I granted that, but EBT and the AG department have never allowed straight up purchases. Like I said if individual stores are doing it then its on the stores, not the program.

You can't go to a bigger grocery store and pull that off

If they run it as something else, then it's on the store, but you can't walk into Circle K and just ask for cigarettes and whip out an EBT card and its logged as Marlboro or whatever......keying it in maybe but most clerks are too lazy to key in anything.




Aint nobody going to these nice Circle Ks and doing that. We have a newer one near me, those places are actually nice. I'm talking about your bodega where dudes get shot selling cds outside.

Would you get offended if I mentioned POS? Do you even know what it means?

I thought EBT couldn't "legally " be used for anything other than food????

I know how to fix it, do away with all the freebies except for the truly infirmed. You have kids you can't feed, tough shite, go beg the church or other "charities" for food.

In the old days they gave them food such as beans, cheese, milk powder, flour, butter and other surplus commodities.
