Costco's testing out food stamp acceptance
It looks like Costco, seller of (sometimes ridiculously large) bulk products, is finally taking steps towards accepting food stamps.
They are testing food stamp acceptance in two New York City stores, which ideally will then carry over to the rest of the chain.
One of the reasons that Costco is making this shift is because other wholesale stores like BJ’s have already begun accepting food stamps at their stores.
Well, that and the fact that tons more people are on food assistance and it just makes good business sense for the company and for the consumers.
It seems like a win-win for everyone. Let’s hope that this plan rolls out nationally soon!
