I recently witnessed an interaction about this.

Cashier at a supermarket is complaining about the previous customer buying “Luxury items” with the social credit card.

Mind you, those luxury items where not booze or expensive skin care products… No, there were not-the-cheapest brand of orange juice and milk.

The cashier reasoning was that if he can’t afford those things, poor people shouldn’t either.

So as you can see, they’d rather be angry with a mom buying decent food for their kids rather than asking themselves why everyone is getting poorer.

And yes, said customer was high on the color grading.
