Here's what Mittens et al do to the dumbed-down American asshole. Way to go, Kroger manager.

Mocking a woman for using food stamps.

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. -- A Warner Robins woman wants an apology from a Kroger manager who she says disparaged her for using food stamps to pay for her groceries.

Cindy Nerger spends 12 hours on dialysis every day. She's been on a waiting list for a kidney transplant for five years. She's the caregiver for the grandmother who raised her.

Since Nerger can't work, the family relies on her husband's income, but he works only part-time so he can help her.

Late Tuesday night at the Kroger off Watson Boulevard, Nerger went grocery shopping.

What a humiliating experience! And they offered her a $15 gift card?!? Cheap bastards. No doubt thinking she was poor and could easily be bought off.

I'm glad she didn't accept their lousy offer. Let those bastards sweat. I'd call a lawyer.

No apology, just a $15 gift card, and they transferred the asshole? Yeah, I'd be pissed, too.

A lot of working people are on food stamps, fuckwit.
