So I go in the store and purchase Four dollars worth of batteries and two dollars worth of snacks and the total came to 6.58. I swiped my card and the total said I owed 2.50 something. I asked the lady why it said this and she said "is that not a ebt(sp) card". I said "huh". She said "foodstamps card". I kinda chuckled as the whole situation amused yet confused me. Needless to say she quickly had me rescan my card and the new total was once again 6.58. Now I am not looking for a "freeloade"r vs "needs help" discussion, I would just like to know how the system works. How would what I bought come to 2.50 something for someone on foodstamps? Are the things you can buy with "food"stamps not limited to food. Do you get "foodstamps" and a discount both.
Someone help me understand this.

Are you wanting an explanation of the technologies used; the merchant Point of Sale, terminal, and their price book?
Or are you saying people with food stamps shouldn't be allowed to by batteries?

I dont understand any of it apparently. As stated previously though how would what I bought total 2.50 for someone on foodstamps, what can "food"stamps be used for, and is there a discount on top of the foodstamps themselves?
pisses me off too...
I saw a lady when my little one was on formula about 8 or 9 months ago buy 10 cans of formula that would be about 250 bucks real money if I bought them, I was buying 2 cans right behind her for 50 bucks, buy all 10 of them for 20 bucks:facepalm:
she probably sold them for 20 bucks each for cigarettes beer and drugs
why do you always pre-judge people :shrug:
you have no fucking idea what happened. none :shrug:
she used her food stamps, she was right in front of me in line :shrug: I saw the whole transaction
Ray Charles could see he was refering to how she came to needing Foodstamps.
Just dumpster this shit jack, obviously noone knows or cares to share. I did a little research and I still dont unerstand, but batteries shouldnt have been allowed or the "junk food" for that matter, so I am actually more confused than ever.
Food stamps are for food, but not prepared food (as in a plate lunch at grocery deli). I don't think food stamps can be used for batteries, etc....
