![]() Unfortunately some times it is not up to date and needs an override. Rating: 3- Their system is set up to recognize WIC items and only scan approved products. The cashiers (in my experience) are not knowledgeable in the WIC Program, they almost always have to call a CSM over to approve the transaction (and with all those tired people behind you in line, this always feels awkward to me). Rating: 1- The lines are usually very long (screaming baby). Stores I have not shopped at with WIC: Kroger, Aldi, Albertsons (if you have any tips for these stores I gladly welcome them) My goal today is to help you avoid making the same mistakes I made and to have a peaceful shopping experience. (we won’t talk about the 2 times I forgot my wallet with a cart full of groceries and a screaming child). You want to crawl in a hole and die as the impatient man behind you sighs and your baby starts screaming again… sound familiar? I’ve been there, more than once. After an exhausting 30 min of shopping and 15 min of waiting in line to pay, a cashier with a scowl on their face tells you this is not an approved size bread and calls for a CSM. With the folder in one hand and trying to sooth your screaming baby with the other, you accidentally pick up the wrong size bread. Now you are walking through the grocery store, sore with leaky breasts, searching frantically for the approved items on your WIC check. ![]() If you’re a new mom, you have enough challenges as it is.
