Because there is a SH*Tload of fraud going on, and this is one way to root it out.
“All digital” is like saying “all in a language” for all the good it does. French? Swahili? Afrikaans? Put that all in a book and expect everyone to be able to read it?
Retailers are consistent within themselves but are not set up to bubble lists of sold items in any consistent format back up to Uncle Sam. At best a UPC could be furnished, but there is no standard UPC for things like fresh produce sold bulk in a store. Adding categories of “counts as food but food stamp banned” items would increase overhead.
You paid for a little bit of them, but the neighbors for the rest.
Breaking two laws is no righter than breaking one.
I’d say the odds of Trayvon’s last purchase being on EBT > 50%
That would have been supplemental bennies not food bennies.
Already in place by proxy IMO....:o)
Stay safe....
Yes, but what could she have done about it?
Call the cops?.........
Bought take-and-bake pizza at Papa Murhphy’s the other night. Went to pick them up and a sign in the window welcomed EBT cards. I won’t be back.
Confine the purchases to rice and beans. Complete protein-It will keep them alive AND SLIM.
I saw that as well...
I though - great, not only am I paying for MY family’s pizza, I’m paying for a bunch of other people’s as well.
It isn't "...THEIR food stamp money..." money.
That food stamp money came out of mine and other taxpayers' pockets. Money I could have used to take better care of my own family.
There is RAMPANT FRAUD in the system and it needs to be ferreted out.
Being able to call police makes a thing right or wrong in your world?
And anyhow she could well say that you just took her shopping cart away, and produce records from the food stamp bureau to prove the purchase. It would be your claim against hers, but you would be in possession of the food she was on record as buying. Not too good for you.
Why haven’t you already been boycotting the Safeway, etc. who sold frozen pizzas to food stamp card customers?
This is blind.
Read back carefully - I didn’t say I was boycotting, just that I was not happy about it, realizing that I was buying a treat for my family, and having to pay for somebody else’s family as well.
You’re taking this much too seriously. I would never do such a thing, nor would I even consider it. Everything I wrote is for entertainment purposes only.........
The bible says something about those who deceive their neighbors then say oh, i was only joking.
Anybody who has been around FR for several years knows how I write, with tongue firmly planted in cheek...........
It also specifically states “he who will not work shall not eat”,
which is the actual topic here.
No reason to apologize to a 3 1/2 month old.
