I ran out from work just to grab a soda for a caffeine jolt. Waiting in line in front of this kid no older than 21. He was mangy looking yapping on his phone with his mask down. He was buying peanut butter , jelly and some Slim Jims. The transaction was taking forever and he wouldn't stop yapping on the phone.
He is using this card.
It is an EBT welfare card the state gives to those on assistance. Finally the card goes through then he starts buying scratch tickets with cash. A 5 dollar and a few 2 dollar ones and some rolling papers.
I was having bad thoughts about making a comment out-loud. He knew I was getting peeved. He said "sorry man"
I get to pay cash and also pay for his junk food and assorted other junk with my tax money.
I am thankful I have a job . I just don't think it is right that we have to pay for his items and he has discretionary cash to buy scratch tickets and papers to smoke weed.
