And because he had a snap cad you know that his clothing wasn't purchased by his rich uncle and that his car wasn't a loaner?It was the self checkout line at a Fry's grocery store in Mesa, AZ. The person I'm referring was at the terminal directly in front of me as I was standing in line. I noticed the clothing because the brand was in large letters down the side of his pants with a matching shirt that had matching brand name down the sleeve. His phone may not have been brand new, but it was a newer iPhone and newer than mine. iPhones are not inexpensive. He also had very nice/clean Nike shoes.
I had few items and he had several. He had to ask for help using his SNAP card while paying. Since I had few items, we ended up leaving at basically the same time and, yes, I did make a point to see what kind of vehicle he got into.
It's funny how everyone who is against these programs has the same stupid unbelievable unsubstantiated story. My coworker told me basically the same story last week.
Maybe take the time and look into the welfare programs in that state and look at the maximum payouts, then see if your assumptions are even possible.
The only thing about your story that is possibly based in fact is that he was using an SNAP card, you have no way of knowing how he obtained his clothing or car, so stop assuming the worst. And stop letting your imaginations grow your assumptions into claimed facts.
