Before EBT, dirtbags would structure small purchases to get maximum change. Then tbey’d pester people outside the store to do it for them. Enough pocket change, and they could buy cigs or beer. There’s a guy walking the streets, today, that stabbed a couple of people (one fatally) for refusing to go along with his little scheme. Probably some retailers that would oblige by buying Food Stamps at a fraction of face value. Now, with EBT, they fo yhe bottled water scam. Buy cheap water, dump it out, and get the cash deposit on the bottles.

We could use Mandami’s formula-the government run grocery store. Just rice and beans for those on food stamps. The regular stores shouldn’t accept EBT cards.

I’m glad it’s a Kennedy that’s doing this. It takes the racism charge out of it.

Now the scam is gift cards. If you have ever been in a Dollar General or other such store you will always see a large wall exclusively for gift cards. A HUGE section with dozens of different types of cards.
Wow, whoever knew that people on the dole were just soo generous!
They actually are not. They are buying gift cards them buying the things they can’t with the snap card.
