They were fine, but some friends of theirs introduced them to Oreos!
When I was a young poor person I NEVER bought soda. When I had my son my mom came to visit us and she brought me a present - a 6-pack of Tab. It was like gold to me and I hoarded it like an I don't know what.
To say that people should be able to buy junk food and soft drinks with their welfare money is ridiculous. It's like this dumb person who is a friend of one of my lefty friends trying to convince me that it's okay for her to buy pot while on welfare.
I feel for people who run into bad luck and need some help - heck yeah, let's help them. But dumbasses who constantly make poor decisions that put them in situations, screw those people.

When I worked at Kroger we would make crab spread out of cream cheese about to expire, the fake crab about to expire and some other stuff and charge more than the components for it.
I always advise don't buy any pre-marinated meat, that is put on meat for a reason, its to hide how bad the stuff about to go bad looks....and we increased the price.
My job as a college student that worked late was to collect the stuff about to expire from the meat and seafood and change the date on it sometimes, other times to put an increased price tag on it and then a $1 off sticker.
I wouldn't anyway because it's usually disgusting and only takes about 1 min to whip up a marinade.
Didn't Food Lion or one of them get busted trying to sell repurposed perishables that were about to go over? I seem to remember a 60 Minutes expose on it or something.
re-label it “Aged”

Food lion flat out bleached chicken, that report came out just before I started working at Kroger. They would also have me wash fresh fish that had developed a slime on it in the sink basin full of water and ice. The meat/seafood manager told me it was alright if we only used ice and water. Now that sink was never what I would call clean....

First of all, if the alleged right-leaning "influencers - read: grifters" are on the take, they're no different than the left, and they should be hung from the nearest tree.
Second, that's OUR money that's going to the terminally lazy (for the most part); not theirs. Government overreach would be telling people who earn their own money that they can't buy junk with their money.
It's not Government overreach to tell them what they can and cannot buy with the people's tax money; mainly because of the health costs that we ALSO have to pay.
Personally, I want the Government to tell the beneficiaries of the public largess what they can and cannot buy.

I just remembered something funny. A guy came in the store once and told me "those bbq chicken legs you sell are pretty good, but they weren't cooked quite enough". They were sold raw... Dude warmed them up in the microwave and started eating them.
They were actually one of the only pre-marinated things sold that weren't just aging meat.
RTFM.

I didn't tell him, I just said "I'll tell the guy who makes them" the guys in the back were rolling
Never ever underestimate how stupid people can be.
Local restaurants getting on board!
And just to make you hungry, here's their menu:
I LOOOOVE country fried steak. Reminds me of the Dixie Diner in Little Rock, AR.
