Over the summer I got behind a woman using EBT to buy 8-10 large cans of powdered baby formula. She had one baby in arms and a small toddler sitting in the cart.
I heard tongue clicking and deep sighs behind me, but I stuck it out and watched the transaction for the 10 minutes it took. It was profoundly sad watching this.
I’ve never seen a man with a women using EBT, it’s always a woman.
This was like a 35 year old man.
The woman with him said: "Wait, let me swipe my EBT card!"
I must have missed something. Does EBT pay for dog food?
The man paid with a crisp $100 bill and got back about $40.
