You'd be surprised. Of course none of us know the laws as they apply everywhere but on my recent trip to California I was in a Savemart and swiped my card. I could choose from Credit, Debit, or EBT. For some reason I hit EBT, I guess I was thinking Electronic Banking Transfer or something. It asked for my pin, if I wanted cash back, etc. I selected cash back, probably $20. I waited for a second and the clerk told me I hit the one for food stamps. I was in uniform so I made a joke about how the news always says the military gets food stamps. Then I said, "you can get cash back on food stamps?" To which she replied, "yeah, isn't that something?" Mind you my beer and/or liquor rang up no problem.
