E! News anchor Catt Sadler quit after finding out her male co-host made almost twice her salary for doing the same job. After trying to negotiate with NBC, she claims she was denied equal pay. Jennifer Cunningham, Senior Editor at Bossip, joins Cheddar to discuss the growing problem of the gender pay gap. E! News released a statement saying, "E! compensates employees fairly and appropriately based on their roles, regardless of gender. We appreciate Catt Sadler's many contributions at E! News and wish her all the best following her decision to leave the network." Many actresses in Hollywood have stood with Sadler and expressed their admiration for her taking a stand. Cunningham says this gender pay gap issue isn't just in Hollywood and urges women to talk to their superiors. She says it's not about what management thinks a woman deserves, it's about the work she does being reflective of the money she makes to do it.

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
