Haven't you learned yet, it's never a corporation's fault, it's ALWAYS either the government or the little people or both. Never our corporate overlords. Facism, Communism, Socialism, all wrong in their attempts to tag Obama, or Democrats, or Republicans,.. what we have here and pretty much globally is an oligarchy.WalMart is as guilty as the people.
"Lynd explained the cards weren't showing limits and they called corporate Wal-Mart, whose spokesman said to let the people use the cards anyway."

Starve to death.... geez you folks are all about illogical and irrational and hysterical and drama queen quality hype.I guess they could just say no and let people starve to death. That's not terribly P.C., now is it?

Really? What else was the store supposed to do? They had two options:
1. Nobody gets to use an EBT until things are fixed or;
2. You just take people's word for what's available.
WalMart is going to end up taking the hit on this because they will only be reimbursed whatever the cardholder's limit was.
Not necessarily. However I do have to say that my schadenfreude is all lit up and glittering just knowing that WalMart is going to get screwed on those balances. If it's REAL bad, then it indicates that associates (employees) as well as customers must have spread the word pretty quickly. More power to 'em, I say, WalMart deserves to be screwed by both.According to the new liberal economic paradigm, this little mishap is a good thing. The poor going on spending sprees helps them out, boosts demand, the demand causes companies to hire more people, those people then spend more money, and then those businesses earn and invest and hire more, the economy grows, we reach full employment, and our debt problems are resolved.

Walmart is a terrible place. It's the only place that these things happen. How many stores have an annual trampling death rate?
For the record, #1 would have been the right thing to do.

Failing to recognize the historical effect Walmart has had on people needing welfare and subsidies is a reflection on you, not me.Gotta love the selective hatred. Millions of shoppers mindlessly deal-seeking for the most bargain-basement prices, government subsidizing them to do so, and but it's the company--that responds to what those consumers want (low prices) and takes advantage of government's enabling--that deserves all our wrath.

Honestly, although the people are not blameless here, Walmart is much more responsible after they realized there was no limit and still allowed it to happen. The government should hold WalMart responsible for any overcharges.
The businesses around here put up signs to apologize and say that they simply couldn't accept EBT due to a system problem and that is what WalMart should have done, unless they are willing to cover the additional costs.
There are options...What was Wal-Mart supposed to do? Cut them off? There would have been a riot!

Yes. Its WalMarts fault for allowing poor people to buy food for their family and THATS what caused everyone to spread the word and make a run on Walmart stealing shopping carts full of food they knew they couldnt afford.WalMart is as guilty as the people.
