honestly i dont give a single frick about good/bad attitude from a cashier...our encounter requires no interaction of any kind

i put the shite on the belt
you ring it up
i pay for it and leave

people are too damn sensitive, and not responsible enough to have their own shite together well enough to go grocery shopping.

The absurdity of this is laughable.

Not 99% bullshite Boo. 100% chance that this never happened.

I doubt calandros will accept EBT. If they do, they lose 2 customers for caving into this crap.

This is spot on. This is where Calandro's, Calvin's, etc. comes into play. Idiots are everywhere, but they're even worse as you go lower and lower down the chain. I cannot fathom how you leave the house without a plan. Wandering around the store, children hanging off the shelves and your cart, don't have enough money.. I just can't deal with it anymore. I've budgeted to shop where I do, and the headache saves me far surpasses the $10 I might save by going to WalMart or Albertsons.

I avoid trash, black or white. I tried shopping at Wal-Mart once during college and promptly decided to stay with Rouses after witnessing an EBT queen slap the absolute shite out of her kid for dropping a rotisserie chicken.


Did she just kick it under the clothing rack?

Not lying we walked out of Alberstons a few days ago. Grabbed a basket went into an aisle and just said screw this let's go to Robert's. The customers suck, the lines are long, and the parking lot is a shitshow.

The lady workers are good though. They're just understaffed

Think of how dumb the average person is... then realize that half of them are dumber than that.

99% chance this is total bullshite. Even if it wasn't, it doesn't make any sense... it's not like they had to accept EBT in Obama's America.


No way this happened. Only maybe one of the cashiers actually has a pulse.

the one that had a pulse was Ms. Jackie and she died two weeks ago.

I miss the midget cashier. She would stand on a little stool. I'd go see her before fishing trips because midgets are good luck.

Bring back the midget Cdro!

It's my store. If they start accepting EBT and it affects my shopping experience, I'm out like trout.

I'd certainly be interested in seeing how many of these people would start shopping at Calandros vs how many people would leave.

I'd be disappointed if they started accepting it, but I also don't think it would make that much of a difference. As I said, they don't carry the products or selection that people on food stamps (usually people with kids) want. The only thing I could see happening is them using their food stamps to buy up all the nice Prime meat.

I shop at the Perkins location and I like that when I go there is always at least 3 cashier's and not much of a line.
The aisles are not big enough for two buggies so if you add the element of poor/EBT users it could get congested a good bit.

It would definitely be a windfall for Calvin's if they did. Part of shopping at Calandro's is not to have to deal with the fricking circus that Albertson's is.
