At Costco last weekend, the woman ahead of me had a cart stacked with beef, cheese, snacks, juice, and several bags of frozen shrimp. I assumed she had a big family—until she pulled out an EBT card. Then her phone rang. “Oh, I got everything. Come pick it up later. I used the PIN you sent me.” That’s when it hit me: It wasn’t her SNAP card. It belonged to whoever was on the other end of that call. After she checked out, the man behind me muttered: “We work all week and can’t afford that much meat.” It wasn’t jealousy. It was that familiar knot in your stomach when reality feels unfair. #ShowUsTheBill #SNAPMisuse #CostcoStories #EBTSharing #FairnessMatters
