A store in Phoenix has been the target of complaints in connection with EBT card thefts. As it turns out, the store's owner says his store is also being targeted by thieves, amid a sharp rise in reported cases of EBT card skimming, which has left some EBT card accounts empty.

As can be seen in the cases of Chavis and Ward, both of whom live outside of Arizona, skimming can happen anywhere.

"They spent $372 on corn syrup. C'mon," said Chavis. "There was, like, 400 and some dollars in pumpkin seeds. Who's going to buy that much product of that stuff?" "We can not stop people from buying a case of pumpkin seeds," said Hussein. "We sell pumpkin seeds. We sell cases of pistachios. They cost about $600 for pastries. People use them to use pastries and walnuts as well. Well, how much is a pound, and the case is 50 pounds, multiply that, it comes to $300, $400 a case, and that why we became a target for this. So people buy them and sell somewhere else because we are basically like a wholesaler.

How about these people get a job and get off welfare benefits that my tax dollars are paying for? I wish someone gave me $572 a month for food. If you can't afford kids and you can't afford food stop having kids.!

How is it across the US, but at a Phoenix market? This title sucks.
