Please note also that the SNAP card, in at least some jurisdictions, is visually very distinctive, because we can't let people just have a food subsidy card without shaming them a little bit. We persist in seeing financial straits as a moral failing and it's frankly a sin.

This is why we administer SNAP benefits the way we do. It's about dignity. Recipients don't have to wait in a breadline. They can shop in normal stores and swipe a card like anybody else. If this store gets "aid for poor people" stink on it, it'll be underutilized, which would suck for everyone.

In Maryland it's a bright yellow and orange card with bright red lettering across the top, a red stripe across the middle, and more red lettering at the bottom. Maybe nobody pays attention to how you pay for groceries, idk, but I always felt exposed using it, and I see other people using it.

It's not something to comment on vocally, but it reflects the financial well-being of the median household in this area (Baltimore City and immediate surroundings) being... less than wonderful.

Meanwhile in Washington, it's largely a darker colored card that is hard to tell from a normal credit card to the degree that the only way you'll know if the person in front of you is using EBT is if they try to buy something not covered and the clerk let's them them know.
