Title: Grocery receipt. Read it carefully

Life is good!
This receipt was found in the parking lot of the grocery store in Menominee, Michigan

I remarked to myself in line today at Walmart how the ones paying with food stamps always have the biggest wads of cash.

I understand they've updated how foodstamps work, but I'll never forget sitting outside a quickymart a few years ago and seeing a guy send his malnurished looking kid in to buy a few cents worth of candy with a food stamp coupon worth $20 bucks.  She came out with the candy and $19 cash.  He takes the money in and spends every cent on cigaretts.   ::)
