I remember when I was working at the grocery store and how some-but-not-all clerks would get pissed off at the choices that people on food stamps were making.
Thing was, they were making the same food choices. I know, because I bagged their groceries, too. It had nothing to do with age/health/whatever. They just didn't want someone *else* making those food choices, especially when on food stamps. "They should be buying healthier stuff," they'd say, then load up on chips and cookies at the end of their shift.
They didn't seem to have the same problem with WIC, however. I guess that's because WIC prescribes what people can buy.
They also would get really ticked off if the people on food stamps had a big car. "She's driving a Cadillac!" Yeah, a 25-year-old Caddy held together mostly by rust.
I guess it would have made them happier if the people on food stamps had been thrown in prison or something.
Stupid small-town jerks.
