[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1453960, member: 18225"] Maybe they've just cashed their first check from the new job they got through state-sponsored employment-search assistance, or whatever, offered to those getting benefits. This person had a rough patch, had to go on the dole, and went to all the employment workshops. Success! The state helped them land a job! When you saw this person, they had just cashed their first paycheck, at a pay-day lending place, since they don't have a bank account (they used to, but after being unemployed for so long, they lost their old account, and with no income and no cash, no bank would give them a shot). The cut at the pay-day loan place was a little steep, but maybe they didn't mind, since it was nice to have cash in hand again. The job seemed like it could turn into a permanent gig (finally!), and the state was going to cut off the EBT card at the end of the month: of course they're going to run the card out. That's one possible story, but there are others; maybe they're undocumented...the card comes from the state, the cash comes under-the-table from cleaning other peoples' homes or watching other peoples' children... Or maybe they're STRAIGHT DRUG-DEALING GANGSTERS! Lulz. But yah, why you looking in other peoples' wallets? [/QUOTE]
