Panicked Food Stamp Shoppers Clean Out Walmart Shelves | Independent Journal Review

Panicked Food Stamp Shoppers Clean Out Walmart Shelves | Independent Journal Review: "From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700.00 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Walmart said they wouldn’t press charges if she left the food.

At 9 p.m., when the cards came back online and it was announced over the loud speaker, people just left their carts full of food in the aisles and left. Walmart employees could still be seen putting food from the carts back on the shelves as late as Sunday afternoon.

So, Walmart attempts to help needy families buy food during a computer glitch that prohibits the company from checking EBT card balances – and this is what happens. Yet, the left rants about “corporate greed.”"
