According to a talk radio program, with others waiting in line the clerk told the parasite if he expected others to pay for his cigarettes to which he said 'yes.'

Unfortunately, this is a normal problem. Those that have these cards are not necessarily poor but they do have the card to purchase extravagant items. The is just the way it is!

Until the Federal Government/Local Government actually cares about their expenses nothing will change. Changes will happen if the Federal Government stops payments and the State Government stops payments for illegal customers (used in a derogative sense).

So you realize that almost all of this will not stop - you would be a fool to expect otherwise...heh.

Too bad that this is our money...

The clerk should be promoted and get a raise for doing the right thing. EBT cards are for nutritional foods, not lobsters, seafood, top grade steaks, alcohol, junk food and especially cigarettes and tobacco products. The parasites, I love this word, are taking advantage of a good thing. There are generations of welfare recipients in this country and our idiot in chief is just giving more and more to the slugs.

The Clerk may have been technically wrong, but this is not a firing offense.

I hope The Boss loses his business.

He could have corrected her and let her stay on but NO he fired her for having a conscience.

NH shares some of the blame here - these are state rules that not only allow the use of NH-issued EBT cards for cigs but also for threatening the store if they don't accept the card for these products! Unreal.

The store owner is obviously an asshole willing to leach off taxpayer dollars just like the freeloading jackwagon.

The silver lining in this story is that he won’t be getting EBT cards much longer. Keep smoking away, buddy.
