You can tell the EBT sorts because they separate out the wine and dog food from the ribeye steaks. Anyway quite some time ago I was immediately behind a BF who paid for some steaks and some other stuff on the EBT and the wine and cigarettes with cash. Nails about 2 inches long and a paint job on them like a custom hot rod. I only had one item and was also not far behind her in the parking lot. She got into a new Mercedes 2 seater with the groceries she paid for with my money and drive away.
I got into my 17 year old Camaro and likewise drove away, the difference being I paid for my own groceries (and hers)
I was on welfare in 1970. Two kids and wife. We had little and I worked a few cash deals, but no jobs. Never ate so much steak as we did on food stamps. We had two back payments when the welfare folks said we were underpaid. Bought a color TV and new fridge.
” the difference being I paid for my own groceries”
That’s what i said to another idiot in line 2 years ago. The clown was holding the line because the clerk said he didnt have enough money, and he wanted the clerk to call the state office to CONFIRM IT.
I was having a really bad day back then and I just blew it “Hey a**hole, next time dont hold the line for people who actually worked for their money and step aside”
The entire line nodded..
