It was WIC in 2008. That was probably still coupons.
WIC only went to EBT recently, and it still also uses paper vouchers, like checks, iirc.
WIC does require a nutrition risk analysis.
A couple of months ago, I was in line at Walmart behind a woman with a LOT of WIC coupons. Not the card, coupons. She wasn’t careful and had chosen some things that weren’t the right items. Wrong cheese, etc. I know these things list the allowed item in detail but she didn’t bother/too dumb to read, something. She was black, and the cashier and CSM were all black, and they decided to amble slowwwwwly back to the back of the store and shop for her. I objected. Stupid little beotch said because I objected, she was going to make me wait. I asked for the mgr and she said it again in front of the black woman mgr. Thankfully that one didn’t practice racism and very gracefully got the woman to walk away, although she left a half buggy full of WIC food for them to put back.
She actually threatened to call the police on me. I laughed and said GO FOR IT.
