Let me more specific so as not to offend, (insert eye roll) Convenience stores should not be places that accept food stamps.
I am certain that the Founding Fathers, and some of the idiots who believed they were helping when program was established, did not intend to be stroking checks to 7-11, JoeBlo’s Ez Stop, or the Drop-N.
Since we live in the twilight zone anyway, I guess it makes little difference.
Walmart is a liquor store here. So are they going to stop debt purchases there?
I am well aware that one rule leads to others, but... if the program is to remain, it should be for only specific items. (That also will bring out shiners and Exception Bullies)
Don’t worry about offending me.
“Convenience stores should not be places that accept food stamps.”
In some of the “food deserts” these are the supermarkets; there are no more suckers who would operate a supermarket due to “shrinkage”. Newark NJ a few years ago opened up a chain supermarket, and it was the first one in Newark in years.
“Walmart is a liquor store here. So are they going to stop debt purchases there?”
That’s a good question; as we continue into a “Wal-Mart” economy (where they’re the last business standing, the so-called “company store”), I’d think they could use those bar codes on items to weed out some of these purchases.
