    You must work in a higher-class area. I worked in a smaller, independent grocery store in the northern part of the state. My last day working was just a couple weeks ago (heading off to school) ,so have no doubt that people still buy junk with their food stamps. Countless times, some mother just gives the card and the PIN number to their kid, who in return buys soda and chips, candy, etc. There have been times where food-stamp recipients have enough money on their cards where they can buy T-bone and Porterhouse steaks, while the people walking the poverty line who don't receive benefits work overtime to feed their family. I can sympathize with the latter, but these instances have showed that the state should do something (But it won't happen until at least 2010)

    In my experience working at a grocery store for two years in high school I have many stories. People have soiled themselves many times, countless numbers of people smell horrible ( How do they not know how horrible their odor is?) Kids are constantly out of control, and the parents don't seem to care. Just the other day, I heard a two year old kid saying profanities in her stroller-where do you think she picked that up? In the checkout lane, checks are common and nobody can enter their pin right. It takes them two or three tries because they don't hit the buttons right. The cashier has to tell everyone what buttons to push on the credit machine. But, my biggest complaint is with the Wisconsin food stamp system. Now, this entrusts people who have made poor choices to spend hundreds of dollars on nutritious food. For whatever reason, the state lets people purchase soda, chips, donuts, energy drinks, candy bars-a lot of junk food. And this is exactly what people do. They spend hundreds of dollars on junk food. Sure, its solving one problem (hunger), but its creating another (obesity). Now, if the state were to restrict items purchased with food stamps, only allowing the recipients to purchase the staples-meat,bread,milk,fruits and veggies,etc. the system would be fair and effective. It's wrong to let people go hungry in a land of plenty, but its also wrong to let people gorge themselves on junk food on taxpayer dollars in these times of high budget deficits. We could be putting the money to better use-like educating the poor so we don't have this problem to begin with.

    The game is on TBS, so I'll be flipping back and forth between the Pack and the Brewers.

    Only the Brewers can load the bases with no outs and come up empty.

    Wouldn't a grand slam from Branyan be wonderful right here?
