Wonder if the Gateway Marketplace Meier was to forgo EBT dollars would the shift in shopper demographics be worth it. My fear is that even if they hire 'Top Flight Security of the World' , standing in line behind the mounded carts of the EBT crowd will still make it a less than desirable shopping experience.

Maybe only accept EBT on certain days? Certain times of they day? Like 9am -5pm M-F ...hell it could be like getting up and going to work.


While I believe in my heart that "Food Stamps" are a good and necessary thing, the truth is it's just too easy and commonplace. The stigma of being on the program has diminished to the point of almost being the norm. Corruption and abuse is beyond rampant. Whats the motivation to want off?
