While waiting in a checkout line at supermarket
I was looking at various stuff around me to kill the time. Amid my glances I
noticed the ladies in front of me and in the next line over were using EBT
cards, aka food stamps. It wasn't strange seeing people use the card, but
rather seeing so many people use it. From what I saw, at least four out
of five people were using it. Thinking I was missing out on something, I
looked at the lady in front of me using her card. When she noticed she
had this panicked expression on her face, hurried up her transaction and
quickly walked away.
Everyone knows what's going on lady, so no need to act so sneaky.
Besides, if you didn't want anyone to know you were gaming the system why did
you apply for it in the first place? How did so many people qualify for
the card in the first place? Aren't there prerequisites? It seems
as if anyone can easily qualify if they shift their assets around and out of
radar.
For those that actually do need the assistance, there's no shame in using the
card. It's much better than starving.
