Because nothing says you need other peoples money to keep from starving to death than using a luxury, overpriced, home delivery service for food.
I don't use this service (as others I know) because it's over priced!
I bought like 5 lb of cherrys today for $1.99 on my money.
Do I need cherries? No, but I like them.
You have red herring too?
You have to wonder? The government is paying them to have babies. The government gives mothers free food, housing, furniture, diapers, cell phones and fuel credits.
Irresponsible behavior is rewarded.
Yes, I know. Why shouldn’t someone on food stamps be able to buy bulk food from Amazon?
Should they reopen the soup lines?
It’s just another place to buy food without getting beat up or robbed.
Your problem is not that they are using Amazon, your problem is that they are on food stamps. Put put more succinctly, it’s who is on food stamps.
Go back to bed old man.
The bearded White dude wearing the Bluetooth Headphones while looking at his iPad is definitely an EBT user.
How else will they get a ten bag of Cheetos on your dime?
So? Many FReepers get the full use of FR for absolutely FRee...when they start ponying up, I'll worry about Amazon discounting prices to folks...
I suspect I'm younger than you, and that you are a nasty person. But that has nothing to do with food stamps should not be used on luxuries like home delivered anything.
I am not nasty. I am a nice guy.
Seriously, have you gone on Amazon and checked out the prices? And for Prime members and for some purchases, the delivery is free?
Honestly, why do you care how it gets in the home?
I had people who worked for me who got EBT. They worked hard. They worked the shit hours no one else wanted. ( At a hospital). But they had several kids, and making ends meet was tough.
And they were white with either disabled or dead husbands. These were the people EBT is made for. You are telling me that having a box of Mac and cheese delivered to the home for free is a hardship to you?
Why does this bother you so much?
I believe some ebt card recipients only get SNAP while others get a cash benefit too.
