Craigslist makes turning food stamps into cash a SNAP

Craigslist makes turning food stamps into cash a SNAP. “On the bright side, at least the Craigslist website is working.” From the comments: “The other cool thing about SNAP is that after you sell it to someone you can call the office and tell them you lost yours. They will give you a new card on the spot, no questions asked. I’m not sure that any tracking of the ‘lost’ card is done.” Awesome.

  • I posted a help wanted ad on Craigslist once and hoo-boy, you should have seen the parade of degenerates that came to apply. Most didn't even bother to fill out an application once theysaw mention of a drug test on the application. Had better luck on Facebook asking my friends if they knew anyone looking for work that wouldn't rob me blind.

    • LOL! You should have put "Drug Free Workplace", or "DFWP" in the ad. You probably would only have had 3 people show up!

        • Well, you do live in Chicago............
          With the current administration, and all the freebies they are giving away, I'm surprised you could find someone that's looking for a job!

  • I think an FBI buddy of mine once told me that most of the stuff you see on Craig's List is stolen anyway, so this should encourage the creepy's and Oblovia's of the world.
