MANSFIELD, LA (KSLA) -Shelves in Walmart stores in Springhill and Mansfield, LA were reportedly cleared Saturday night, when the stores allowed purchases on EBT cards even though they were not showing limits.Additional LinksComputer issue, not government shutdown, likely cause of EBT card failuresThe chaos that followed ultimately required intervention from local police, and left behind numerous carts filled to overflowing, apparently abandoned when the glitch-spurred shopping frenzy ended.Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd confirms they were called in to help the employees at Walmart because there were so many people clearing off the shelves. He says Walmart was so packed, "It was worse than any black Friday" that he's ever seen.Lynd explained the cards weren't showing limits and they called corporate Walmart, whose spokesman said to let the people use the cards anyway. 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.Lynd says 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."Just about everything is gone, I've never seen it in that condition," said Mansfield Walmart customer Anthony Fuller.
Kayla Whaling, a spokesperson for Walmart, tells KSLA News 12 that the company was "fully engaged and monitoring the situation and transactions during the outage."
"We did make the decision to continue to accept EBT cards (and purchases on WIC and SNAP) during the outage so that they could get food for their families."
Asked whether Walmart would be taking the loss on any food purchased on the cards that did not show limits, or on the perishable food left behind in carts, Whaling would only say that "we monitored transactions during the outage."
The govt will have a record of who went over their limits (even though the cards didn't show a limit) and should deduct if from future EBT allotments.
Nope, no fraud there. Move along, citizens, move along.
Of course they knew. I hope the state presses charges...but they probably won't.Nope, no fraud there. Move along, citizens, move along.
They knew damn well what they were doing. I have been in stores and heard them getting the cards checked to see how much they have on them. They knew. It was 5 o'clock feeding at the reptile house.
and their updated cards should reflect these charges as a deficit. being given an entitlement doesn't remove you from responsibility and put you above the law.

Why don't you just put your hate thread where it belongs
the racism sub- forum.
Better yet, go to stormfront, where you belong, & leave the adults here alone.

i think the only hate people are feeling is even more abuse of an already overly abused system.

yes but klangrl (Sunshine) alludes to blacks on purpose because thats the racist piece of shit she is when the majority of people on public assistance are whites. Many of them single white mothers but that doesn't fit her racist meme.

I was a single mother from the time my children were 9 and 11, and I never drew one cent in welfare or food stamps. So shove it up your ass. And further, blacks don't say 'cheeeeeldrin.' They say 'chirrens.'
