They wouldn’t be able to accept EBT if that was the case.
I worked at a place that accepted EBT for a while. They removed the store’s approval because they didn’t sell enough milk, bread, eggs, cold meats, and butter.
We only had around 1 or 2 EBT sales a month, so not a lot of people were terribly bummed about it.
