...wait behind a cart-load of steaks, snacks, and candy that whips out a purse FULL of Food Stamps to count out.

I doubt that has happened recently.

Most states have changed to EBT cards. It is electronic bank debit card tied to a massive data base. It is supposed to keep the purchases legit and cut down on folk selling food stamps for cash. Except the state picks up the bank fees. It is also supposed to get the “stigma” of being on food stamps to a minimum.

Not saying I agree...just ‘splainin’ how it is.
