I was at Walmart yesterday in checkout line, and the lady ahead of me had cart full of groceries and her total was more than $140. She tried to use her EBT card, but there were not sufficient funds in the account to cover the purchase. She had to use her credit card.
Ummm bet used the ebt with what was on it and the credit card for the rest.
I use mine buy what is covered under food stamps and pay cash/debit for what is not
I had the same experience a few years ago at my Walmart Market. The thing that really pissed me off was the gal was absolutely adorable, blonde tiny thing, in her 20s, looked like she had just come from the country club after a game of tennis. She had a baby and a full cart and was paying for it with a EBT card. Didn’t have enough on that cord so she had to use another.
“cart full of groceries and her total was more than $140”
I call BS. One only needs two plastic bags to contain $140 worth of groceries. A cart full would require a 2nd mortgage for most.
Rush used to talk about buying food at convenience stores with a credit card, when he was a struggling DJ.
