Food Stamp Card with No Money

What Would You Do? Food Stamps Scenario

What Would You Do if someone on Food Stamps
was out of money?

 Have you ever gone to the grocery store completely dependant on some sort of credit card, bankcard or food stamps only to discover you do not have enough to pay for your groceries? I have and yes it was more then a little embarrassing. Fortunately I also had a backup card to complete the purchase, but never the less it's like I felt every set of eyes in the store looking at me. It was a very humbling experience to say the least, but what if didn't have any other way to pay for my groceries? What if I was a mother of 4 young children and I really did need the food so my family could eat that day but the food stamp card was denied? What would you REALLY do?

This episode of "What Would You Do" sets up this exact scenario to see what people would do if they were confronted with this situation. A well kept lady with 4 kids that is also receiving food stamps to help keep food on the table. It's not surprising that many folks did step up and help the young actress pay her grocery bill and one man even takes out all the cash he had, keeps enough to pay his own grocery bill, and hands the majority of the money to her.

Food Stamp Snob Enters "What Would You Do Show?"

 It appears most people who can afford it did step up and help the young mother pay for her groceries. But what if another customer tries to make a scene and cut her down for being on food stamps in the first place? Would it be enough to tame the others from speaking up and still help her out of this situation?

 A Lady standing behind the actress is so busy talking on her phone you would swear she wasn't even paying attention until the lady on food stamps starts putting back things she desperately needs. Without hesitation she steps in and says "Oh don't worry about it, I'll take care of it". This is when another actor on the "What Would You Do Show" who is getting tired of waiting says " That's doesn't help these people, it really doesn't".

WHAT? Well if he was looking for a reaction from someone trying to do their good deed for the day he sure got one. The generous customer wastes no time in tearing right in to him saying "is it your money or is it my money"? She then proceeds to tear into him and make a big scene and turn the tables to embarrass him. It worked and left him speechless before John Ouinones makes his famous appearance which she instantly recognizes him.

The Moral of the Story: Do On To Other's as You Would Want Them To Do To Onto You!
