“Most of my customers “make” more on food stamps a month than I make working full time.”

The average food stamp benefit per household in 2011: $284
The highest average food stamp benefit per household (by state): $679 in Guam/$335 in California (if only including the contiguous US)
The lowest average food stamp benefit per household (by state): $236 in Oregon
The average food stamp benefit per individual in 2011: $134
The highest average food stamp benefit per individual (by state): $216 in Guam/$147 in California (if only including the contiguous US)
The lowest average food stamp benefit per individual (by state): $115 in Minnesota
Assuming you work a 40-hour work week, you would probably work 160 hours a month. If most of your customers make more on food stamps a month than you do, this would mean that you make somewhere between 71 cents and $4.24 per hour, or a salary of $1368 - 8148.
I don’t think that’s legal at a grocery store. Even servers make more than 71 cents per hour…they also make tips, too.
BOOM!
