I've heard people say this before, but I don't think that smartphones are really much of a luxury item in 2013. You get one a year after it's new and it costs next to nothing if you're getting one of those new contract incentives.
The suspicious ones are the food stamp card using fucks dressed to the nines on a Tuesday morning. Worse, their toddlers will be half naked, snot rolling on their cheeks unattended. But those lobster tails in the cart take priority, dammit. Lucky them that their Escalade, Beemer 7 series, etc. has ample air conditioning as it sits idling in the fire zone.
Yeah, there are dickhole abuses. Blanket cuts, though, won't stop them...only punish the truly needy.
