I've never seen anybody do that. Even though I think the system is abused, I wouldn't do it either. Good grief, how would I know they weren't truly needy.
You have to meet income and assets requirements and can't get a SNAP or TANF card unless you are truly needy.
Only a compete dick would make a 'bum or needy' evaluation at the checkout and then harass someone using the card.
Then how come they all drive Hummers? (Escalades are so Clinton era leech.)
I thought I explained this earlier...
Baby mama has boyfriend with Escalade. Baby mama and baby daddy remain unmarried to ensure baby mama continues to collect max government goodies.
The car isn't in her name it's in his name. Part of the "max government goodies" scam.
To qualify for SNAP you pretty much have to be below government poverty level, having a baby helps with this. Pop out a baby and you can get TANF plus non-cash goodies that aren't counted toward your income and thus keep you eligible for SNAP.
On the other hand, the ones who don't have a boyfriend with a Hummer do tend to be rather poor.
No. For I one I have enough class not to cause a public to do. For another I don't know whether or not that person is abusing the system. They might be, but a snap shot of one shopping day doesn't tell the story. Finally I mind my own business. I may disagree with the food they buy on the tax payer's dime, but it is their right to use the food stamps within the parameters allowed by law.
What if that leech is laughing at me as I put my ramen packages on the conveyor?
Then I'd say it's a safe bet that they do have a brick in their purse and are just hoping you come on with a mouthful of accusatory snark.
I'd say a better tactic would be to follow them out to their car and use your phone to take pictures while they shovel those lobster tails in the back of the Escalade. Take those pictures to the local welfare agency after you've photo-shopped them so everybody's ugly as sin in the pics.
After the welfare agency tells you She's the foster mother for 6 crack babies and you slink out of the office, post the pictures on P&OC and you should get a 30 page thread out of it.
But do not, I repeat, do not confront a big, bold EBT user with an oversize purse and attitude. You'll be eating that Top Raman dry, and sooner than you think.
How do you know if the persons are working or not? You can't tell by looking.
