Also, it is extremely hard to see if the person is using subsidies to pay for groceries. They do not have a booklet of stamps to tear off and give to the cashiers. The SNAP card looks just like your bank card and it slides into the reader just like your bank card.
So, it would be almost impossible to know which customers are using "food stamps" and who is using a bank card.

It SHOULD be! That is part of the problem. SNAP cards, run by the JP Morgan bank, should be able to buy ONLY staple foods. REAL food. Not the crap that Kraft, Tyson, and all the other food manufacturers make.
My example was before the electronic cards. It really happened. The lady (black) was all decked out, really fancy, like she was stopping on the way to a party. I was shocked when she pulled out that book to pay. She's either cheating the system or buying the stamps for 50 cents on the dollar.
