While this seemed like a true story, I noted a flaw. Social Security
disability payments are made on the 3rd of the month, not the 1st.

That might be true of the Federal government's program, but not necessarily
true of state disability and food assistance programs. The OP was only
relating what he was told by the store manager. The point that was being
made were these people were on some kind of government assistance because
they were too fat to work.


The whole story could be bogus. When was the last time you saw a store with
TEN scooters?

I have seen one store similar to the one that the OP described that had
quite a few scooters, but alas I did not count them. I would not have been
surprised if the store had ten of them.
