What I learned during that time was this; those types of benefits provide groceries and hardly cover the most basic nutritional needs to begin with. <br /><br />I couldn't see how eating out at a restaurant would leave any substantial portion of that benefit amount remaining after they paid their bill. <br /><br />Your quite right, the business owners would benefit and the poor many of whom are poor money managers since they don't have money to manage would end up being hurt if this policy were adopted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10204165708189660644noreply@blogger.com
