Hi I am kimmik and I work retail as a cashier over nights at a big box....
I had one of my "favorite" type of customers.... so I thought it would be a good one to make my first post....
Now food stamps are not something that I don't begrudge anyone for using as everyone needs some help now and then.. it is those SC that misuse them and need a severe ass kicking for poor parenting that I hate .
Me-- cashier aka whipping girl
SC-- woman with 5 kids who are all up way to late and think that tearing up the store is fun
Me -- did you find everything alright?
Sc -- yeah whatever *starts to throw and I mean throw stuff on the counter*
the items are energy drinks, food items like shrimp frozen steaks , pez dispenser with candy, expensive water, etc.
during this her kids decide to use the rails by the carts as a jungle gym...
Me-- Ma'am could you please not let your children climb on the rails. They may get hurt.
SC-- For fuck's sake will you fucking brats knock it off so she will stop bitching and finish ringing my stuff up.
Me-- *bites lip and finishes ringing up the items.* Your total is 120 *it was somewhere in the 120s... cant remember exact price*
SC-- here *waves a food stamp card in my face* One of you dumb asses made it so it wont swipe.
Me- *politely takes the card and punches in the info* Ok ma'am your Cash total is 40 dollars.
SC-- I told you it was Food stamps why the hell do I have money still owed.
Me-- Well ma'am the energy drinks are not eligible for food stamps and neither are the pez dispensers even though they come with a little candy.
SC-- that is bullshit I can get them at x store on my card.
Me-- I am sorry ma'am but here they are not considered a food item. They really have no nutritional value.
SC-- then I dont want the damn things and you can keep the fucking pez too.
*at this point 3 of the kids begin to have a hizzy* I dont got fing money to spend on crap like that.
So I proceed to take off the items. To which she puts on the counter several expensive makeups. Wordlessly I ring them up and give her, her total... she then proceeds to pull out a wad of cash... and I mean a wad of bills not all ones and fives either. She proceeds to hand me a 50 dollar bill I ask if I should add the pez back on...
SC-- If I would have wanted them I would have told you to ring them up. I said I dont have money for that sorta crap there is more important stuff I need.
With that she got her change and herded her children with many expletives out the door....
She could afford 15+ dollar makeup but not 1.50 for the kids..

I get that kids can keep odd hours. My sis works odd hours and her three-year-old is up late at night and sleeps late in the day, pretty much in keeping with sis's hours. Hey, it happens. But shopping with the whole troop that late at night (or rather, the morning) and then screaming in such a horrible fashion....bitch is too nice a word for this woman. And yes, I'm sure it WAS the OP's fault that her card wasn't working. 
Nevermind that the cards themselves are crap. I swear, they stop working if you look at them the wrong way. 
Welcome!
