Context here, at least my understanding from when I worked in a deli ~10 years ago, is that EBT can only cover cold food. So they're offering to let you buy cold chicken then warm it for free.

Raw. And then they'll cook it. Which means you (and maybe your kids) don't have to wait to get home and cook it, plus you save on whatever fuels your stove. This must be the kind of store that also sells raw ingredients as well as cooked. If they have the grill or fryer hot already, it's not a big loss for them, and you'll probably also buy milk or whatever, but it's still a big kindness.

Or if you are unhoused, or live in car and can't cook.

yes but those aren't people according to the government.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think they don't otherwise sell raw ingredients

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

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.

I don't know how you can tell from the image? My local grocery store has a sign over the fish section offering to fry up your freshly purchased fish for free. I assume it's done over in the hot foods area's kitchen, but the sign is over the raw fish case. (There's no mention of EBT though.)

I can't tell, I just get fried chicken shop vibes

[–] SaintWacko@midwest.social 8 points 3 months ago

Around here, the grocery stores usually have a deli section that also cooks and sells ready-to-eat food, including fried chicken and chicken tenders. I suspect something like that is where this sign was seen

Well if it is a fried chicken shop, they get "extra credit," because it's more work for them to redeem the EBT credits, whereas a grocery store already has that set up.

As I recall, it wasn't just hot food, but any food meant to be consumed on the premises, such as fountain sodas instead of canned ones. I remember a talking point about that being would get more nutritious and cheaper food buying a bag of rice and dried beans than it would for them to buy pre-made burritos, chili or whatever.
