Woman filmed berating dad using ‘food stamps’ — and accusing him of being a Bernie supporter

video posted online last week purportedly shows an unidentified woman castigating a man in the checkout line at Walmart for using SNAP benefits, more commonly called “food stamps.”

The video, which was first noted by HotTopics, has amassed nearly 122,000 views since going online on April 24. The woman can be seen standing in line behind the unidentified man, who is at the counter with his child.

“I put in 50 to 60 hour weeks,” the man says toward the start of the video. “I’m trying to provide for my family.”

“You’re not providing for it, I am,” she replies. “The government is. They take it out of my check, bullsh*t they don’t.”

Those kids shouldn't have had to hear her filth, either. I hope she's fired.

I Imagine she's really missing the two cents in taxes she pays weekly for the aid of the working poor- is really hurting her nasty ass.

She should experience a few weeks unemployment/under employment herself.

You don't use stamps anymore, you get them loaded onto a card. She would have to be very nosey to know that.

Every person I know, who complains about shit like this, is plugged into some government program or another.


You especially don't do that shit with a self-conscious child present.

in this case WalMart.

Voting for anyone has nothing to do with it. The biggest recipient of WIC money is ultimately WalMart but food in general in the USA is subsidized so that prices are artificially low.
