I agree with the broken system theory 100%. People are just over-educated animals and, if you start feeding them, you'll have to continue feeding them because, within a short time span, they come to be dependant or expectant of such things.
Still, I am floored that this kind of $ went through one small store in a day! As far as being turned away from any other assistance, I wouldn't know. I always just took the, "Get your arse back to work" approach...Thus far, it's kept the kids fed although not with 30 lbs of filets!
