Does best buy take personal checks?

Should foodstamps be like Wic Checks, where there is a specified food and drink that can be bought with it? I think that some people take advantage of the gov. I have seen many buy nothing but crap with food stamps. and then pay cash for alcohol and cigs

• Answer:

  The govt has enough control of our lives. The last thing we need is them telling us what to buy with our food stamps. I do agree that they should not allow things like shrimp, crab, steaks, etc.. If you can afford that, you don't need food stamps. The problem with your idea is people get (I get $30) a month.. If I want to use it for "junk" food than I will just be hurting myself at the end of the month.. You also have to understand that you can get more food by buying sodas, etc than you can milk. You can get 3 3 liters for the price of 1/2 gallon milk. I do see a problem with them buying alcohol and cigs but what can you do? No worse than people getting a "disability" check and working for cash.. I know someone who takes her $800 soc. sec. check (she's supposedly disabled) and gambles it EVERY MONTH..must be nice.. There are some who screw the system but most of us barely..I mean barely survive.
