29. People Needed To Look For Signs To Use Food Stamps
The government never forced grocery stores to use food stamps. The owners always had a choice, and their decision depended on several reasons. Some owners agreed right away to help out people in their community by allowing food stamps. Other owners needed more time to understand the process before they agreed to it.
Consumers with food stamps had to look for various signs that told them the store-approved food stamps. Signs like the one above or stating “Food Stamps Accepted Here” saw placements all over the stores. If a store didn’t have a sign, consumers couldn’t use their food stamps.
