A receipt allegedly found in the parking lot of a grocery store – and confirmed genuine by store managers – reveals a shocking level of luxury purchases made with state-provided food stamp funds.
The receipt from Angeli's County Market in Menominee, Mich., shows the customer used food stamps to purchase $141.78 worth of Diet Mountain Dew soda, lobster and porterhouse steaks.
The general manager of Angeli Foods, Mike Jankovich, acknowledged reluctantly to columnist John Schneider of Michigan's Lansing State Journal that the receipt was real.
"I've been hearing from lots of people about this," Jankovich told Schneider. "They're mostly people who don't understand how this can happen."
Jankovich insisted, however, that the purchase is technically legal under Michigan's Bridge Card food stamps program and that his staff had no right to refuse the sale, even if buying live lobster and expensive steaks might seem a wasteful use of welfare funds.
Asked if the receipt surprised him, Jankovich said, "Yeah, it's usually not this blatant."

If I am to cheap to buy my wife lobster, what make you think I will buy yours???
The wifey looks a whole lot better in skirt and heels.
Pinto beans, vegetable oil, flour, cornmeal, soy protein, powdered milk - should be all you can get for free from the govt.
If anybody thinks they should get steak and lobster, we will have PETA sic 'em.

When I happen to end up at my local Crest at the beginning of the month, I have to wait in line at the meat counter while these types order pounds of crab legs and such. Not the "cheap" $7-10/lb snow crab legs, but the $15/lb Alaskan king crab legs. While I may have money to afford king crab legs for my family, I choose to spend my grocery money wiser and I go with a few lbs of chicken breasts and white fish.
Then again my grocery money also = entertainment money, bill money, etc. An ideal not really understood by the entitlement crowd.
