I've picked up groceries from Jewel for my brother who is quadriplegic. Just because I'm in a 1000 dollar suit, doesn't mean I defrauding the government.

I worked at a Jewel as a cashier for 3 years:

"By groceries I mean high-end items like lobster and steak, which they are clearly cashing out the card on and not shopping for food like everyone else. "

Is mostly an uban legend.

There is some fraud going on, but it mostly lazy people who get disability diagnosises and just live on $1000 a month. Sucks for us tax payers, but they aren't living high on the hog.
