I was at the Delchamps Grocery store in Mobile Al in 1983 on my first job out of college when I started understanding the food stamp program. I was the Supervisor of investigations for Pinkertons detective agency at the time. I had a $150.00 per month apartment and not much money....I think I was making $12,000 a year. I had in one hand a packet of chicken dogs and a bag of bread...because regular bread was cheaper than hot dog buns. In front of me was this enormous fat frigging woman with a grocery cart fillet to the brim with groceries....it was actually groaning under the weight of the groceries. The child seat compartment of the cart was filled with the nicest steaks I had ever seen. This fat slob was running her fingers over the steaks and flipping through them like dealing cards while she waited her turn. She was obviously thinking about how nice they were going to taste...I know I was! Once she finished getting rung up she produced her food stamp booklet and "tossed" it at the clerk like a rich person would toss a valet a dollar tip.

No these welfare scum managed to get past the supposed shame of the food stamps just fine.....Not that I have been bitter.....or nursed my hatred toward these moochers like a viper all these years as a result.
