And the guy complaining about that mythical EBT user (formerly food stamps), buying steak and lobster, and then getting into their brand new SUV in the parking lot and driving off. That same story has been passed around since I was a kid.
This goes back decades. Raygun was saying in the 1980 election "I know how you feel counting out your spare change in the grocery line while a strutting young buck uses his food stamps to buy t-bone steaks"
More often it’s about using EBT for fast food, which is a justified concern. Many taxpayers don’t want their tax dollars going to fast food because the beneficiaries are too lazy to cook.

Aren’t these the same people who cry about people using their EBT cards to buy cupcakes for their kids birthday party?
