That hungry

My aunt is never happy when she had to wait in line, and people who try to squeeze in front are a special sore point with her. One day a young man at the supermarket stepped up to her just as she reached the checkout counter. "Mind if I go ahead?" he asked. "I just have this one can of dog food." "Goodness, no," she said, " If you are that hungry, go right ahead!"

I would like to know why my aunt think a young man is that hungry.

Greetings, your aunt's remark was made sarcastically. By saying that she implied that the young man was so impertinent because of hunger. Therefore, he would surely eat the dog food he bought in the shop.
