[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 398223, member: 1514"] Ok....want an experts experience? Do remember I did this for the Dept of Ag undercover for a year of three...lol. This is a mom and pop store thing. You will not get a national chain store to do this. They have way too much to lose. Have you ever been in one of those little stores where you can practically blow the dust off a can of beans and weenies? They are probably in the FS fraud business. What they do is order a minimum inventory of food to make it look like they sell food and set it on the shelves. They will allow people to buy gas, cigs, even shirts, knickknacks, and even give cash back. This was much more popular when they had paper stamps...and much harder to prove! I can remember going into the stores in raggedy -blank clothes with paper stamps and buying a couple of soda's a pack of cigs, 10 bucks of gas and leaving marked paper stamps behind so that the feds could go in and bust them. Now, we can just watch a select few individuals cases and their card usage and when they say they spent 35 bucks at Joes Market, and then 25 other people spent the same amount on that same day? Well Joe better be able to show his inventory IN FOOD, was available to go down that day...or Joe has a real problem. We would get the individuals and the feds got Joe. The individuals would get their cases docked for say six months and have to repay the abused stamps, but Joe would lose his ability to take food stamps for 5 or 10 years. Or forever if he had been caught before. God I miss my job! [/QUOTE]
