Today a guy approached me while in line to check out at the supermarket, axes me if I will be paying in cash. I say no. He pauses, then leans in really close and tells me that his car has run out of gas, that he needs some cash and would like to pay for my groceries with his food stamps card if I'll give him the cash. I repeat that I have none and wish him luck. He axes me again, more aggressively, so I say no again, more aggressively. He leaves, approaching none of the billions of others there doing their Thanksgiving shopping.
I did have cash, but I also had my daughter with me. With her there I didn't want to make any sort of deal that would probably lead us to meet the guy out in the parking lot where I hand him money.
Even though it's fraud I suppose, I wouldn't mind swapping cash for groceries- none of my business what the other person needed the cash for. Could be that the card was stolen and he wanted me to swipe it- dunno. I didn't make the deal because he was sketchy and pushy.
Would any of you made a deal like this?
