Food Stamps... in College

This is an open letter to all you cashiers,
 
       Please don't look at me like that. I'm sorry that I'm poor. I've been paying into the system since I was 14 though, so I don't feel so bad that I need food stamps while I'm back in school for a few years.
Now here's the deal. I see the look you give me when I buy something sweet, like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups or GF cheesecake, but you know what? I need a treat once in awhile, and seeing as I'll never be able to eat my favorite food ever again, I don't want to have to feel bad when you swipe my card.
Imagine not being able to eat Subway or bread--real bread--ever again.
So take it and shove it cashiers.
