Do they take food stamps?

how was the chicken?:)

Take a wild guess at what EBT Cards are

if i had a nickel for every time i heard this line





i'd have $0.85

lol i just realized where that Church's is. right by where my grandparents lived :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Yes, EBT Cards http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/ebt/

Good. :thumbsup Cooked by Mexicans:winkwink:

EBT cards are the shit, my exgirlfriend had one and got $600/month on it...I used to use that shit for late night munchies at 711 all of the time...except I love energy drinks and it wouldn't pay for the energy drinks :disgust

Electronic Food Stamps! :thumbsup

WTFF........only welfare people use those......I would feel so dumb using that.....I hope I never have to use that......

Compton has changed their name. It is now officially " Rancho Dominguez ". Please update all your links. :2 cents:

Many places are nice during the day time...

Come back on a Saturday night and sit in that same parking lot.

I'm not American.

^^^^^^^^

that's relative

i'd rather be in the middle of compton at night than the middle of jasper, texas :2 cents:

Are there special EBT cards for fast food? I thought prepared food was not eligible. WTF?

.

they changed it up a little while back. now most fast food places and convenience stores accept ebt

Theres an exception for chicken.:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So now taxpayers cover not only food bills but laziness also? I could see an exception in the rare cases where someone is living in a place without a kitchen but to allow everyone to buy convenience food misses the point doesn't it?

edit; I forgot it's a government program, common sense doesn't matter.

.

Drove through Compton once, you're right, it really wasn't all that bad. Looked like regular suburbs to me. My uncle owns a scrap yard in Camden, New Jersey. Now THAT town is fucked up; it's just one big open-air drug market. Reminds me of Hamsterdam from The Wire.

Oh fuck ... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

.

i believe the logic was that a lot of EBT recipients were homeless or damn near, so only allowing unprepared food was unfair

can't 100% disagree with you there

oh my, so hilarious... :error

I'll bet the new policy allowing fast food was from lobby efforts of KFC, Burger King, Popeye's, etc ...

.

I'm not a huge fan of Church's chicken,I like KFC much better

You should not include BK in that list.
Is their Spicy 'Chick?n' Crisp Sandwich really chicken?
Note the missing 'e' in chicken.

KFC is too greasy, you eat a meal of theirs and you feel like you're gonna puke for an hour afterwards. I think they're only in the Northeast, but there's a chain called Crown Fried Chicken that's really good - for fast food chicken, at least. Nice and crispy, seasoned just right, not dripping grease. They have better side dishes, too.

Yes, I love KFC but I was driving in Compton and had to stop at Church's chicken to get the "Day time" Compton experience.

Damn that's as bad as McDonalds nuggets. :Oh crap

.

havent been to usa in a while but i recall there was a 'no hot food' policy on ebt cards. the game many hood folks would run is to buy up all the chicken and ribs at the discount grocery store with their ebt card and have weekend barbeques on the corner and sell the barbeque. asians did the same, except they shopped at their own little asian grocery stores with ebt to supply their restauraunts. but just buying hot food outright at fast food, thats a new twist. i dont think that has hit florida yet, but again im not stateside... who knows wtf is going on there

:1orglaugh you better say your looking for something. and the drive through would be more deadly than just walking in the front door :Oh crap

hows the food in a third world country? the no hot foods went out the door.

Besides being black how do you qualify for one of those EBT cards?

Same reason Kentucky Fried Chicken was renamed to just KFC.. Not real chicken.

They call it KFC because they don't want to use the "Fried" word.
