heferlump's food card declines in food shop and holds up the entire line So I'm tired and it's hot but I needed to go to the grocery for some wine and other things for my fiancee and my anniversary. I only had about 5 things in my trolley, so I went to a self check-out lane. There's only one in the shop, so I didn't think anything of it until I saw it. In front of me there was a planet of a man with a standard ton of junk in his trolly. I'm talking  full up with sweets, fizzy-drinks, and junk food.  Now, like I said, I was tired as hell so I didn't really mind standing and waiting for him. It gave me time to read one of the news magazines where the queue is, and get my money out. At least I DIDN'T mind until this idiot's government food card wasn't processing his purchases. He called one of the workers and they must have swiped it 10 times until she politely told him, that it didn't seem to be working and that she could try ringing him up at a different register. He did not like this. After being rude to the worker, calling the attention of everyone behind me (if they weren't already giving him a death-glare, they sure as shit were now), he stated that he was just going to try it again and canceled his purchases. As irritated as I was I watched as he scanned all of his items AGAIN, meanwhile people are starting to queue behind me and are watching him as well. This time he put one bag of crisps to the side and, get this, some of the only items in this moon's cart that were ACTUALLY healthy- like fresh produce and healthier snacks (OK store-bought trail mix isn't the epitome of healthy snacks, but it's better than cheesy crisps IMO). Since I was paying attention this time, his order rang up to more than 70 dollars- 70 DOLLARS OF PURE GRADE-A JUNK. I honestly wasn't surprised, but I felt a wave of anger wash over me as I realised I was basically paying taxes and other things to help this lard get junk food.  He must have just not had enough money with the items he had taken out,  because his card scanned. He waddled away with his garbage, but not before turning to look at everyone behind him with a dirty look on his face and saying something under his weezing breath. It took about 15 or 20 damn minutes. Un- fucking-believable. Side note: I literally fill my trolley up to where his was with healthy food and it's the same price if not less, so I find it absolutely HILarious that a lot of fat's excuses for not purchasing healthy, actual, food is because it's 'too expensive'. I also think what he said under his breath was something akin to, "these things happen" and to "calm down" or something? Either way, no, these things don't happen because I don't leech of the gov. and then buy a trolley full of shit and then go to a fast lane/ self check-out aisle.
