I work for a living, and crap like that is a treat, but to foodstampers, it is every night.
HOW THE HELL CAN YOU DRIVE UP TO A SUPERMARKET IN A 2013 benz, AND USE FOODSTAMPS?
How come no one cares!?

Been there soopa. I was in line with my peanut butter and jelly. Loaf of bread. This was my lunch for the week. Cheap. The guy ahead of me has two lobster tails and a bouquet of flowers. Other items for a nice dinner. He whips out a EBIT card to pay for it. This was just over 21 years ago I witnessed this.
But yeah, the cards are used to by a pack of gum. The rest taken in cash. See it at the local grocery.
People care but the issue is so wide spread and apparently going on so long it is acceptable. Many say they are entitled to the money and can spend it any way they like. The real issue is most never get off the rolls. I have a family member who is a professional at it. A real career gal she is.
