A lot of low income people will use their food stamps to buy food and then make “plates” of food and sell them to convert food stamps into cash. Less shady and illegal than using a independant convenience store or bodega to make “withdrawals” from your food stamp account.

They get cash, you get cheaper gas. Ive never accepted the offer, but been solicited several times
