Sorry if I offend anyone here.
A few weeks ago, I was in a local grocery, and a lady in front of me bought $320 worth of T-bones, rib-eyes, and babyback ribs (mostly rib-eyes and T-bones). I thought she was buying all this meat for a BBQ or something. When I got up to the checkout, her total wasn't cleared out yet, and it said "Food Stamps".
Who do I complain to to report this? I believe that everyone is entitled to a luxury every once in a while, but this was way beyond that.
I guess I am p#ssed off, because when I was laid off, I could not get any help because I "made to much" from the local welfare dept. But, this woman (who looks like she hasn't missed a meal in decades, 350 lbs+) can get food stamps to live better than most of us.
Just got to thinking $320/350 lbs almost equals $1/lb. Maybe they get paid by the pound.
