Food stamps are for lazy assholes.

I work in a grocery store, which means that we have to deal with a lot of useless assholes during the course of a day. Most of these assholes buy their food using their EBT cards (I don't know what EBT means, but I assume it means that you're too lazy to find a fucking job, or you're just screwing the system over because you have some grandiose fantasy that the system owes you something.) Most of these people are also drunk or on meth. I know this for a fact.
Our store has a coffee bar in the front of it, and because the coffee bar operates on the same system that the store uses, these food stamp people are allowed to use their food stamp cards to buy drinks. Only cold drinks, mind you, but I have a hard time believing that anyone who doesn't have a job deserves anything other than the bare minimum, which means food, water, and a roof over your head. That means that you don't need to be spending your cash on anything other than food to feed yourself and your family. To use this money that the government has given you (out of my paycheck, of which I lose about a third to taxes) to spend on food, you instead choose to spend it on 9 dollar cups of coffee because you have, essentially, no morals.
Let me clarify. I do not mind that my store is making more sales from these people. More sales mean more hours, and I like that because I am a lowly clerk and, due to that fact, am in constant fear of having my labor hours cut. But the fact that the government allows this kind of misappropriation of federal funds is simply sickening. To give you an idea of what kind of people are spending your tax dollars on overpriced coffee, I'll simply take two seconds to google "homeless man" on google and link the first image that I see. Here it is:


This is a pretty accurate depiction of about 90 percent of the customers that come in, most frequently during the first week of the month. Now, here's the problem: these people have jobs. I don't have an issue with the fact that they have jobs, so much as that they are on food stamps when they don't need to be.
Now, I make about 200 dollars a week. That's not a very decent wage for anyone who wants to live comfortably. I have to live with three people that I hate to my very core. But because of the housing market in my city, it's really my only realistic option.
On the 200 dollars that I make every week, I can afford to do the following things:
1. Pay rent
2. Feed myself
This is as much as I can afford. Every once in a while I will go and have a drink at a bar, but paying 4 dollars for a beer is simply not something I can afford to do in my financial situation. So I would like for someone to explain to me how these people think that they are allowed to have jobs, be drunk almost 90 percent of the time, and still be using food stamps.
I am not on food stamps, because I don't need to be. If I can pay rent and feed myself and occasionally enjoy a beer or two, there is no reason that I should be asking the government for more money.
If you are on food stamps and you're reading this blog, then I hate you for the following reasons:
-You have a computer. If you need money to feed yourself, then you should have sold your computer long ago, you useless waste of skin.
-You have internet access. If you can afford to pay for internet access, (generally 25-50 dollars a month) then you have enough money to feed yourself. And you are probably paying more money in a week for food than I spend in a month.

You're probably telling yourself "I got dealt a bad hand, and the government fucked me over." Yeah, you know what? The government fucks people over. Big fucking deal. Learn to live with it. Food stamps should be reserved for people who have no jobs at all. I don't mind losing a third of my paycheck if it helps people who are in need. I'd rather lose 90 percent of my wages if it went to people who were in need of housing and food, than lose 1 percent of it to self-important degenerates who think that they deserve something because they have been screwed by the government.

If you didn't skip to the end of this post to read why I hate people on food stamps, congratulations. You're probably not on food stamps because you know how to read polysyllabic words.

If you just skipped to the end of this post because you can't understand the meaning of "polysyllabic", you're probably on food stamps. And that's just one more reason that I hate you.

  1. Hm, just one tiny little issue with your rant that you should have been way to tired to write due to your hard, demanding job: You have to earn money to qualify for food-stamps. Whether it's earned wage or welfare, it doesn't matter, but there has to be money coming in. What the hell is your problem with people who actually work but still need help, and get it, because they qualify?

    And yes, while you mastered to squeeze out many polysyllabic words, which you probably had to Google in the "other words for big words" section, you made no sense.

    Oh, and yes, dick, I read your entire post, admired its fluidity, and laughed at your only big word. Cunt.

    1. The problem is you help your fucking self, you make what your boss pays you and if you don't like it or it isn't enough then it's your responsibilty to go find another job not equal out people who get paid less then people who work "full time" or over time" or even "mandatory over time" or just people who actually did something with their lives unlike assheads who collect a paycheck that I guess isn't enough and foodstamps and no you do not have to have a job to collect foodstamps, you just gave to have kids you can't afford to raise or even be depressed and in some cases or some states you just need to be a drug user

  2. Unknown and Jeff seem also to have missed (mist?) the point of the post. You're BOTH idiots, as is clear from your gratuitous misspellings and complete lack of punctuation.
