Because it will show the masses how many people are on the dole. We used to have soup kitchens. You could “see” who was in line. You could “see” who went to welfare office to get food.
Now, the grocery stores get their cut of the action, the “people” get to decide that they want cheetos instead of lettuce, and no one knows who is on the dole and who isn’t.
If people could ID the food deliveries they would realize what a mess our world REALLY is.
Maybe they should designate a checkout or two as "EBT line".
