What are you talking about? Social Security doesn't have any special program to pay for groceries, and there isn't any way for a checkout clerk to tell whether someone is collecting Social Security.
- chatterhead 4y agoI'm talking about talking to the people who you check out. People tell you stuff if you ask questions. Most offer it willingly. An old lady showed me her bank slip with $175k balance because her card wouldn't scan and she was embarrassed. The same people helping other people check out, the same people showing up on the 1st/2nd 15th/16th when government payments go out to buy groceries. Disabled veterans who produce tax exempt cards are getting huge payments from the government. When someone says, "I just got my SS payment this should go through..." and they are under 40 it's ok to assume it's disability. Either way, it's a remittance payment. You are right. I am filling in the gaps with some assumptions.
