WOMAN ORDERS STARBUCKS WITH FOOD STAMPS AT TARGET

A TikToker recorded herself getting a Starbucks drink with her government-issued Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, formerly known as food stamps, much to the chagrin of viewers.

Content creator and self-proclaimed “Queen of YouTube” Jinger Elizabeth (@imjingerwithaj_) starts the clip by saying, “Okay since the food stamp police was so motherf*cking mad about that video I made, I’m about to make them madder.”

She continues, “So did you know that if you go into like a Target, or if you have a Publix or whatever type of store like that that has like a Starbucks inside, you can use your food stamps in Starbucks.”

The TikToker then records herself placing an order, “Can I get a grande iced green tea, peach green tea made with lemonade and light ice please? Thank you.” The clip cuts to her swiping a card as the barista prepares her beverage. “Thank you so much,” she says, grabbing her drink.

A number of viewers also shared their own experiences of trying to use their benefits at Starbucks. One person wrote, “I tried it once and it didn’t work and I was so embarrassed. And it was a cold drink.” “Tried it at [my Starbucks],” read another comment. “Does not work.”
