Lady comes in, buys $10 of groceries and gets $100 CASH back using her EBT card. Goes to another checkout line and does the same. Rinse, repeat. The checker telling me this story was new on her job when this happened. On her break she tells her manager about the EBT lady. The manager said there was nothing they could do about it, i.e. it's within the rules. This was a few years ago so perhaps it's changed but I doubt it.
