The reason why EBT only takes cold prepared foods instead of hot is because they are then getting into the restaurant category for EBT. The Circle K near me has hot breakfast sandwiches and cold breakfast sandwiches. If I wanted to use my EBT card I had to get the cold ones, pay for it, then I could microwave it in their microwave. I could not nuke it before I paid for it. If I did I would have to pay cash just like I bought one under the heat lamp as opposed to the cooler. If they would let me use my EBT for a hot one, then we’re getting into the category would go through the drive-through of McDonald’s and get a McMuffin with my EBT. That’s not going to happen so I understand why things have to be cold.

From my experience with Reddit it seems to me that the average poster is a bit younger. Technically they’re not wrong about calling or finding out. Then again pretty much anything can be googled. There’s nothing wrong with possibly seeing if anyone knows first hand or works down there or wherever. I like technology like anybody else. There Is nothing wrong about having a human element about it also. It seems like a lot of posters under age 30 don’t have great communication skills yet are a bit smug and think they know everything.

I just did a quick search. Pennsylvania macaroni Company a.k.a. Pennmac Is open 8 to 4. Presto George is closed. Stamoolis is closed. Colangelo’s bakery is closed. Jimmy and Nino Sunseri is open at 9 AM. Enricos Bakery is open at 9 AM also. These places are going to close like three or four in the afternoon for the most part. This is usually when they close anyway because like I said they are family businesses and not chains. So there are a few options. As you can see some are still celebrating the holidays because Monday is actually Christmas observed for some businesses.

My suggestion would to venture down there. Some things will be open and maybe some not. Remember that these aren’t chains down there. The vast majority of the businesses are family run. Having said that, some of them may have decided to spend an extra day or two with their families during the holidays . The only way to know is by either calling or venturing down there yourself and as someone suggested, Google it. My bet is that most places Will open. I try not to be a smart ass and I hope that helps.
