Albertsons spinoff - what's with bums asking for money for TWIC cards?

Tonight's hassle at the College Drive Albertsons was not the long wait at the registers -- they seem to have fixed that after our gripe-a-thon a few weeks ago.

No, now the panhandlers have moved inside. Got stopped back by the meat counter by a tweaked-out "Jeremy" who after his "homeless, found God, etc." warmup, said he was $70 toward getting his TWIC card and could I help. This is the second time recently that I've heard the phrase "TWIC card" used in a pitch... do they think that will help?

I have to give credit to the store workers who moved with Mossad efficiency once I told them someone was inside asking for money.

College Albertson's?

I remember seeing some black guys yahoo some bud light from them a long time ago when I was in college. Except, they didn't yell yahoo. They just ran out with the beer. I knew then that they had grown up with very little culture.

Bluebonnet Alberston's FTW. Gardere doesn't bother.

Haven't ran across that one, nor have I come across them inside. They're constantly in the parking lot though, or at least used to be, I've pretty much quit going to that location.

Where do you think they hire operators from?

I had the same guy ask me for bus money to get to a job interview twice in a week. They think people will think they're trying to better themselves and give them money. 99.9% are pieces of shite.
