I am a supermarket mgr. and I see the abuse and corruption. One guy came in celebrating that he just got his first EBT/Food Stamps. He got the normal $350.00. He bought $325.00 worth of candy, ice cream, cookies, pies, cakes, Deli food, pastries, donuts, and frozen sweets. He bought no meats, vegetables, produce. I see Diabetes coming for him. Many sell food to other people for 50% on the dollar to go back in for cigarettes and beer. Many return packages of [their] damaged meat to favorable cashiers for cash for cigarettes and beer.

Many will buy a shopping cart full of meat and sell it for cash.

Actually heard one woman say "I can't stand paying cash for food".

Well, welcome to my world, bitch.
