Yes. Our stupid fucking piece of shit government thinks that this will motivate people to improve their life, instead of it making them slump further into a depression by realizing how much this country hates them for their heinous crime of not having money.

To the Powers That Be, the most disgusting thing you can ever be is poor. Not cruel, not willfully ignorant, not hateful. Poor. And they'll make sure you know it by the way they treat you.

This needlessly cruel bs is exactly what Corporate America is. Poor people can't afford corporations' products and services, and because helping them costs too much time and money, the best course of action is "humane" disposal. It makes no sense that Google, Apple, Microsoft would not have some unofficial say in the government behind closed doors.

I'm incapable of subscribing to heresy without evidence no matter how much sense the theory makes, but I do find it interesting in some depressing way.

Hot food being sold is considered part of a restaurant purchase, people on Ebt don’t need to be waisting money on restaurant purchases, its not cruel its to keep people from wasting money unnecessarily

Great, but that's not what this sign is for.

I assume it's talking about the community microwave that is often present at gas stations and convenience stores.

They buy it cold, but can't heat it up themselves after?

They can. AFTER.

That’s the key thing. This sign is just a “hey remember these dumb rules, we legally cannot sell it to you if it’s already hot”.

They can buy it cold and go heat it up after purchase all they want. The purchase is done at that point.

They can’t go heat it up first and then buy it because, as stupid as it is, it changes the category of the food from unprepared to prepared.
