“Alcohol may not be purchased using SNAP. A transaction of that sort would require a corrupt retailer scanning the wrong barcode or something like that. They wouldn’t get away with doing that for very long.”

You can’t be serious. You are living in a fantasy world. People buy cigarettes and alcohol all the time with EBT cards. There are many ways to get around it. As a matter of fact a clerk was fired for not selling cigarettes to an EBT customer.

EBT cards are used at strip clubs and casinos too.

You’re confusing the EBT TANF benefit with the EBT SNAP benefit. Seems to be a lot of that disease going around FR.
