Laz, I love you dearly, but you (and other FReepers) need to stop pushing that myth. Yes, strip clubs and liquor stores can accept SOME EBT cards, but not all. When what is now called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) was issued via a paper welfare check those same purchases were being made once those checks were cashed. Now they can be tracked electronically, but TANF is not the same as food stamps - which are also issued on the same Ebt cards.
I know, hon. I was just pokin’ a little fun.
Cash is cash and businesses like cash.
Say, they can track them better now with the EBT card...I’m wondering if I can lobby to get a new program started? Every time someone buys lobster to feed to their dogs, I get a lobster sent to me. Dittos for crab legs. Call it Seafood to Cyber Liberty (StCL). I’m gracious...I’m willing to accept one lobster tail for every two. I’ll pass on the shrimp, they can send those to the Humane Society.
I promise, no strip clubs or pole dancing. I will buy my own beer.
Who do I call? ;^)
