Paid for with a SNAP card.
Second cart. Full of booze, junk food, and the guy gets four cartons of cigarettes. He pays cash.
I pay for my ground beef and potatoes. They are getting into a late model Cadillac SUV that has aftermarket rims that are worth more than my beat to crap pickup.
That was a fairly common sight at the grocery. I still see it once a month or so.
So yeah. I don't like paying for the allegedly destitute to eat better than I do while driving a new car.

I know people like that are infuriating, and there are definitely too many who abuse the system like this BUT I think the vast majority are good people who just need a little help. It's a shame the losers (like the family you mentioned) ruin it for everyone.
Okay, carry on. I'll stop being a naive, idealistic millennial
