Same here.

WalMart lobsters and so many 6 packs of soda they have them draped around the top of the shopping cart like saddlebags.

The “trains” of carts are what flip me out.

I can’t afford to fill *one* cart and they’re dragging 3 or 4 tied together.

If people, as you say, can load up one, two, three carts of food at one time, pay for it with their EBT card, how much are they getting monthly from the government?

Remember that their purchases must be food only, and nothing more. Anything you purchase at the same time, like paper products, personal items, cleaning/dish/laundry products, must be paid for by the shopper. The purchase of these items with your EBT card will not be authorized. You will receive a receipt with a separate itemization of the items you purchased on the EBT card and the amount, and then if you purchase other items not covered by the EBT card, a separate itemizing of these purchased and the total will appear at the bottom of the receipt. I know of a disabled, widowed senior citizen in Illinois who receives $31.00 per month in Link card funds, and this amount will not fill up a shopping cart of food. Interesting contrast between two EBT/Link card users in different states.
