Which one is the real asshole?

[Ma Huang Sor]

Jackie Whiton has worked at the Big Apple Convenience store in Peterborough, New Hampshire, for four years, but last month she was unceremoniously let go for standing up for what she believed was right.

On May 29, a customer came into the store and tried to buy cigarettes with his EBT debit card and Mrs Whiton refused to let tax payers foot the bill for his addiction.

The company that owns the store said that by law, the customer had every right to use his card as he pleased and she had crossed the line and had to go.

Mrs Whiton told the Sentinel Source that on that day in May, a young man came into the store and asked for a pack of cigarettes.

When she asked him for his ID, he handed her an EBT debit card.

'I made the statement, "Do you think myself, that lady and that gentlemen should pay for your cigarettes?" and he responded "yes,"' Mrs Whiton said to the Sentinel Source.

Another man in line told Mrs Whiton: 'You said just exactly what I was thinking.'

The man left without his cigarettes, but his godmother later returned to demand the man get his smokes, according to the Boston Herald.

my gut feeling here is...she makes enough noise, lawyers up and throws some discrimination lawsuits around ymight change that shit some. EBT for cigarettes? In what world did that happen?

New Hampshire lol...it figures.

[Lady Cop]

in the lefty commonwealth of prius-driving, birkenstock-wearing, kennedy-cousin offspring moonbats of Mass. people have been using their EBT cards for cash, cigs, booze and lottery tix forever. the real people, who work and pay taxes out the ass here, are ready to start another revolution on Bunker Hill.
this IS the welfare state.

i'd move to NH in a minute.

[Duchess]

I thought those cards equaled food stamps. Am I mistaken?

[Ma Huang Sor]

Must be. You can't buy ANYTHING but food (and essentials like diapers and feminine products, etc) in VT with EBT. New Hampshire is fucked in that regard though it would appear.

Actually LC I don't think you would. Thank God there's a river between our states.

[Ma Huang Sor]

Mass is worse though, I grant LC that. Good old Romney, what a great job he did on that state. It's interesting the fascist neocons want to rewrite the strategy with him as their tool.

He is a tool, so it makes sense.

Give that lady a medal!

[Duchess]

Welfare isn't for supporting someone's bad habits. Jesus Christ.

These fuckers don't have any incentive to work.

[Ma Huang Sor]

Give her one of yours

[ramseycat]

Give her one of yours

I think I will.

[Maggot]

More people should be doing this. I did not know you could buy cigs with a welfare card. Time to send out a few letters to a few representatives and hope that things can change. A few newspapers also. But not the Concord Monitor they are filled with liberal lefty fags

Let the kid smoke. I wish he'd smoke more. I'll pay.
He'll die, thus no longer a burden on society, much quicker.

Same in NY.

Yea and the medical bills for treating his lung cancer will not cost the taxpayers a ton of money.

Obamacare says you will pay for it and like it.

I can't wait I'm going to the fucking doctor for everything and those preventive care treatments, I want tested for everything every month.

Is an EBT debit card for SSI or disibility or is it just a card for temporary cash assistance?

If the card was for disibility then it's really none of the old bat's business what he does with it.

EBT= welfare in every sense of the word.

Don't fuck with old ladies from N.H. they have bigger balls then most men from VT.
