Thanks for the link.

I see the confusion now.

When you said “EBT Cards,” I thought you meant people were using “Food Stamps” at fast food restaurants.

No - they are using their “EBT Cash” benefits, not their “Food Stamp” benefits.

In other words, instead of going to the ATM, withdrawing cash, then going to Burger King, they just go straight to Burger King, and Burger King is their ATM.

A lot of people - probably a majority - do not receive cash benefits.

They only have Food Stamps on their EBT Cards, nothing else.
