Overheard in the grocery store today....

[Ohiogal]

I was in the canned food aisle. An older couple shopping nearby. The woman says "Maybe we should by a couple of canned things for the food drive." The man replies, "I already feed the poor. It's called paying taxes."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. UGH.

I second your emoticon.

[Ohiogal]

3. These two surely don't practice

"Compassionate conservatism" ..... if there is such a thing.

[Wounded Bear]

7. Compassionate Conservatism is the epitome of an oxymoron...

[Fla Dem]

8. Well to be fair, the wife had the right idea.

[llmart]

23. Yeah, but she was sort of asking his permission.

That's the part I hate.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Yup,got to love those Trump voters.

Stupid people have no clue!

[Ohiogal]

4. I find that most of them

are very selfish.

10. This is from last Saturday.

History: Our Mail Carriers do a food drive a couple times a year. They have printed paper bags that are put in the Mail Boxes on a Monday with the coming Saturday as donation Pickup day. Our Mail Carrier is a hardcore Dem and last Saturday I met him at our Mail box. Bob has been on this Mail Route for six years and his comment was,you sure can tell were the Trump Voters live,zero donations,couple had put smart ass comments on the Paper Bag and put it back in the Mailbox. In our circle,only the new moveriners from Cali and Us were the only Contributors.

Bob has over two hundred mail stops in our part of the Community,looked like he had maybe a dozen donated bags.

Should not be surprised,our Community was the one that elected Michele Fiore to the Vegas City Council by 800 votes.

12. That's just awful.

I always make sure to put some food in the bags the mail carriers bring us for their food drives. You can buy some nutritious things (canned pork and beans, veggies, spaghetti sauce) without spending a lot. I can't believe anyone would write a smartass comment on the bag and put it back in. Really disgusting. Our generous right wing "friends" ..........

13. My bag didn't get picked up this year.

When I went out to set the bag out, I thought about putting in my mailbox and putting the flag up. I have a huge mailbox but the top is rounded so I couldn’t put the bag up there. I looked up the street at my neighbors box and she put hers on the ground in front of the post for the box. Since I’m downhill from her, I decided to do the same thinking that it would be good to be consistent.

They didn’t pick it up. Next year I’ll put it in the box.

[Ohiogal]

14. That's too bad

I did the same as you, set the bag on the ground because the jars of spaghetti sauce in my bag wouldn't fit in my mailbox, and my mail carrier did pick it up, I saw him do it. Did your mail carrier pick up your neighbor's bag?

[MissB]

17. Yes!

Hers was gone. I was Home working in the yard all day but I didn’t go down to the mailbox for a bit when I heard him drop off the mail. The box is out of sight of my yard so I couldn’t see that the bag was still there until I walked over to it.

Our bags are plastic and a nice yellow color so they are pretty visible.

15. Sorry to here that.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Mine didn't either, same as last year.

I don't know why, since they left a bag for me, but on the day of the food drive they delivered my mail but didn't take the food I'd left, which was on my porch right underneath the mailbox. So I took it out to the Second Harvest facility and explained what happened - they were happy with my donation and said to ask about it at my local post office.

21. I picked up groceries for that last Friday on my way home for the pickup on Saturday

I brought the card with me to the store and got cereal, canned fruit and vegetables and tuna - and I added several cans of soup that I already had at home. The mail comes fairly early here and I stay up so late that I put it out by the mailbox just before I went to bed. Maybe I was just too early, but I looked up and down the street and didn't see any other bags. It was the same last year, too.

[Wellstone ruled]

22. Sorry to here that.

One of our Relief Carrier''s is a Trumper. So Friggin Funny,sorry to say,when he is filling in for Bob,won't engage in conversation with the Guy. Just can not do Stupid.

[shraby]

5. I'd be willing to bet that he would take any discount for seniors that were offered.

[Ohiogal]

9. Because "he's entitled to it"!

6. It's weird how you never hear...

"I already work in building roads and streets. It's called paying taxes."

"I already fund a retirement account. It's called paying taxes."

"I already give to the police. It's called paying taxes."

"I already work in military logistics. It's called paying taxes."

"I already paid my dues for a Mar a Lago membership. It's called paying taxes."

[LenaBaby61]

11. They'll be part of that poor ...

The guy is mocking not if but WHEN their health insurance premiums, gasoline for their car, Food prices et all goes up unless they're part of that 1% who all of those tRumputin/GOP tax cuts for the rich is FOR. As of this week, everyone I know will be experiencing increases in our health insurance premiums. Some as early as June 2018, some of us in July 2018.

[Wellstone ruled]

16. And those Premium increase are plain

obscene . The Nurse Daughter works on a Contractor,she just got her new rate due on June 1,38%,now that is theft by swindle.

19. I hate cheapskates!

The wife seems to be a good soul - The husband is a cheap son-of-a-bitch!
