Highway Robbery

I was in the grocery store the other day when I saw a lady (and I use the
term loosely) looking at a package of hotdogs that was like $1.49 or
something like that. Now take note that this lady shows up to buy things
only in the first week of the month, using her "EBT" food stamp card. She
saw the price, tossed it back in the wrong place, and said, derisively,
"Highway robbery." And I'm thinking, "No, highway robbery is what you live
on from the first of the month... to the first of the month." I didn't say
it, because I would suddenly be a racist (to finish painting the picture),
and probably get shot and/or arrested. The same person who on the first of
the month buys only T-bone steaks and soda and potato chips, and by the last
of the month is shoplifting. All the while tapping away on her i-phone.
Lady, buy some ground beef and canned vegetables, and kool aid. Sell your
i-phone. And if you think grocery prices are too high, stop stealing
groceries. Stop taking perishable items from their section and dropping them
somewhere else. Every time the store loses a product that they paid for
because of your thoughtlessness, they lose money. When they lose too much
money they're forced to raise prices. And then someone either steals it or
destroys it. What you and people like you are doing is highway robbery.
