			2 cents for a grape?
			
			
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS 
At approximately 2:30 pm, September 6, 2012, I entered the Publix store on
Main St. in Gainesville , FL to pick up a few items. I gathered my items and
went to the 10 and under register to check-out. The person in front of me (a
white female, approximate age 35-43, fake nails, big braided hair do, clean
clothes, carrying a purse and a plastic drinking cup) put her purchase on
the checkout surface ONE GRAPE. 
Yes, that is correct ONE GRAPE. The cashier asked if that was all, she
replied yes. The cashier then weighted the GRAPE and told the women the cost
was $.02 (TWO CENTS), the women then pulled out her Food Stamp EBT card and
swiped it through the credit card machine, requesting $24.00 in cash back.
The cashier asked if she wanted the GRAPE, the woman replied no and the
GRAPE was put in the garbage can. The register recorded the sale as .02,
cash back $24.00. The cashier then asked if two fives would be okay because
was out of tens, the woman agreed and took the $24.00 folded it up and put
it in her pocket and left the store.
As the next person in line I asked the cashier as a tax payer what in the
hell just happened here she said she was on the clock and could not comment.
I then asked if I had actually seen this person purchase and discard a
GRAPE, then get cash back on her Food Stamp EBT card. The cashier responded
that it happens all day every day in their store. She also said that if the
person buying the GRAPE has it rung up over .02 they get mad and make her
reweigh it.
My next comment was to ask the cashier if she planned to vote in November
and she said she could hardly wait for 11/6/12 to get here as one tax payer
to another. I paid for my groceries, in cash, and left the store madder than
10 wet hens.
