Crying in the grocery line isn't something you typically do, unless
you're going through a breakup or your cat died. But when Cindy Nerger,
of Warner Robins, Ga., went into a Kroger supermarket last week, she was
brought to tears when the clerk berated her for using food stamps.
According to Nerger, he held up the line
while other customers watched,
arguing over $10 worth of items he said weren't covered. When a manager
came and said to give them to her, he exclaimed, "Excuse me for working
for a living and not relying on food stamps!" at which point the
embarrassed woman broke down. Nerger, who had kidney failure in 2008,
can't work until she gets a transplant. She declined a gift certificate
the store offered with an apology for the incident.
