You should agree to meet them then take their lone star card and drop it down the sewer.

Step one is Grügle it. Step two is sorting through the results. Step three is finding the relevant information.

Can I let someone else use my Lone Star Card to buy items for me?
No. You are the only person who is allowed to use your card and PIN (password). It is illegal to let someone else use your card or benefits.

Can someone else get a Lone Star Card so they can buy items for me?
If you need someone else to help you buy things, you can ask for a second card to give to someone you trust. That person will need to create a PIN (password) for the second card. The money that person spends on the second card will come out of your card's account.

You are the only person who can use your card and PIN. The person with the second card is the only person who can use the second card and PIN. It is illegal to let someone else use your card.

How do I report a store or person that I think is using food or cash benefits illegally (committing fraud)?

Had a guy approach me in Minyards the other day. He was just standing around in the isle and stoping everyone that walked by asking if he could buy their groceries in exchange for $$$.


Something didnt feel right about the whole thing and the first thought was that my $$ would be going to support a drug habbit or something. So I just kept walking and ignored him....

True MotherF-in story right thur

Tell me about it.

I was standing in line the other day, behind what I thought was a business man wearing slacks and what not. Well, as I get up to the front to put my stuff down, the guy turns around and tells me the line is closed. Turns out, the guy that was in front of me for all of 5 minutes was the store manager.

Didnt get his name but he is about 5'1" and looks to be hispanic. Well, he was flirting with the very under age chashier and I guess decided to close her line so she could leave early...but not before they chatted it up after telling me the line was closed.

I said F-it, and set all of my shit down and told em I was going to Krogers...lol
He just looked at me and said "okay, go ahead". What the hell kind of manager does not try to take care of a upset customer...especially something as small as this...

there are still Minyards around? i thought they died out years ago.

I saw someone ask if they can buy lobster tail on their EBT card at Wal-Mart last weekend.

[FastFox]

I noticed a sign on a gas pump at Walmart stating that you could use an EBT card now for gasoline purchases. Go figure.
