One thing I’ve seen is people using food stamps to buy bottled water, and then empty the bottles onto the street and turn them in for the 10 cent deposit refund. Quite a waste of taxpayer money.

And buy a half pint of the cheapest vodka with the deposit refund. They dump the bottles in the store parking lot.

That really would be dumb! At least dump the water into empty gallon jugs, so that you can have some water.
