I have been a cashier at walmart for about 4 days and the other day some asshole who obviously was able to work bought a pack of a cigarettes. The machine allowed him to purchased it with a foodstamp card...

I am very pissed off about this

lololol, that's america's money being put into good use

so they hired you again? Pretty surprising.

To be honest, I don't think you have all that much to complain about with people living off your tax money.
America basically pisses on poor and homeless people, not much of your tax money going their way.

Holland has one of the highest [don't know the word for it] 'uitkeringen'* for homeless and sick people in the world.
I think it goes up to 1100 euro($1451) total per month if you've worked for 5 years and then got fired/sick.
The social system is actually so good it's not really stimulating to get to work for them, they'd lose a lot of benefits, actually decreasing their total income, so they just don't bother at all.
You'd think these people live in shit homes or trailer parks, but the phenomenon trailer park just doesn't exist here. We give these leechers housing as well. Also extra money for incidental purchases like a new washing machine, or even a computer. They must stay 'competitive' to get a job you know!

Enjoy the fact that all they get is a smoke and some food from your government while you can.

*: Anyone know the translation for this? Translator says "payment".

MMM situation is the same in Belgium, but it you don't go to job interviews and don't make an effort to find a job, you'll get less and less money.

The oh-so-shocking truth: Some people sell foodstamps for crack.

Which is why it's a card now. Sad stuff is sad.

EBT cards at walmart are treated exactly like debit cards
