My first job was at a ShopRite. I remember hearing all the people who worked at the Customer Service counter complain because the people would go there to buy junk food with food stamps and then use cash to buy cigarettes and alcohol.

You might be showing your age. That's what's known now as a "Fourty". Older generations might order a quart, but hardly anything comes in quarts now. It's all 40's.

Boy this thread has taken many turns.
I have seen many things I think are wrong, several weeks ago about a woman in front of me buying small packages of chips and other single servings for lunches (I assumed) when a wiser choice would be a large bag and baggiies.
Paid with food stamps
Another woman impeccable nails painted with little designs had two purchases one for food with food stamps the other cigarettes and beer with cash.
Lastly a guy in front of me at 7-11 was complaining about all the folks buying lottery tickets. I told him I keep telling myself it's OK, as the lottery is how we make sure the poor pay their fair share of taxes.
Maybe a mandatory course for welfare and food stamp recipients on how to wisely use money and food stamps.

It wouldn't bother me a bit if they changed it so that all they could buy were raw ingredients. Flour, sugar, baking powder, roasts, sacks of potatoes, sacks of rice, raw veggies, etc.

It's actually "forty", not "fourty".

Even if I wrote that out for forty days and fourty nights, I'd still get it wrong.

Looking back on my posts I noticed I (maybe a little) was very swayed to one side without too much experience on the other side of the fence. Union is what I enjoy and is working for me now. I enjoy the skill I am gaining and the craftsmanship I get to show in my work daily. It appears there are many that enjoy working non-union which is their choice. Whatever works for you.

When I was a worker open shop I wanted in the local but it took 8 years, I finally relented and came in as an R (residential) worker. But in 2 years I became an A journeyman. I did this not for olitical reasons but for monetary reasons.
I have always felt from a workers point of view you have to (usually) work 40 hours a week, 50-52 weeks a year for 30-40 years, why not take home the most money and best benefits you can get for all that time?
