You only have a couple items at Walmart and there are NEVER lanes open and you get stuck behind people doing what seems to be months worth of grocery shopping!!!!!!
I nearly killed someone today! I was starving and all I wanted to do was get the things we needed and head the 2.4 minutes home to have a bowl of cereal!
I got behind this chick with a carriage full of stuff already on the conveyor and my dumb thinking "oh this shouldnt take too long!" HA HA HA! So not only did she have enough cans of formula to feed the whole US ARMY but she was on WIC! So the cashier didnt put it in as WIC so they had to do it ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this point my tummy is starting to hurt, my feet are starting to hurt, and my three year old is getting pretty antsy!
I just wanted to start screaming at her to get a job and pay for her crap like the rest of us! I am sorry I just think that more people abuse wic than benefit! Being a one time single parent with no help I know what its like to struggle but I made too much to benefit from any programs so I call bull!
THEN as I am driving out of the parking lot little miss hilton wannabe is too busy on her cell to realize she is walking right in the middle of the lane!!!!!! It took me a minute to calm myself before I stepped on it and called out 20 POINTS!
ARGH!
Re: I HATE WHEN....
Oh god I envy you! We live in a small military town where there is a food lion (where you can get shot), a kroger (which is pricey on most items) and a walmart where everyone in the town and surrounding towns shops!
Most of the time there is a line just to get into the parking lot!!!! How crazy is that!?!?!
Those are my major pet peeves too.
Ugh, I was in Target the other day and this little rich biotch college girls daddys cc didn't go through. So instead of considering the people behind her and cancelling the transaction, she busts out the cell phone and calls daddy to ask why she can't buy her $60 worth of make-up and crap. I started muttering under my breath not caring if she heard what I was saying.
?
I can get that you're upset and that people sometimes abuse the system... but really? Don't let the hormones get the best of you...
The only encounters that I have ever seen with WIC have been people abusing the system! My mother tried to apply and as she was walking out some lady in a lexus pulls up to get her checks!
My sister (whom I love) was on WIC because he boyfriend was illegal and his income was under the table so she qualified.
I worked my arse off for my child only to be denied because I made too much but just not enough for help!?!?!!
Everytime I see someone cashing their checks in they have one too many kids in the cart and maybe just maybe if they would invest in some b/c then they wouldnt have another mouth to feed.
No I am not saying every case is abuse but I feel that the system is misused by the majority and it takes away from hardworking people that otherwise could use help also! Its just like the child support system wherease I am still waitinng on $10,000 on back child support of which I am confident I will never see!
