: : How the cashiers all of sudden become judge & jury when it comes to people who use WIC vouchers or cash assistance.
: : I had twins, I was working full time in PGH, however, a family of 3 can make up to $25K per year and still be eligible for WIC. Formula for twins is $300.00 per month. WIC literally saved my fanny as we would have been seriously strapped without it. Luckily between raises & promotions, I no longer need anything like that.
: : However I do remember being treated very poorly everytime I used a WIC voucher. Cashiers were condescening and mean. Now mind you, I made more money than the cashier, I've worked all my life, I was 35 at the time and they were down right rude to me.
: : Don't forget that you may complain that it is your tax dollars that pay for things like that, but the tax dollars were also mine. I personally am sure that I've paid at least 4 times the amount of taxes than the 22 year old cashier, yet I'm being looked down upon.
: : Before making any judgements about anyone buying dog collars, pepsi's, whatever, know their story!!!
: Well I have a few things to say here. First off you said, “a family of 3 can make up to $25K per year and still be eligible for WIC” which would mean you and your twins make the 3. Where is the father and why isn’t he helping pay the bills? Second, if you knew you needed help feeding your twins, you shouldn’t of had them. That’s another problem, people having kids THEY CAN’T AFFORD so you come looking for help from the taxpayers. That’s crap. STOP HAVING KIDS YOU CAN’T AFFORD!!!!!!!!!! The cashiers should have been “condescending and mean” especially if you were making more money than them. They saw you as an abuser of the system. If you can’t afford your kids, find the father or get a better job, but get out of my pocket!!!
Never saw anyone so sore about not having kids and cutting down those that do, what is your real problem, spit it out honey...
