How STUPID can Walmart be for allowing these people for a solid 2 hours to use EBT benefit cards (while the EBT system was "down" and the amounts on their cards unverifiable). These people loaded up their carts like they just hit the lottery.

Well, since you're talking Wal-Mart, the answer is infinitely stupid. Since it's a stupid, trashy store for stupid, trashy people.

Those people who have EBT cards are extremely busy, and to make them have to try and find time to come back in and shop then you probably would lose more money then a few of them overflowing their carts and not having enough funds to cover it.

EBT system goes down and the stampede of Entitlement takers, taking what they haven’t earned, destroying what isn’t theirs and abusing what is intended to help all the poor and needy families and individuals.
Here is a government run program in failure mode, some some can be said for Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and with the biggest potential fraud/failure and disarray program of all Obamacare.

What you see is what the future holds ….

How stupid are people to believe Walmart won't go after them for the goods they stole.

Reps

There better be a follow up story on this within the coming days telling the public that Walmart is indeed pressing charges of theft on these "crooks". Also, there better be a follow up story stating that whatever "overage" these crooks got away with with be DEDUCTED from their next EBT card(s) until the balance is made up in full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shhh...don't tell the sheep that there are, in reality, a lot of really poor, welfare trash people who vote R to go with the ones who vote D. They like to pretend that all the leeches are on one side so they feel superior.

I don't see how this is wal-mart's fault....unless the cards had a daily limit they had to honor them. How would they know which were legit or not? As for the people using them past the limit what will (or should) happen is that future payments to their card will be netted out. Watch them gripe then.

And the 2 municipalities are largely Black - this shouldn't be a political debate, but do you really think that was a bunch of people that voted for Romney? Did you watch the video? It is on the front page of Drudge.

All these people should be prosecuted for abusing the system. If they abused it this time, I'm pretty confident is they abuse they system all the time.

So 42% of the people are on EBT? Shocking!

I'd be $10k that none of these people voted for Romney.

OC leftists ranting about EBT card abuse. You clowns continue to vote for idiots in DC who create the welfare mess then try to pin the fault of this obvious computer "glitch" on the fact that Louisiana tends to vote Republican.

Apparently it happened in leftist voting Ohio too (http://www.ksla.com/story/23675538/official-ebt-card-systems-now-up-and-running):





STFU

If you were $10k, you'd have real cash value!
