The wife works at a grocery store, so you know that she has seen it all, and tonight she said to me that a lady may be calling in on her tommorrow, so I asked why ? She said that she (the lady) has "wic" (a government program for mothers with children who are poor), and that "wic" is very picky now about what can be purchased and what cannot be purchased with this "wic".
Ok so the lady brought two gallons of milk to the counter, and wic only allows the milk to be store labeled or store brand milk, and not the more expensive brand milk (in which I dis-agree with such a policy myself), because it should not matter what type of milk that a person is buying for their children, just as long as they don't exceed the amount of gallons that is alotted/allocated for them in the program. Anyway the store only had one gallon of store brand milk and the rest was the more expensive brand milk. The more expensive brand milk won't ring up on the wic voucher, so it cannot be bought/purchased even if the person wanted to buy it with the wic voucher. Ok so here my wife and this lady stands, and the lady says to my wife, well what do you want me to do, because I need two gallons of milk tonight, and my wife said the only thing that she could do is get a gallon of the store brand 2% milk, but the woman refused and said that her children won't drink that milk, and so my wife said that she can come back in the morning to get the other gallon when the truck gets there if she can or wants to, but the woman again refused and said, there is no way that I am coming back up here to get my milk when the truck gets here, I need it tonight.
My wife then figured that she wanted my wife to ring up the other gallon at the store brand price, and then let her go with it, but her boss said that my wife did the right thing by refusing any such notion in the situation, because the lady could have easily been an undecover agent for wic. Next the lady pulled out a piece of paper and wrote my wifes name tag down, as if my wife had done her wrong in the situation, when she didnot do her wrong, and was just doing what these programs say do. I got plenty of stories to tell from my wifes experiences in this type of work, and people would be amazed at what goes on.
Personally as I said before, the wic should except any type of milk that the mother is purchasing (nutrition is important for children), but not to exceed the amount of gallons as is allocated fo a single family.
I thought the dems were for nutrition and health for the kids, but it apears with the way this is set up, it is all about the money spent by the government in this situation, instead of truly being about the nutrition for the kids in such a situation. Can you believe this, but the woman was wrong for getting mad at my wife in the situation, and it just showed her ignorance in the situation. If they (the dems) will do this against children (hold back nutrition at the highest levels), then what will they do with the old when it comes to their health care and such ? Can we say death panels are on the way? I think we can safely say that it is true. I mean these are children they are denying nutritious milk to, and are forcing these mothers that are on the program, to buy the cheapest milk they can buy for their children or not have any milk at all. This woman should have been livid at the government, but she instead was mad at my wife for not cheating the government for her in the deal, and then she thinks she can cause my wife trouble for not doing so.. I feel sorry for people ya know...
I never complain. I think we are our brother's keepers and our white southern christian brothers are in need of dental care, edumacation, sex realignment surgery, and electro shock therapy. I say we foot the bill
