"Good Will Prevails" is such a good way of putting it

If everybody had that attitude this planet wouldn't suck so bad

yes it is only specific products like that for everything.

it would be nice

once in a while something will be held up and someone will make snide comments about people mooching off the system or whatever. meanwhile they don't realize like 60% of our customers use SNAP and they just have no idea. i honestly wish i didnt even see it when i ring people up, i dont like to think it changes how i talk to anyone. it does bother me a little when people buy a bunch of lobster or whatever but that happens soooo rarely. like maybe 2-3 times a year. i will admit to that though i wish it didn't affect me.

I'm just of the attitude that one day I could have a family and be broke and maybe it's been a really shit year and I'm like "You know what, we haven't had lobster in awhile".

Some people spend a lot of energy worrying about what poor people are doing with tax dollars or whatever.

Who cares? You would have spent that money one some bullshit anyway at least this way someone with a shitty life gets to eat

Scotty SNAP around here doesn't limit what you can buy besides "hot food" from a deli because that's considered fast food, otherwise all the junk food is available for them.
Cash part of their government assistance allows them to purchase whatever they want though.

yeah but cash seems to be a lot harder to get. i had food stamps for a while, just the food part, as far as i can tell it's much harder to get cash benefits. i only see it a couple times a day. its def only if you have kids and seems like very short term but im not really sure.

Elphenor 10-05-2014 10:28 PM

I for sure qualify for SNAP but am too lazy to apply.

Have you considered that people with a lot of money in their cash accounts are just good at budgeting and have it 'saved'? I mean I see people with big $$$ too, but it's like damned if they spend it on "food they don't need" and damned if they save it and their balance is "too big"

Trotskilicious 10-06-2014 12:35 AM

How do you know whats in their bank account?
