In fairness to the people with WIC buying not-allowed things, it is super complicated. So, for example, you have to have either the exact amount or less of what is on the check-- so if they say 15oz of cereal, but all the cereal comes in 16 oz containers, you have to get the 12 oz. And then it is even more complicated, because there are only particular cereals you can get. And when I was doing it, it wasn't in the computer, the cashier had to read the back of the WIC check to see if the particular cereal was eligible. Very rarely did I see people seeming to attempt to 'scam' their WIC check.
Foodstamps, I did a little bit, but it was mostly just this one vietnam vet who had a traumatic brain injury. At the time we gave back actual change for anything less than a dollar, so he would come in and buy a 25 cent item, and take the change repeatedly, until he had enough cash to buy cigarettes.
Almost all the scam based things I saw working in retail and/or grocery had to do with returning items for cash, whether they were stolen items or whether the ticket was altered.

OK, the guy who's never going to speak to Democrats again and who's going to boycot stores that accept food stamps... has been interviewed.

Elton John is a toughie. You know he leans left. But he made friends with Rush Limbaugh of all people last year. So, I give him a pass. Oh, and the Beatles had that classic "tax man." John Lennon's personal aide in his last few weeks of life, was interviewed last year, and said that he turned into a Reaganite in the last few months before he was killed. Isn't that ironic?
Lots of fun hypotheticals....
what a sad strange little man. everything so black and white. odd odd odd.
My boss left early, sometime in the last 30 minutes. His office is in another office building, so I have no way of knowing that. I just directed someone to call him and speak about something. Grr. Nice keeping me informed!
