Two?

You need to pump those numbers up.

I work in the east now, try the Walmart on Bullard at anytime o’clock and I guarantee you see no less than 10 at a time.
The one on Chef in Gentilly is even worse.
Winn-Dixie on Chef near Read has those baskets full of Big Shot sodas and Lil Debbie snacks too.

All on the guhbement, and I’m in line getting taxed arse on less product at a higher price. Make it make sense.

I mean it doesn’t take a genius economist to under stand when you increase WIC allowances that it would increase demand. There by causing inflation out the arse for the every day working class individual/ family.

You should have bought the food off of them. .50c on the dollar. They would have done it.

It's not complete without Biden and his press secretary claiming all is well and cheaper than when OMB was the Pres.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist...i know it does. I'm calling bullshite that he personally saw this happen...let's logically walk through the scenario...he somehow was standing in line long enough to watch two separate people with full carts check out. That takes a long time on it's own so he was just milling around watching them? Second he was close enough to see the specific card type they used? EBT cards are just like credit cards and unless you're real close it would not be evident to see the specific card type someone was using. SO now not only is he standing around for that period of time. He's also close enough to see the payment type? All the while he only had a few things to purchase? bullshite. Tell me the last time you took the time to stick around and determine the payment type someone else was using at the grocery. bullshite.


I’ve seen it a bunch of times personally. The Louisiana Purchase cards stick out like a sore thumb

I will never understand why the food they can buy with taxpayer money isn't restricted to fresh and/or healthy options.


I will never understand why it isn't restricted to gov't run clearance stores. It creates jobs, makes sure the poor are fed, and improves the shopping experience for the producers.
