Yes, Harris Teeter takes EBT, and every North Carolina store rings it up at the register the same way it rings up a debit card. That covers a cart of bread, milk, meat, and produce at any of the chain’s locations, from Matthews to Waxhaw to Wilmington. But here’s the part that trips up regular…
Florida Power & Light overcharged its customers for 2024’s hurricane damage, and the Florida Public Service Commission ordered an $80 million refund in July because of it.
