I know it didn't really come across in the post, but I didn't take the cashier's comments too seriously. In all honesty, I found the whole conversation rather humorous especially given the other items I was purchasing. I wish I could play it off as looking too young, but considering that she had to check my ID for the alcohol purchase I do not think that was the case.
One thing that does irritate me are anonymous comments. I do not mind opinions that differ from my own. In fact, I think both responses made good points. I just wish people were brave enough to attach their name to their thoughts. I have NEVER posted an anonymous comment to a blog. If something is worth saying then I had better be willing to stand by my opinion.

I agree re:anonymous comments. And I thought your post was quite funny, actually. ;)
I thought it was funny.
I also wish I'd still get carded buying beer.
I e-mailed you on Myspace. :)
Jen - email me?
Anonymous said that you didn't have to live below poverty level to receive WIC, but you would have to bring in less than $26,000.00 gross anually, who could survive on that? I would be offended if someone thought I needed that kind of assistance too, but would also see the humor in it as well. People need to lighten up!

Just to give you an idea... the $26,000? Yeah.. not much (if even) above it in much of my family. Depressed area & history of poverty = shitty chances.
Hub and I both feel a little like failures in the money making regard. It's pretty sad for two highly educated college graduates. (Hub has 3 different degrees (B.S., B.A. - gotten at the same time - and an A.S. gotten later) I have a B.S. and am hoping to get a grad certificate). I guess that's what you get for following the thing you really love doing. Chances are lots of other people like doing it too, making competition stiff and pay low.
Why I felt compelled to share that, I have no idea. Cheers!
I will put my name. It was a shallow comment and you are no better than anyone else. Stop acting like it!
