“Dont want to be told what to do, dont take the Kings Coin.”
Damn. That slogan should be on every EBT card. Brilliant.

What this’ is about is if the stores deli counter offers pre cooked items like BBQ chicken or prepared sandwiches or a complete blue plate luncheon special they can now get with their snap card. Before it wasn’t allowed and was a separate cash charge.

They accept the cash side of EBT. Theyre nothing but debit cards anyway.

And whats your problem with fast food? There seem to be too many physical altercations across the countera few recorded at YouTube.
Fast food also includes Arthur Treacher's, Long John Silver's, Captain D's, Skipper's and Alfie's Fish & Chipsyum!

For every dollar spent in a non-grocery store/facility, 50 cents should be deducted from their stipends....if they can afford to waste money on higher-priced crap, they obviously don’t need the extra money.

Uber lib Austin, TX, the stores sell reusable bags at the check out or charge 10 cents for plastic bags which the store keeps as I understand it. Dallas, TX had done the same but it only lasted a few months. I think I’ve only seen one person ever using reusable bags.

Think I’ll buy tons of groceries, have the checkout person put them into the cart, then ask for assistance getting it all into my car. I’m a senior citizen.

Can’t count the number of people I have overheard that are on food stamps and pan handle for cash.
Its a lot.

One look at Governor McCheese Pritzker here would tell an intelligent person HELL NO should SNAP benefits be used for fast food!!
That's Pritzker on the right, and his wife just to the left.

And whats your problem with fast food? Keep your grubby hands off my burger and pizza. If you're spending others tax-dollars to eat, we have every right to tell you what you can and cannot spend those dollars on.
Don't like it? Get off welfare and earn your own money. Until then STFU and do as you're told, moocher.
