NH Store Clerk Reportedly Fired For Refusing EBT Customer Cigarettes

A store clerk in New Hampshire was reportedly fired after she refused to let a customer use his EBT card to purchase cigarettes. Jackie Whiton did not know people in New Hampshire could use EBT cards, government assistance funds, to buy things like beer and cigarettes, but she does now. She wants New Hampshire to follow states like Massachusetts in cracking down on the use of the EBT cash option.
