Here in Victorville, California, there is a Supermarket named Vallarta, that caters to mostly hispanics and asians, a couple of months ago, I went there to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables(comissary’s produce sucks) anyways,at the register, was a female,with two kids, nice clothing and shoes, she paid with the EBT card, the total of $201.00 and requested to get cash back, I thought she is going to use a different card, well she used the same EBT and got back $600.00 her purchase total was of $801.00 on the taxpayer’s dime, I was pissed off, she spoke no english whatsoever, she carried a Matricula Consular(mexican Id card for Illegals) and nice clothing and shoes, well, when it was my turn to pay, my total was $21.00 and I requested to get cash back, using my ATM card from Bank of America, the cashier told me that the limit on cash back was $50.00, FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT!!!my own EARNED MONEY!!. Now i was really mad, and the cashier told me, I am so sorry, but that happens everyday here, I only make $250.00 every week, and cannot even get food stamps, my parents just loose their jobs and are living with me,so anyways, I followed the lady and the kids to see what type of vehicle she was driving, and it was a late model GM vehicle. Could anyone tell me what’s going on with our Country?
California uses the same card to load cash welfare and food stamps on. The computers at the grocery store can tell the difference, how much cash and how much food stamps are left on the card. She is getting all that, cash and food stamps because her bambinos were born here and are eligible for everything, even of she is an illegal.
I know, it makes me sick too but that is how it is done.
