We don’t take EBT card.Customer: I called and you guys said you guys take EBT card.Shop Owner: Who you talk to?Customer: It doesn’t matter who I talk to. I called and they said that you guys take EBT card. I mean, look at it, it has the chip, the tap to pay, it’s the new one.Shop Owner: Yeah, but it's not accepting, ma’am. And we don’t take EBT in the service industry.Customer: Well, isn’t it this for food? Is this like for food stamp kind of thing?Shop Owner: Yeah, but I also get cash on there. You guys— I heard you guys take it though.Shop Owner: No, no, we only take Visa, MasterCard or American Express.Customer: They told me any type of payment when I called.Shop Owner: Yeah, that’s what they meant, but not EBT though.Customer: Well, you guys should have been more clear.
