Is it wrong to get my government cheese from Uncle Sam?

I'm a cashier at a Publix grocery store in Atlanta. Every day lots of obviously poor people come through to buy food with EBT (food stamps). But also a lot of people who have nice clothes and cool tattoos and other costly stuff and don't appear to be homeless or desperate get their food with EBT.

I don't make a lot of money and I have a lot of debt but I am loyal to my employer and my country. So far I have not applied for EBT myself because I don't want to be a drain on the public debt and on the US in general, but it makes me upset to see that other people don't seem to feel this way. I believe that there is a culture of acceptance of getting on public assistance with no regard for the cost to everyone else.

So my question is: should I apply for EBT too? It would really increase the quality of my life if I could get some subsidy for my own groceries. Does the budget for EBT depend on how many people are signed up, or is it fixed? If it's fixed, then I wouldn't feel so bad because if I don't get enrolled, somebody I would be annoyed with probably will. If I get on EBT, does that make me a bad citizen? Be honest, I won't take it personally.
