GUESS WHO’S FOOTING THE BILL FOR THAT WALMART FOOD STAMP FIASCO (IT MAY NOT BE WHO YOU THINK)
Walmart will be on the hook for the glitch-prompted shopping spree that nearly wiped out stores in Louisiana after the Electronic Benefit Transfer system temporarily removed spending limits on food stamp recipients’ cards.
The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, which oversees the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, said Walmart will have to foot the bill for store losses in Springhill and Mansfield, La., during a food shopping frenzy.
No card is limitless, DCFS spokesman Trey Willims told KSLA-TV. Usually when outages occur, he said, it’s the store’s responsibility to take action, include calling a number to verify customers’ card limits. More
walmart eat the loss? yeah right! this is a company that pays it's employees minimum wage with no health care benefits. The average customer will pay in higher prices! So now obummer has fulfilled his pledge free everything! cars phones gas food health care. Why would any of those folks ever want to work again!
8:18 - "they" don't want to work again. As we saw in other posts, "they" threatened to riot if the cards use was not restored...not realizing that the rest of us have to manage our income and budgets.
So, there's NO responsibility of the card user to monitor his or her use of their card? I, for one, am getting tired of bending over to pick up after people who make messes like this.
As a store manager common sense should tell you that no one has an unlimited amount on an ebt card right after a system outage? Really? Pure incompetence or accomplice take your pick. Not to mention the procedure is to call during an outage.
"Dear Wal-Mart shoppers, our store will not be accepting EBT cards today due to system malfunction. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, CALL 1-800 OBAMA and thanks for shopping at Wal-Mart"
8:18 A walmart employee is one of the lowest denominations in the work force. Only the cashiers do their job, because they have to. Minimum is good enough.

If you can understand what he wrote, I suggest you two are lower denominators.
