[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 398175, member: 7083"] I'm having a hard time figuring out how you could use the foodstamp card for anything other than food. Admittedly, I've only used it at a grocery store, but everything that is paid for with foodstamps is marked next to the item on the receipt. And I've noticed in the past that junk food items, like chips or fruit roll-ups, have a different mark than "real" food, like fruits and veggies, meats, cheeses, soups, etc, so it seems to me that some kind of database is being used/checked. The cash register automatically sorts out the food items from the non-food items. Are these stores that are using old POS systems? I wonder if they put welfare on the same card. Cause when I scan my foodstamp card I have to select "Food" or "Cash". I don't get welfare and I've only selected "Food", so I don't know what the "Cash" option is for. Did Katie tell the ER docs about her legs swelling? Cause even if it is the result of abusing medications/drugs, they should have talked to her about that. Totally unrelated, but when you type the word "food" and look at it for a while it looks wrong. I need sleep. [/QUOTE]
