Thread: My rant for the week

I am far from perfect and try not to be a judgmental person. But occasionally
there are times that I just can't resist making a comment on.

I was at a dollar store the other day. A young boy and I assume his wife were
shopping with a small baby. They get to the check out and not being nosey
but next in line I saw the entire purchase. 1 gallon of milk, about a dozen
energy drinks, 6 bags of cookies.

Out comes the ebt card ( food stamp) and they don't have enough money.
They are short about $ 4 bucks. So they boy and girl argue about where
the change in the car is hidden then try to take the cart outside when
an employee stops them and tells them they have to finish paying for the
items. After several long minutes of both going back to the car they come
back in with handfuls of change to count out.

All the while the line is getting longer and and you could tell everyone including
myself were getting aggravated with the whole mess.

My point about this story is I have no problem with taxes helping people in
need especially for children. The big problem I have is the fact that they
can buy crap like this and not something the child needs. I mean come on
energy drinks. If they were getting real food, heck I would have paid the
4 dollars myself but after seeing that spectacle I wouldn't have loaned them
a cent.

I am just curious what others may think of this ?

I forgot to mention they were obnoxious and loudly arguing with each other
and also yelling at the baby every few seconds It's one of those you just
had to be there moments.
