LOL As part of the upheaval, Bi-Lo is planning to shut almost 200 stores -- either before or after its filing -- one person said. The business, which went bankrupt in previous incarnations in 2005 and 2009, With low margins and ample competition, the grocery business has always been challenging. But now the industry is contending with a more aggressive push by big-box retailers and Amazon.com Inc., which acquired Whole Foods last year to give it a larger brick-and-mortar presence. The moves threaten to force older chains to either consolidate or revamp their operations.
There's a change they can make right now: Fat people should be disqualified. Why would someone who's 50+ lbs overweight claim they need more food? Every time I see a fat person buying food with food stamps, it's soda and hot dogs and other crap, even though the store has bottled water, oatmeal and veggies. The healthy stuff doesn't cost any more than junk food, despite the claims that healthy food is too expensive for poor people. Oatmeal is 1/2 the price of donuts but I've never seen an obese person buy oatmeal
They buy convenient, expensive and taste good crap. Despite what others might have said in this thread, food shopping is another skill...which many recipients don't have.
Any grocery store anywhere (well maybe not Sprouts) has EBT users, if you'd pay attention to your surroundings. Maybe you've never seen the WIC coupons and all the higher level math involved in those transactions.
I’ve never worked in a grocery or convenience store and when I shop I’m usually focusing on food and the trim and I can honestly say I don’t know what WIC coupons are and I bet the majority of people on a trading website don’t either.
Another blow to sales came when the U.S. government cut food-stamp subsidies, whose users contribute about 10 percent of annual revenue. Since then, the Trump administration has contemplated even more reductions.
The majority of people on a trading website aren't offering opinions or solutions about a program they don't understand. But you just couldn't resist right?
