Is that what happens to these people? They work so hard that they get low blood sugar?

My son worked as a cashier in a grocery store. The old stories about EBT buying steaks and getting into a Cadillac are just urban legends. They mostly buy pre-packaged meals and things like pizza rolls. They buy a lot of meals that can be resold.
They also buy a lot of cigarettes with cash.

Which means we’re supplementing their employers’ labor costs.

And you know, I don't think most people have a problem with that. I don't. Worked with a lady who had 4 year old twins, she confided that she gets help with her electric bill and said alot of people don't like that. Didn't bother me, she worked. She needed help, a hand up, not a hand out.

I bet most people here don't mind if someone is on social security and gets food stamps, it's the leeches that make people angry. Very different.

That's the "S" in SNAP, "Supplementary", Food stamps were never intended to pay for all of the recipient's food needs, not even their primary food needs.
