So, would you assume that I was using an EBT card because I swipe my card through the machine? I use my debit card, linked to my checking account, to pay for my groceries all the time. I never have cash on me anymore. I rarely see people paying with cash anymore.

Just curious. Now I am going to feel self conscious buying my groceries.

I'm not nosy enough to get close enough to look to see if someone is using a debit or EBT card. But I was in line behind this man and a woman who was obviously his mother one time, and he bought beer and paid with a $20, while his mom bought regular groceries and paid with food stamps. As if I wouldn't die of shame buying beer with cash right behind my mom paying for her groceries with food stamps.

You being a fellow TarHeel and all, you know as well as I do that many people who live in trailers are definitely not poor. We know that's no way to judge if someone is poor.

The EBT cards that I have seen are designed like an American flag and are easily distinguished from other credit cards.

Uhm...the EBT cards have a distinct design to them. Much like having a VISA or MasterCard logo.

That's what the government supremacists want the sheeple to do. Preparation for the cashless, total control economy.

piffle....no need to feel self-conscious. Have been doing the debit card for years. I don't give a hoot what people think who are standing in the grocery line. I will in all probability never see them again. More important things in life to be concerned about...oh, maybe you were kidding.
