I dunno what to tell you. It's been a thing since I worked a retail job as a kid and was warned to advise management if someone was buying "a lot" of cat food and seemed poorer than average. Found an article. It's one of those things where there were PDAs about it in the 80s, there's articles of it happening during the pandemic, but I'm not finding any scholarly articles.

Probably hard to get someone to admit to.
