After four years on the job, a New Hampshire woman was fired because
she refused to sell cigarettes to a customer who tried to pay with an
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card (the debit card equivalent of
food stamps), according to the Sentinel Source.
Jackie R. Whiton said that a 20-something-year-old male came into her
Big Apple convenience store on May 29 and handed her an EBT card while
trying to purchase two packs of cigarettes.
It’s important to note that there are two types of EBT cards: one is for essential grocery items and the other can be used for pretty much anything. The customer had the latter.
Whiton told the customer that EBT cards shouldn’t be used to purchase
luxury items such as cigarettes. Of course, the EBT holder didn’t take
her refusal lightly and the two “had a little go-around” while the
checkout line grew larger.
