We know the owner of our local Chinese grocery store. He recently put in tanks for fresh Alaskan King Crab - $40/lb. I asked: whose got the money for that??
He didn’t even look up and said “its all EBT.” then he motioned out the window to people just leaving his parking lot “like them.” It was a Russian family, getting into a Lexus SUV.
Good gosh. This is so infuriating.
I was wondering the other day if we could just say we identify as EBT card entitled.
We can demand to add our lobster tails and filets and champagne to the EBT card holder, in line ahead of us, bill.
We’ve paid for more of their ‘credit line’ than they have, so why not??
Infuriating.
