Where is the business? This would be viable only if you get your food for free...
Or, of course, if you spend less than 200 on your food. In that case we may be back to my other question - maybe 200 is too much.

Just because they are white people, doesn't mean they are bankers and intellectuals. I am not up on food stamp fraud, but i can imagine that people are obtaining the cards through fraud and then selling them at a discount with money being laundered through the store being charged for items that then remain in inventory and are then sold again, or junkies/alcoholics that want booze/drugs more than food, hence the conversion to cash to feed addiction.
