I hate to go out around the first of the month. Here are the places that I think should be avoided if at all possible around the first of the month:
1. Post Office - Good grief, there are people there an hour before it opens to get their check! And then they go to the bank and cash their check...not caring that they have to pay $15.00 to cash the check if they don't have an account....and you can bet that they don't have an account, because heaven forbid the government find out how much money they actually have. And then they go happily back to the post office for a handful of money orders...once again paying extra because they won't have a bank account to write checks on.
2. Any grocery store.....where they buy soft drinks by the car load with the government issued food stamp card; and these soft drinks are promptly sold to local convenient stores for cash. They use this cash to purchase "items" that can't be bought with a food stamp card.
3. Walmart - Well, they just can't wait to go to the Walmart and blow all their money. Heaven forbid they park in a marked spot....nope, they are so sorry they pull right up to the door and block the entrance. And forget about them having enough sense to place their carts in the cart bin...they just leave them in the parking lot to bang into cars.
4. Dollar store - don't even think about it
5. Any fast food place....boy they can't wait to get out and spend $100.00 feeding the whole family at a fast food place...big time out, never mind that grandma could sure use that $100 for her meds since her medicare allotment has run out..
6. Doctors office - gotta activate that card and get their meds.. Young, healty people who have never lifted a finger in their life to work, and they are handed everything. Old people who need medical attention and meds can't get it.
First of the month............nuff said......just stay home!
Like I said, you need to right a column in the paper. Stay away from the Manchester Enterprise as that could be detrimental to your health so maybe the Lexington Herald!!. You are sooooofunny. I look forward to reading your blogs.
