As others here have said, these people have delluded themselves into believing this fuckery is "common sense" and they're "not afraid to speak the truth" and the message needs to be sent that NO, it is still not socially acceptable, nor is it "true".

Getting her ass chewed by management might be enough to bring her back to reality, especially if she's very young like I'm assuming.

I don't fault you for not saying anything though. When you want to go home, you want to go home.

Her name should be somewhere on your receipt.

That may sound vindictive or petty to some people, but really it isn't.

I'm on EBT myself, and although I'm not Mexican or an immigrant, I AM non-white and subtly get accused of "not needing it" because I have no disabilities and no children.

I'll be damned if I spend my money in a store, where that behavior is accepted, and I'd let management know it.
