Had two whales at work make a scene. As I've mentioned before, I am a cashier at a grocery store. A few days ago I had these two whales come in. I assume they were mother and daughter according to how they talked to each other, but of course the daughter looked middle-aged. She was probably 17 or something.  I ring up everything and they use EBT. I have nothing against food stamps. My boyfriend and I were on them until he found a better job. However, when we knew we were running low on funds we found out how much we had and only purchased that much worth of food. We didn't find out we could only cover half the bill and hold up the whole line while handed half our shit to the cashier to put away, like these two did.  The mother goes to hand me the gallon of ice cream and the daughter shouts, "But we don't have ice cream at home!" The mother replies, "I know, but we need to get the price down." The mother slams her hand down on the side of the cart and shouts louder, "We don't have anything sweet at home to eat! Anything! They need to put more fucking money on the fucking card!" At this point plenty of people are turning to the stare, but the mother doesn't reply. She finally hands me enough to get the bill down and they leave. I seriously doubt they didn't have anything sweet at home.
