them.
thank you squoze.
i lold
Quit your whining, register 4 needs nickels and quarters.
You must know that if the toothbrush were invented ANYwhere else, it would have been called the “TEETHbrush”, right?
Worry about your own darn ‘toofies’ and I’ll worry about mine, hoss!
Swimsuit tops and soggy clothes. Yep, you were one of the people I was gawking and laughing at for your lack of style.
We were laughing the whole time. Any other store we’d have gotten kicked out for being indeacent! Walmart is just awsome like that. ^^
well, i was there shopping and i don’t consider myself poor white trash. neither was the weird guy stealing pinata candy. but see, if i had made a chart that was an exact representation of walmart customers, it wouldn’t have been as funny, and i thought that was the point of graphjam – to poke fun and be humorous.
perhaps the point is to be as uptight as possible?
Admit it, you were the guy stealing candy from a pinata! ^^
ok, ok – you got me! I AM KEYSER SOZE!
Would it be funny if it made fun of Jews? Or blacks? No. It’s only “funny” because poor white Southerners are the only ones we’re allowed to denigrate in society anymore. If tolerance isn’t for everyone, it’s not tolerance.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
Quit yer whinning already! Nobody wants to hear it; and just because you don’t have a sense of humor, doesn’t mean you have to condemn those that do!
Also I think you’re reading “southern” and “white” into it…I was in a WalMart last night and I think we may have been the only “white” people in there at the time.
*pokes the over sensative hick with a pointy twig*
When they came for the Southerners,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Southerner.
When they came for the toothless,
I did not speak out;
I have all my teeth.
When they come for the idiots who think that everyone will eventually get rounded up by the government I will speak out;
I will probably say something like, “Finally!”
Even poor, white Southerners can put clothes on their kids before they bring them into the WalMart.
Wait!!!! what about the obese people riding the rascals. Then the man with 2 broken legs is hobbling on crutches cause all the rascals are gone? How about the women with bleached out hair and 3-5 screaming kids with the shopping cart full of chips and snack cakes.
That and what about the people (adults and children alike, female and male) with mullets? The Wal Mart where I’m from has these scary people as well….
I live about an hour outside the Twin Cities in Minnesota and used to work at Walmart on the overnight shift a loooooong time ago.
Ballsyist thing I’ve ever seen… a family sharing a friggin’ watermelon as they walked through the store!! I don’t think I need to tell you what nationality but they had like 5 kids and another on the way.
I mean … I know we’ve all “sampled” a grape or 2 from the bag but a whole friggin’ watermelon? They didn’t even cut it open… it was like they smashed it on the cart to get to the inside.
Also, my favorites were the one with food stamps (mind you I was on them for about 4 years during my college years but off now) who over spent their budget and had to put something back from their order. What do they pick out of all the crap they were buying (chips, candy, ice cream, cookies, etc.) to put back? The stinkin’ milk, eggs and cheese!!! Then they have the nerve to yell at their kid when they ask for a 38 cent candy bar saying “we can’t afford that.”
PRICELESS!!
That is soooo awsome!
My sis worked at walmart for a while when she was doing the collage thing. At the time they were selling these realy big, realy weird looking sombreros. People kept picking them up, wandering around the store with them in their carts, and then when they’d get to the checkout line descided they didn’t want the sombrero. It wasn’t like this was one or two people doing it eather! For weeks, by the end of her shift she had this mound of sombreros at her regester!
Oh man. All the stories from Wal-Mart. I, fortunately, am one of the Rebels from the South. I work in a Texas Wal-Mart. I know all these stories, and more. My favorite is the one where two white ladies were jumping down the throat of a man who looked to be Arabian, because he had a bit over 20 items and they were in the Express checkout.
The one lady told her husband they were leaving, and he put the cart to the side. She took it, placed it in front of the bag carousel and said, “No. Leave it here. So they can see how childish and stupid they’re being.”
I’m sorry lady, but the only one being childish and stupid is you!
You did left out gangs of teenagers. Oh, how I love places where going to Wal-Mart is the only thing to do. Also, a great foodstamps story– I worked at a grocery store where pretty much every customer was on foodstamps. Some were ashamed, some happily shouted “I’m buyin’ this with FOODSTAMPS!!!” and one little old lady got mad because she couldn’t buy catfood with foodstamps. Her logic? “But it says ‘food’ on the can!”
I once saw a man who, upon being told that dog food wasn’t covered by foodstamps, put the dog food back. And picked up steaks instead.
Oh my god. That is so sad. People in grocery stores make me question whether or not intelligent life actually exists. Have you ever seen the people moving the WIC stamps so they can get the more expensive cereal?
Also, I just noticed that I wrote “You did left out” in my first post. It should say “You did leave out” or “You left out.” Pick which one you like better.
“Have you ever seen the people moving the WIC stamps so they can get the more expensive cereal?”
This would not have went too well with me behind the counter! Lol, I used to get WIC customers in my convenience store all the time, and we had a little booklet that listed all the stuff that was allowed to be purchased with WIC. I followed it to the letter, if only to piss off the customers. If it wasn’t on the list, they weren’t getting it unless they had something other than WIC.
They now have ICC cards in Tx. So, people can use WIC and Foodstamps with the same card. And, I couldn’t believe my luck. Tonight, I had a customer in my line using a Foodstamp card. He said he couldn’t go over 50 bucks. This dude had three 24-pack sodas, one 32-oz grape juice, a twelve-pack of orange drink and some junk food. It still didn’t total 50, so his fat ass went and got a red velvet cake and some candy bars…..
Umm… you forgot Gangbangers. Last week, I was the only non-suspicious looking person at Mall-wart.
Hmm. You look suspicious to me….
Your graph fails to mention 500 LB WOMEN WEARING SPANDEX SHORTS AND TUBE TOPS!
Better yet is a baby tee that reads “HOTTIE” with a couple rolls that are hanging out of the bottom and daisy duke shorts, pushing a stroller baby with just a diaper on, and a boyfriend/husband with a mullet and missing teeth. Honets, seen it at a Walmart in Eugene Oregon.
Unfortunately, I can’t unsee the amount of spandex I’ve seen in a Walmart as well. The town my parents live in all there is to do is go to the Walmart.
Dearest Fritters,
Please move you mouse to the “back” button on you computer and press it twice.
Go back to your browser and find another place to be annoying.
Perhaps somewhere where there is really is intolerance taking place, as I would be willing to bet that every race is represented somewhere on this page.
For I, myself, have only one tooth and a rebel flag tatoo and my children own no shoes at all. We are, in fact, too poor to own a computer, as I just lost my job last week.
This seems to be an appropriate link right about now:

You can’t buy beer on sundays.
you can in some places. lexington, ky is one of them!
I live in Utah, and I can buy beer on Sundays, so I’m sure you can plenty of other places as well. Though the 1 AM rush in convenience stores is quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
Depends entirely on the municipality.
That’s a local regulation, not an across-the-board one. I used to be able to sell it anytime
After reading all these comments, I can only be thankful I live in Europe.
Just think of all the people-watching fun you’ll never have!
lexington, ky isn’t a small town.
Awesome.
This is spot on. I worked at Wal-Mart in a town of 10,000. Spot…on.
wal-mart bingo!
http://bitsandpieces.us/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/imageswalmart-20bingo.jpg
didn’t read all the comments, dunno if someone posted it yet.
i work there, and we have a competition going on with this. sorry, wal-mart shoppers.
What’s wrong with having multi-racial children?
I have to second that. Woman with 3+ kids when she is clearly not married or has any sense of responsibility is one thing (that can really be anyone), but acting like having mixed kids makes you lowlife scum? Not so much.
Yeah. The rest of it is pretty funny though.
Though, actually, missing limbs and such isn’t so nice either.
I think maybe it’s not “multi racial” in the sense that each child is half white, half something else and they all are the same something else. I think it is intended to poke fun at the fact that is now obvious that the children have three different fathers, because the first child is half race A, the other is half B, and the other is half C but they are all half white. Whether or not this is appropriate to make fun of, I’ll leave that to someone else to judge, but it’s a different thing than making fun of mixed kids themselves or the having of them.
Alternatively, it could be an attempt to imply that the girl was just rebelling against racist parents when she slept with the man of another race-therefore seeing him only as his race just like her parents do-and out of this immaturity produced children three times. Nothing wrong with cross-race relationships, marriages or kids, of course, but if the only reason you sleep with a guy is because he’s of a race your parents don’t like (or you think they don’t, because you are overreacting in a teenager way) and you want to rebel or just show them you can to make them mad, that’s really really immature.
I’ve seen/heard/smelled all of these except the person with the voicebox. Do you mind if I paste that to my MySpace?
Umm….with the economy like this, this chart is invalid untill the economy is back to normal… (Buisiness owners shopping at walmart because they cant afford anything else…this economy sucks…
silly, you forgot “fat women in aisle-blocking carts that are too lazy to walk”
Better yet, TWO fat women blocking the aisle because they are gossiping… loudly!
I’m sitting here thinking, ‘At least there’s a place for these people to go to!’
This entire conversation reminds me of a Bloom County comic strip which you can find if you do a google image search on the word “offensensitivity”
About the comment on the pride of those buying with FOODSTAMPS, we, as cashiers, actually have a CBL *Computer Based Learning* about how to handle different situations. One was about foodstamps.
A lady comes up with a handbasket *those little blue baskets* and points out all the stuff she’s going to buy and then the module stops and asks one question with four possible answers. My first time, I actually clicked on, “I’m sorry ma’am, but you can’t buy that with food stamps.”
The module continued and she ‘informed’ me that she was paying cash for the toys, but was using foodstamps for the food.
How freaking awesomes is that?!?! I love CBLs…
Ha ha, I work graveyard, so I often end up in Walmart (as it’s the only thing open) at odd times doing my shopping. This graph is soooooo true.
Seriously, I have seen people with their little kids at 2AM in Walmart on a weeknight. Sheesh!
What about the guy wearing the Darth Vader suit that hangs out in the front by the 2 for $11 movie bin? When I was a kid, that guy was ALWAYS in my local Wal Mart…
unless you live in pennsylvania like i do and then you still have all that but you cant buy beer at wal-mart…
That is scarily accurate.
Would be even more accurate if ALL those groups overlapped somehow.
Does nobody see the problem with creating a fraction for the one pinata candy stealing guy?
I agree with the food stamps and people buying alcohol with their own money but can’t seem to buy food, a necessity might I add, with their own money. I work at a grocery store and I see people like this all the time! One guy complained that he wasn’t going to pay 3 something for a bag of ice so he was happy it was on food stamps, but yet he bought beer with his own money. That pissed me off!
You know what’s wrong. My parent’s work hard to put me through college and with this crappy economy they have had to sell alot of things to pay for NECESSITYS but yet they get paid “too much” to get on food stamps. But people who have nice cars and can buy alcohol are on it. My parents have a run-down truck and can’t afford to buy another car that is decent enough to run.
When I was two I had an operation and my parents didn’t have insurance so they had to pay for it out of their own pocket and when they called the government to try to get on food stamps, they told them to go and call a Church and see if they can give them money!
That is what’s wrong! I’m not saying all people are like this, I do know people who are honest and are trying and are on food stamps, but people who take advantage of a good thing should not be on it AT ALL! It ruins it for people like my parents who are working their asses off!
That’s sadly true at too many times to mention! However, more often times than not, the people are deserving of government assistance. It is unfortunate that your parents weren’t offered that same fairness in an offer of help and understanding!
