Army personnel Patrick Gibson was at his local Walmart when he noticed the two shopping carts of the couple in front of him.
Gibson took photos of the grocery carts and posted a collage of photos on social media.
He captioned the post: “The picture you see on the left is the amount of groceries including diapers that I was able to afford this pay period for my family.”
He stated that he works hard to make a living for his wife and two kids, and added: “The picture on the right is of the purchase in front of me in line. If you can’t tell in the picture there are 2 full buggies of groceries including such items like steak and some other very nice choices of food.”
“Here’s the kicker. This purchase was made in food stamps,” he added, stating that his problem wasn’t that they paid for $800 worth of groceries using an EBT card, but that he saw the person “move their big fold of cash out of the way” to get the EBT card.
He stated that he watched the couple load the groceries into their carts before loading them into the back of a brand new Hyundai Genesis, which he wrote was worth $15,000 to $20,000 more than his car.
