I find it absolutely incredible that people believe this.
It’s not SNAP, it’s one of the other welfare giveaways that working people are forced to give to.
The cashier was merely mistaken. She doesn’t need to know where the money came from.
It came from you and her, that’s all that matters.
I think the cashier was simply observing that things were changed so that both types of benefits are accessible from the same card now. The cashier does know which program any given transaction is coming from.
For food stamps, there should be a special store just for them. Staples only, beans, fruit, vegetables, meat, rice, bread, milk, juice, etc. No processed foods, no premade frozen dinners, just ingredients and basics only, and their card can only be used at these stores. Be good for everybody as they can’t buy junk, or tier one cuts of steak and lobster, but also working folks like you and I won’t have to get stuck behind the 400 lb woman with her gaggle of screaming morbidly obese 8 year olds.
