My roomate in college ran a food stamp scam out of our dorm room before Texas adopted the lonestar card and did away with “foodstamps”.
It was an eye opener...needless to say I had a new roomate the next semester...
People would walk in and buy an 18 cent pack of Ramen, pay with a $1 stamp, pocket the change, walk out, throw the Ramen in the trash and walk back in to repeat the cycle.
Kept doing that until they had enough money to buy a six pack or some fortified wine.
Oh, well. My tax money at work.
Did you turn him in or sit there and shake?
