Why so much anger towards people on welfare?

[Anonymous]

The cashier at Target basically told the customer in front of me, my register doesn’t not accept welfare money loudly.
It’s not the first time cashiers have try to embarrass people out loud.

Yep pp hit it on the nose. The cashier is mad because they are a cashier and needs to lord it over someone.

Americans take pride in you building oneself up while standing on the backs of others. Look at how we treat our elderly, how we treat those with disabilities, those living in poverty, etc..

At least the cashier is working and doing a job.

I'm not saying OP could be working but uses welfare as an excuse to not work, but there are absolutely many many people who are capable of working, but would rather be paid (via welfare) to not work.

There are of course some people who legitimately cannot work and need welfare.

Weird. I assumed most cashiers are on some form of assistance too. They don't make livable wages to where they could survive without some form of help.

This feels like a troll post, though.

Op here,
No troll. I worked as a cashier in college and I was not on welfare.

Everyone I know who gets SNAP benefits IS working. You have a greave misunderstanding of how government assistance works if you think people are out here living large on it in the DC area.

People are completely comfortable with the billions that the rich receive for welfare. They just hate poor people, so that's where all the anger is directed. Mad at the person getting $150/month in SNAP instead of the welfare/subsidies going to keep corporations afloat while the CEO's are paid record profits.

Maybe the cashier is familiar with that person and they try it all the time.

+1 People with EBT cards are allowed to buy food at Target. The issue was probably that the one register wasn’t processing them at that moment.

Like seniors and children who make up the majority of SNAP recipients. Meanwhile, able-bodied adults age 18-49 and without dependents must work at least 20 hours a week to receive SNAP benefits.

Literally no one is using “welfare” as an excuse not to work; cash welfare almost does not exist in the US anymore. Clinton (and everyone else involved) is going to burn in Hell for what he did to people via this.
