The transaction was denied, I'd be pissed as a tax payer if the transaction had gone through. Isn't that the entire purpose of these 'benefit cards' that ******s like these can't cash their welfare cheques on ipads.

I understand that it didn't go thru but I could imagine how many other things that lady had bought with my tax money before she got caught or how many other people misuse these benefits that we are working for.
