I believe they do.
Yes -- but EBT isn't just food stamps. A lot of times court ordered child support is issued on EBT cards, especially if the paying parent is a deadbeat who is having their wages garnished. Lots of courts aren't issuing checks anymore, and prefer the cheaper alternative of EBT cards.

Not a good idea to mess around with fat, HUNGRY, people.

Wow. That woman is crazy. Or really bitchy when she's hungry.

Salinas isn't exactly known for its classy, erudite residents.

People amaze me sometimes with their lack of basic decency and tact.
I get, "WOW, you are TALL." Really? I hadn't noticed for the past forty years that I can see the top of just about everyone else's head. Thanks for pointing that out.

Last week a woman I worked on a project with who I haven't seen in a while was in the same room as I was, and for probably the third time since I've known her she said with a smirk, "I think you are getting taller." This is a woman in her late fifties, a lawyer, who sits on the board of trustees of a well-known university, but somehow can't restrain herself from making ignorant remarks. I just turned my back to her and walked away without saying anything.

LOL, my favorite line from the old movie The Ten Commandments is "Your tongue will dig your grave."

How do you know she wasn't one of the patients?

Some people have no tact. My mom would often do that, would point to an obese person and go he is gross. I once hung out with a well known British rock band that was having a laugh at fat fans by making fun of them. I wouldn't say anything because I'd be afraid they'd sit on me but also it's not my business to tell others how to eat if they are paying for it.
