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.

Another thing pointed out on the radio talk show I alluded to also pointed many lobbyist behind relaxed rules on what can be purchased are from junk, snack and soft drinks companies.

The Food Stamp program has little to do with helping the “poor” and everything to do with paying out big money to agricultural businesses. Just try to curtail any program or subsidy that benefits farmers or big ag businesses, and you will see so-called conservative lawmakers fight it tooth and nail. Most government programs benefit the wealthy and toss crumbs to the poor. The liquor and cigs are updated versions of bread and circuses.

EBT cards were created to get around the fact that one was limited by food stamps.....just our government making it easier for freeloaders to get their hands on our money.
