So people are paying attention to what's in other folks carts and even how they pay for it. I wonder what triggers their attention?
I see complaints on City-Data from time to time about what people are buying with their food stamps (actually an EBT card). I don't look at what other people buy and never in my life have I noticed how anyone else is paying for their food. I am not even sure what an EBT card looks like. You have to really be close to a person or straining to see how they pay.
Wait, there's one exception when I did know how they were paying, because we older people all were amused. A few years ago, a man ahead of me was paying with cash, and part of it was a Susan B. Anthony dollar. The kid cashier didn't know what it was. We heard the man telling the kid that it was indeed legal tender but the cashier wanted to call the manager. Another lady and I behind him got a kick out of it.

Go to [insert fast food joint here] with: $2 bill, any flavor dollar coin, a half-dollar coin. Then, use your credit/debit card for the remainder of the charge.
My memory is just fine. So I wasn't close enough to determine whether or not the woman was wearing wedding rings, big deal! When I see people spending large sums of money on non-essentials, like gold chains and Cadillacs, then paying for their food with Tax Payer supplemented funds, I find it annoying.
Do YOU like paying for other's living expenses?
How did you know you were? The man may well have not been on food stamps! How do you know their cohabitation status and whether they constituted a legal household. They could have been dating, friends, co workers or pray tell brother sister and he was taking his sister shopping. Wait, wait maybe he was visiting from out of town and was helping? Those things I hear do happen at least in my experiences.
Hmmmm could it have been a church thing or in your judgement didn't they look like church going people.

I think I wrote on here recently about a Wendy's cashier unable to speak and fleeing to the back for a manager when I brought in a coupon that promised a free burger with the purchase of small fries and a small drink. They might keel over if I brought in unfamiliar money.

Try having a bill for something like say $12.06 or even better $10.06 and give the cashier a $20.06 consisting of a $20, nickel and penny. It can at times create a meltdown when the cashier doesn't want to enter the full amount and tries to give the six cents back and insist no just the $20. The register will know what to do but I have had cashiers not comprehend what you are trying to do.

Our entire economic system is based upon this. Who is working for the trillions the Fed pumps into the markets? Right now that it's come to a head it's the poor paying for it with high inflation.
So for years now people have been buying gold chains and Cadillac's because of the trillions pumped into the markets and the poor are now paying for it.

That could very well be technology related. I was at a fast food restaurant the other day and like most they were short handed. The cashier was busy with the drive through window so one of the food preparers came out to ring up our order. My friend always orders coffee. He stared at the register for a moment not being able to find the coffee button. He had to ask "where is the coffee on here"?
The regular cashier said "just push the "special drink" and pour his coffee. It's certainly possible the kid just didn't know where to enter the .75 cent cheese at. You wanted them to get it right, right?
