PETERBOROUGH Jackie R. Whiton of Antrim had been a six-year employee at the Big Apple convenience store in Peterborough until a single transaction sent her job up in smoke.
The store clerk was fired after she refused to take a customers Electronic Balance Transfer card to pay for cigarettes.
Whiton said a young man came in to the store to buy two packs or cigarettes on May 29. When she asked him for his ID, he handed her his EBT card.
EBT cards are used for both food and cash assistance programs. There are two types of cards: one can only be used for food. The other can be spent on anything and used just like a debit card.
Whiton said she did not think EBT cards could be used to purchase cigarettes and refused to sell to him. The two had a little go-around as the line got longer behind him, said Whiton.
I made the statement, do you think myself, that lady and that gentlemen should pay for your cigarettes? and he responded yes, Whiton said.
The next day Whiton said the customers foster mother came to the store to complain. Whiton received a call later that day from the companys home office in Maine, telling her it had received a complaint about her and reprimanded her.
I said I would bow out gracefully and give my notice because I didnt want to be a part of it. Im 65 years old, you know? Whiton said.
Charles E. Wilkins, the general manager of the C.N. Brown Co. that runs the stores, said the EBT cards in the cash phase could be used for any items, including alcohol, tobacco and gambling. Wilkins said the company gave Whiton the option of staying but she said she would not accept the cards anymore.
She didnt think it was right and just wasnt going to sell to people in that program anymore, Wilkins said.
Whiton said when she came to work the next day, her manager asked her how much notice she was giving. When she responded a week, she was told the home office had just called and fired her.
Like some random old bitch that works at a depressing clerk job actually thinks she contributes to the tax base. Her high and mighty attitude is even more offensive than the lazy nagger.

Heck, she's taking a hint from Mayor Bloomberg and Mrs. Obama making sure the kid takes care of his health - how can she get fired for that?
I don't mind kicking a little into the system to help out old white people. I don't want to pay for nggers, though. Probably a lot of people feel that way.
