bent,

I don't know that for sure, but I do know that once a month (I can't figure out which day), there is a MASSIVE stampede at my Costco. And now, when I see it, I just turn around and it's out through the in door. I do not have time for excessive lines. I am not a cow. I do not moo.

Just at my local Blockbuster. That place will soon be dead, dead. Some clown takes up ten minutes in line with 6 movies that are 6 days late and he wants to use some coupon to pay part of the late fee. I can do some complex math. I had no idea what this clown was doing, but it took two Blockbuster employees to resolve it.

I bet he never ever misses American Idol and he has no clue that Bernanke is fxxxxxx him daily.

They do take them. Are they blue with a fancy scrolled border? I've seen something like that while in line, but I could not get a good look at them.

I'm telling you, one day a month, my Costco is a wild zoo of crazy people 12 deep with every register going full steam.

Never, ever again. I'll go hungry <g>

That's because no one uses actual food stamps anymore...it was too "demeaning" for those who used the benefits. Almost all states use an EBT Card now:
