I think there should be a stigma attached to using EBT cards. They need to be blaze orange with the letters "EBT" as big as they possibly can be on both sides. I've watched people wield EBT cards at checkout counters and it's almost like there's pride of ownership to actually have a credit card to swipe. There should be no pride. Stigma would go a long way to prodding people to get off the government dole.
I'm sure most people that use those cards are embarrassed about it. Why would you further embarrass them because they are on hard times? They only receive it to feed their children.
And how do some of you notice what type of card the person in front of you use? As many times that I have grocery shopped, I never fixate my eyes on what card they use. I'm too busy placing my groceries on the counter.
I know you're busy creating jobs, Aero, but you really must stop posting here on the taxpayer's dime. Get back to work. Exploiting your employees, or whatever RWNJs like you do.
Wait a minute...you can't get cash from those cards.

There can be no stigma associated with using the EBT cards since most people today have no concept of what the word "shame" means.

Absolutely. People like my grandmother, at age 90, should be publicly humiliated for daring to be poor. $60 a month, on our dime? What kind of country does she think this is?

How dare she.
Well there are others, like the drug dealer mentioned in this post, getting more than $60/month (bail is usually a heck of a lot more than $60) and using it for non food items.
