3 weeks out of any month and food is at its normal price range but come the week food stamps come out man food prices take a jump Wall street only dreams of having.19 years as a truck driver and I never really paid attention but now that I've become disabled because of job and I get food stamps it's like clock work prices go up as high as $3 dollars to more then that and it's disgusting that this company only makes the poor poorer.I understand free enterprise but this isn't that it's straight highway robbery with little of any concern if any for the poor as long as that 2 week old hamburger who's date has changed 3 times now and it's barely legal to sell gets sold to the desperate thinking they are getting a deal because of the BS discount on the tag,hell it's almost not good enough to give to an animal and don't say no because I know people who work there.But because I paid into social security and I get a check because I can't work any longer but welfare says my income is unearned so I barely get any food stamps,I still can't figure that outy income is unearned after I've paid it in breaking my back literally to turn around to be stuck up at a register at giant eagle,I thought price gouging was illegal because this is the only time prices get jacked so high we barely walk out with anything and it happens same time every month without fail.Think they care of people can make it or not?no because of they did why would you have arrested someone taking tortilla shells? Obviously the guy was hungry because no drug dealer wants 1 pack of shells,how much longer will we turn our backs on those who have nothing only to double the price so come the end of the month a family goes hungry because of corporate greed for less then adequate products,your going to throw it away any way so give it to save someone or a kid from going hungry.Its really sad and disgusting that after paying cash for 19 years I like so many others have to endure a total lack of respect to be looked at like I'm less then human because I have to use food stamps to only buy food that if not sold that day gets tossed out,and kids eat this crap it's a no wonder our nations children lack the proper diet because I do also due to no fault of my own.But wait they donate to the community,even if it's stale bread you give birds and donuts you can hammer nails in with,thanks so generous from a multi million dollar business.I pray that the powers that be will have a chance to experience the same thing,greed will be the dismantling of corporate greed and the line between eating healthy and what we buy during food stamp week is a very thin line and I hope to 1 day be in line to turn to see those who treated us like less then human in line to get the same treatment.If people could buy just the bare minimum to get to the next week then go and spend every last dollar on the same items except they'll be 3 plus dollars less and we could get more and show corporate that we to can play the game but come out with fresh food and more of it,the government should come in and fine these stores buy the thousands for this kinda pricing during the week of food stamps but even the government don't give a fat donkeys $#*! about the poor so maybe one day the tides will change,happy slopping.
