Costco Will Accept Food Stamps at Two NYC Locations
I see that there are a lot of ambivalent feelings about food stamps, since while it seems like a great idea to those who use food stamps, but since only they are totally knowledgeable of their conditions, it seems a bit unfair to those who don't use food stamps.
I think that it is unfair because I personally know people who abuse their powers with food stamps. The idea that they will receive even more for their money is just a bit offensive. I mean, I was pissed when the guy in front of me at the supermarket said that the reason why he bought so much food was because he couldn't spend all the money the government gave him.
I also understand that is not that case with everyone and as NYCEater said, many find it hard to survive on the money that the government gives them, but I don't think people are solely dependent on just the government's welfare. It's hard to believe that a person would live on only welfare and not have any other source of income. And if most single people receive what NYCEater claims is the average amount, I think that sufficient. I mean, there maybe people who really need that much, but I, myself, don't eat $200 worth of food alone.
And I also think that what JerzeeTomato meant by Costco being a luxury is that it is an exclusive store, where only members can shop. I'm not a member of Costco, since it's not worth it for my situation. And I don't think people should attack her because Costco is just a store. It's not like its the only place people can buy food. Whether or not they choose to accept food stamps or not, people with food stamps will still be able to buy food.
