Lone Star's a good program, although I hate that budget cuts always have them cutting benefits. People use that program, need that program and deserve it. What I resented, after I got through reflecting on the way I must have looked, was her automatic assumption that a slightly trashed out, very casually dressed couple must have been using the food stamp program. That was a stereotyping assumption. The folks I see who use the Lone Star card look perfectly fine, never trashed out at all. Now that I think of that, I should have said something to the Kroger manager. Cashiers need not to make assumptions at all based on how customers look. They just need to take money and be friendly and competent at their jobs.
