Lazy people who never worked a day in their life....?

I have worked with lazy people who are over paid and don't care about anyone but themselves.  

I was waiting at a checkout queue once and noticed the chick treat this man (and his 8 year old son) like absolute garbage because the store credit the charity gave him to buy food with was 'short' a small amount of money. I didn't know what it was about, but looked away because I was embarrassed for him. Since then I have hit hard times and needed to use one of those cards as well. I worked my butt off and paid taxes for over 50 years, I was not embarrassed to ask for help. But I can tell you - people pick up on YOUR 'attitude'. And if I'm one of those people - I'll give you an earful. As Patty said - you don't know their circumstances!

I cannot comment on that.

Why focus on food stamps when the education bubble is being propped up by government backed loans? Is it because you benefit from that subsidy? There are so many similar examples I could use.

you don't know their circumstances

I'm a 24 year old female from England and I've applied for hundreds of jobs in the past and recently have been applying - only to be knocked back and rejected loads following the interviewing process! The employers came back with petty excuses and the jobs I applied for were in coffee shops or retail (offering training, may I add). Not like I applied for something that was well out of my sphere. 

And one job I had once, I got sacked from within a few days because they didn't think they could train me up in time/I wasn't picking the training up fast enough. It really is difficult now-a-days to land a job - and if you do - the security isn't there like it used to be. I get fed up of people whom judge others for not working - when in fact it is society whom does not even spare them the chance to so much as offer them a job! 

I have been told many-a-times by employers that I'd been unsuccessful due to "not having the experience", which is ridiculous. How on earth can anybody get a job if nobody is willing to give them experience?! 

And of course, after being rejected so many times, it really is demoralising and puts you off keep applying.

If the economy were fair we'd all be working 20-25 hours a week and nobody would need foodstamps or get rich by exploiting workers.

> buy pop and dump it out in the sink

I have no idea what that means

Actually to get food stamps you have to have proof of income. Often those " lazy" people are actually working 2 or more jobs  and still struggling. Put yourself in others shoes.  Don't judge. You have no idea what their lives are like. Be thankful you don't need food stamps. Not everyone is lucky.

Yes,but that is all they have to look for.

A life with nothing.No home.

You have a good life if you want it.

Yes it is frustrating. My wife and I had to pick up the garbage and trash from students in college who didn't have to work and they intentionally trashed out the cafeteria just to get even with us. But consider this - you are a hard worker and you will not be a grocery clerk forever. That is because companies need people who can be department managers and supervisors. Those are much harder for them to find than minimum wage clerks. If your store will not need one, someone else will need one.
