You may be right.

But the situations has deteriorated in our middle – upper class neighborhood and it directly correlates to the financial pinch.

I worked in a grocery store (Publix) for many years and sadly, formula is always stolen. It is also an ideal cutting agent for drugs as it is harmless and already the correct consistency. It’s usually not the people who need it stealing it. It’s people who either use it for drugs, or resell it at a lesser price than the grocery store. The thieves work stores and patterns and generally know when it is delivered and stocked. Then they clean it out.

I sure hope it doesn’t turn out that infant formula is an ideal cutting agent for illicit drugs that need to be water soluble! [not saying this is so!]

Middle class people cannot qualify for WIC.

In LA you need way more than the maximum WIC requirements to live.

And we can learn something from everyone, this person has actual information that I accept as fact, the conclusions are obvious.

I don’t know personally, but isn’t there WIC for formula? I don’t know if I would draw conclusions about society and poverty from the Ralph’s stockperson (although I’m sure he’s a lovely individual).
