One of the women in my certification program worked for Walmart in college and she said women would be so ashamed of having an ebt card because of the reaction of the other customers in line that they would hand her their ebt card with a debit card over the top and say they weren't able to swipe it and could she help them. She knew immediately that they were worried about the huffing and eyerolling of the Walmart customers behind them that they would rather pretend their debit card woudn't swipe than openly use their ebt card.
Luckily, this woman is a kind soul with a loving heart and she would say "oh, I see! Perhaps if I run your card through MY swiper, it will work!"
And she would run the card through and quickly place the debit card atop to preserve the woman's dignity.
I got the same dirty looks when I worked for a church and purchased things on a tax exempt status. Geez. It's the law, peoples!
Thanks for sharing your story.I have worked as a cashier for Walmart and saw this type of reaction on a daily basis. I have rung up people from ALL walks of life using EBT food stamp card. Stop judgingMOO
