So how exactly does this EBT thing work? I might just hop on that system so I can eat good steaks and seafood dinners

You can’t use EBT at restaurants - so I’m not sure what you are asking

“Gimme 10 pounds of crawfish.” Whips out EBT card.

if it’s boiled crawfish (already cooked and hot) - then that is not an allowable purchase

Report the store

It’s been allowed on multiple occasions in the past.

---

after disasters like hurricanes or floods, hot foods can be purchased with ebt for a limited amount of time

But it’s not a usual item, it’s not supposed to be, and the store can be closed for that

Yeah, these are the occasions I’m referring to.

There was a time in my life when people on govt assistance kept it to themselves.
Nowadays I get on my local community Facebook page and it’s people openly discussing being on welfare, food stamps and Medicaid. And what’s worse, they act like it’s just part of life and they are completely entitled to it. Just friggin crazy

well, the parishes that were hit hard for Ida were allowed to get hot foods for a while, and a lot more people can get them when there’s a disaster

But ebt for hot boiled crawfish is usually a no-no

No it wasn't

Yes it was. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been buying boiled crawfish.

Then one of my “friends” (I have no fricking idea who she is) posts a pic later in the day of her eating a steak at some fancy restaurant in Mobile, AL
