[NYPOST] SNAP recipients are taking to TikTok and threatening to loot grocery stores if their food stamp payments don't go through on Nov. 1 due to the government shutdown.
''I'ma tell y'all straight up like this, I just got that text that the link is definitely cut the f—k off for November. Y'all better stay the f—k out of my way in these stores because I'm walking out with carts and I'm not paying for s—t,'' one angry SNAP recipient fumed on TikTok.
Another added: ''You know what? Since they wanna take food stamps away, I'm gonna go to f—king Walmart, grab anything I damn want, put that s—t right in the basket and walk right up out that b—h — I'm not paying for a damn thing,'' said another.
Approximately 42 million Americans — or 1 in 8 people nationwide — receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments, formerly known as food stamps.
The payments, which average $350 per month per household, are deposited monthly on debit cards that can be used on groceries and other food at supermarkets and convenience stores. |
