I work in a food emporium as a cashier. Every other transaction was $400 and more.
And because it's the day before the day before Christmas, it was a circus with one customer after another. I had four customers waiting while I was checking out another.
The customer who really bothered me was making chitchat, but it really wasn't. She commented that she was paying $50 more this year because of "Biden". I said nothing. I reviewed her order. Over $400. A prime rib roast at $186. And she's crying poverty and it's Joe Biden's fault. You bet I wanted to say something. I tried the "sour grapes" mentality where I told myself I need this job and it wouldn't make a difference.
This is in a geographic location with lots of affluence and our store is where they go. She isn't the only one who believes this bullshit.
I couldn't start to pay for her order and she's telling me how bad our economy is via groceries.
