My parents get food stamps legitimately and yes, when using it is kind of embarrassing. You are advertising to the world and very often the more well to do people (cuz it always happens that they’re the ones right in back of you on the checkout line) that you are in a hard financial situation. I don’t know. It’s not something that I want to advertise even though it might be known about my family.
We could be looking at it from the wrong perspective and if we are, please feel free to correct it but for now this is our feelings.
