My daughter and I were behind a lady in the grocery line yesterday who paid with a foodstamp card. She was loading groceries in a Jaguar when we walked out.

This was not necessarily a food stamp benefit. In certain states, the "EBT" card is used to distribute various kinds of payments for services, such as foster care and guardianship.

hmmmm - Sort of like getting a “gift card”...maybe it was.
I don’t know what Texas does.
It just looked funny to both of us.
