Army personnel Patrick Gibson was at his local Walmart when he noticed the two shopping carts of the couple in front of him.
Gibson took photos of the grocery carts and posted a collage of photos on social media.
He captioned the post: “The picture you see on the left is the amount of groceries including diapers that I was able to afford this pay period for my family.”

Gibson then responded: “Let’s just call it what it is. We can all sit around and believe in sunshine and rainbows saying the old don’t judge a book by its cover crap, but the reality of it is that so so so many people are abusing the system that was put in place for struggling families. If we can’t even acknowledge that there is a problem, then how can it ever be corrected. And a brand new car as a gift? Really? If they have friends or family with money like that, then its a shame they still need $800 a month in food stamps.”
