Senior year of high school, I got tickets to see Arcade Fire on the Suburbs tour in Memphis. No one ever comes to Memphis, and I grew up without a lot of money, and this was kind of an ENORMOUS treat. And I had SHIT seats, like two rows back from the second balcony wall where my HIGH SCHOOL ART TEACHER WAS SITTING and

I also worked as a cashier at a grocery store, using a register/checkout system that was about twenty years out of date. I was working at a local, independently owned grocery store that primarily catered to lower income families and about half of our business was done through SNAP/EBT.
My experience is not a universal

SNAP and other foodstamp benefits (EBT) are registered on a thing that looks a bit like a debit card. The debit card literally does not read the transaction for things that do not fall under SNAP or EBT; you literally can’t abuse it. You can’t use SNAP or EBT benefits to purchase paper products (so no school supplies,
