No what? Food is a necessity. Last time I checked you could eat lobster and prime rib. Or do you have specific foods you think they should only be allowed to buy? Day old bread, dented canned food, dried beans? Or is it the price that bothers you? How much is too much to pay for an item? If lobster is cheap (and trust me, it is in many places) would you raise an eyebrow? Seriously, I'm curious how your mind works.

Not that this is actually a problem at all, just idle curiosity into the minds of people.

Here,



Two young people. He was was wearing Jordan's and addidas shorts. Shes dressed all preppy with a nice new purse. Both had iPhones.
TWO shopping carts LOADED.



$621. If you look at the screen carefully, you see Ending F/S. Bal - $350. Thats what they had left! So almost a $1000 in Food Stamps.



This is what they got into. The trunk was loaded with amps and subs!! Most groceries went onto the back seat!

Its Adididas. The picture is crappy. Look under the stripes and you'll see the triangle logo. Its not Sams Club. Its Sherm's Thunderbird. I took the pictures myself.

^ You got a screen shot of their checkout screen? Then you climbed up onto the roof to get a shot of them loading their trunk?
