Animals. Wild animals!

swamp snorkler 10-14-2013 06:43 AM

I read one report that at 9:00 a Walmart announced over the louspeaker that the glitch was fixed and the cards were showing limits. People just left all their buggies filled with groceries in the middle of the store and left.

They know how much money these heathons spent, take it out of their accounts for the next few months.

"W" 10-14-2013 07:02 AM

On the facebook page a woman said not all who are on foodstamps are bad people, she said she can not find a job and if state is going to help feed her kids, She will take it



So I told her she was the problem people who really need them dont have internet and facebook page!!! Or a smart phone to post from


That is whats wrong

Matt G 10-14-2013 07:39 AM

This incident is Wal-Marts fault. They should have known better than to let them use there cards knowin the system was down and not showing balances. Not all people on welfare are heathens like the animals are, but they are greatly outnumbered.

Your exactly right. That's the pathetic part about it. Had I been caught stealing, because what these people did was stealing, I had been thrown in jail. The MFers get there tab picked up compliments of the good ol taxpayer. America, where you only mean something if you vote for a living. :shaking:

RedXCross 10-14-2013 10:46 AM

Yep,

And you can bet your AZZ the next time the floors are restocked the prices will reflect sooner than later.

Its so funny how they think THEY are getting away with anything. I could say a few more things, but It will do no good .

alert
 
I just got an alert from katc stating that the STORES will be held responsible for the over charges on the FOOD STAMP cards, now that aint right, the low lifes should be held accountable

The Louisiana Department of Child and Family Services says no tax dollars were lost this weekend when the system that processes food stamp charges went off line.

According to Trey Williams with DCFS, emergency procedures were in place to prevent unauthorized state funds from being spent. Williams says stores that accept EBT payments were supposed to call Xerox, the contractor who administers the EBT program in Louisiana, to receive an authorization number for purchase over $50.

Some stores, Williams says, did not follow that procedure and saved the transactions until Xerox fixed the glitch in the EBT system. According to Williams, the stores that saved the purchases instead of calling for an authorization number will receive only the amount of money available on the EBT cards used in their stores. Any purchases that went over an available balance, he says, will have to be covered by those stores.

Williams says the state is looking at the contract with Xerox to see if any terms were breeched during the outage.

Lake Chuck Duck 10-14-2013 03:00 PM

Walmart has more money than the government anyway, I assure that they wont be affected by this. Still ridiculous. Can you imagine the calls, mass texts, tweets, facebooks goin out on the Obama phones sayin "get your azz to walmart they given out free groceries! As full as you can fill your buggy!" Sickening

jpeff31787 10-14-2013 04:14 PM

they know how much was put on those cards.. that amount should be deducted from the card owner for the following months until they have paid for the groceries themselves... effin BS!!

My wife(gf at the time) was layed off of her job, and searched desperately for another job and her bank accounts were running out, so she applied for food stamps and she was denied over and over again. And you know there were ppl applying with diamond rings in both ears, diamonds on their fingers, and pulling up in Mercedes benz getting their cards....

Wal mart should pick up the tab. They were notified something was wrong and they said go with it. Instead of denying the cards until it was up and running again. Wal mart was looking to make a load on the tax payers dollar and could've given 2 ****s. Matter of fact when they were back online a woman got caught charging $700 on her car when in reality her balance was $.49 police asked if wal mart wanted to press charges and they said nahhh. **** em all. Wal mart is just as much to blame as the wild animals that tore their stores up. I mean as soon as the shopping spree was over they left baskets full of **** for someone else to pick up and put away.

southern151 10-14-2013 04:39 PM

"Attention Wal-Mart employees...We have a clean up on Isle 3. We have a clean up on isles 3, 4, 14 and, 19. Hell, we have a store that looks like New Orleans in the post-Katrina days! We're gonna need some backup. Over."

if you shop at walmart don't expect to see "healthy" food items. They have some but for the most part processed crap food lines the shelves. The majority of the shopping carts of an EBT card holder will be filled with these items. Who benefits? The large corporate companies which manufacture this crap along with the large stores such as WalMart. It is a sick cycle which benefits one party and screws another (working tax paying citizen)

The complexity may be more than what I've described but some company is winning in all of this, but you must trace the money trail to see it.

southern151 10-14-2013 05:04 PM

I wonder if Looter Dude made an appearance? Does anyone have any photographic "evidence" of his involvement?

eman 10-14-2013 05:34 PM

The DFS says that they have records of ALL snap transactions. DFS also says that on first conviction of SNAP fraud you will loose you SNAP benefits for one year.
Anyone want to bet that all of a sudden the records from the 2 wal marts in question will mysteriously vanish ?

papap 10-14-2013 06:51 PM

Wal Mart will just pass the loss to the consumers.

You got that right. It makes me fighting mad to see some POS holding an iphone in one hand an EBT card in the other in the check out. I have no problem with people needing help during hard times but EBT IS NOT A CAREER OPPURTUNITY. My wife swears im gona end up in a fight in a parking lot because of it one day. Im quick to start talking trash about someone wearing $500 in clothes and shoes and holding a $400 cell phone and using food stamps. I let em know that I hope they enjoy the ribeyes im paying for. They wana whip my azz so be it. They gona have to get past the business end of a 1911 first. They could all starve to death and it would matter to me not. In fact we would be better off if they all did just that. Keep in mind im talking about the animals that are off their chains not people that truely need help.

That's exactly my wife's same thoughts, but she has first hand experience with it a few weeks ago. We were standing in line at krogers in Sulphur and a family of lowlifes wearing big *** hoop earrings and hollering on the phone while their 10 kids ran around the aisles were in front of us with not one but TWO buggies. Now the first buggy was filled with regular EBT items allowed which us hard working people dont see as much as they do and of course they used their EBT card to pay for and the 2nd buggy was full of old Milwaukee, some patron and mad dog 20/20 which they paid CASH for. I completely lost it at that point and let them have a piece of my mind, which I got called white trash for and all **** broke loose. It ended up with 5-0 to get called out.

I would write the full details but I would be banned for life from SC!

I'm not necessarily a racist, I'm just simply saying if you hide their EBT cards under their workboots they sure as hell won't find them!

T-Bone 10-14-2013 08:24 PM

It's instilled in them from birth....when that is all you know and all your taught by your grandmother and mother.......notice I did not mention a father or daddy because they are non existent. This is no longer the America our Fore Fathers created......Might as well change the name to Chinusa.......Hope you guys know how to grow a garden, shoot a gun and catch fish. Hank was the Einstein of Country Music. A Country boy can and WILL survive. I got no use for the ones standing on the side of the road having to hold up there pants while walking down the street. I feel so much better now.

duckman1911 10-14-2013 08:58 PM

Sad thing is they went nuts over a minor system glitch. A full meltdown is really gona be something. Best case scenario is after they empty walmart they start killing each other over nikes and big scterns at the mall. Its sad that even in a major melt down they would expect walmart to be stocked for their next trip. Lack of self preservation has always amused me. Even by so called intelligent people in our state. We live close to Alexandria and it nevet fails with hurricanes I see people scooping up cases of over priced water at convinient stores. I cant help but laigh at them. I got water I just stopped to get an extra half gallon of bourbon in case its worse than I thought

jlsch1 10-14-2013 09:01 PM

This is the new America.
This program should be for elderly, true poor not thugs that think poor, and sick.
Sad part is program goes out to none of the above.
People who really need the services would not do this.
The people that did this are the entitled people.
These programs Section 8, food stamps, etc to keep people in a voting pool happy.

Nothing will come of this incident.
Funny how the word spread fast I think Wal-mart encouraged this activity.
Wal-mart gambled over greed and lost big time.
Will they file charges no due to they are just as guilty by not following the rules.
I think local law enforcement should send bills to the Wal-marts for the extra security they had to provide due to their greed.
This drop in the bucket because Wal-mart will get more money from their vendors to pay for this and consumer will pay for this.
Why do you think they have A,B,C prices depending on the stores location?
A lower price in competitive market and you guess it C prices are for less competitive markets.
They will still try to file suit against Xerox.

Still the choice of right and wrong was left up to the individual. The people stealing are the ones to blame. I dont think walmart will profit from this. The state will not honor the over charges and walmart will have to eat the loss. I just dont see walmart corporate being on the ball on this. Now Tyone and Shaniqua can organise their EBT army in minutes using their iphones.

Absolutely right, EBT users sign a contract stating they will abide by all rules or lose benefits. One of those rules is not exceeding the $50 dollar limit, they all blatently broke this rule and should lose all benefits or should have the total cost of items purchased deducted from their benefits.

I also agree walmart should have not allowed this to happen but either way they were screwed. If they would have denided use of the cards then the users would have moaned and whined that walmart was starving poor people.

southern151 10-15-2013 08:50 AM

I said it a while back that if "the system" ever fails them, they'll become the most dangerous people out there. Imagine if went down for real! It would be riots and, home invasions!

Aim small, miss small around my house though. You can't fix this level of stupid.

jlsch1 10-15-2013 12:25 PM

Something does seem odd that Wal-marts in certain markets which are mainly poor minority markets had these issues. These stores typically have high theft, low profit, and turns are lower on more profitable sku's.

October typically is a slow time of year right between back to school and thanksgiving/xmas and this would be a good boost for your lower producing stores.

Look at the stores in Louisiana (two in North, LA; Donaldsonville, St Martin Parish) and Mississippi like Philadelphia, MS that had these issues. They are all smaller stores in typically poorer minority markets where alot of the customers are on assistance. These are the only stores we heard of, but I am sure other certain areas had same issues.

Just things don't add up that Wal-mart wasn't apart of the greed also.
Things that show this
1. Not questioning why are people buying large amounts of items?
2. Coming on intercom saying that louisiana purchase cards systems back up?
3. Not pressing charges of lady who tried to buy alot of food on her card when system came back up?

Top Dawg 10-15-2013 03:52 PM

Doesn't do much good to press charges. Won't show up to court. Won't pay fines. Put them in jail just another animal in a cage we paid to feed and house.

Cant prosecute someone for theft if the item or items never leaves the store. I agree that she had all intentions of stealing the stuff. That person knew exactly what they were doing. The law just doesnt allow for prosecution in that circumstance. Just a bunch of animals that need to be delt with accordingly.

PEACEKEEPER 10-15-2013 04:34 PM

I think it should go down like this. If they made the purchases then ok the card has the record of the purchase on its account! So if the account shows a purchase of $1,000.00 then the card holder will have their balance deducted from the card each month until the balance reaches back even! So that would mean they couldn't buy anything for a couple months! If they complain I would tell them " Hey you got an advance, so manage it!"

jchief 10-15-2013 09:14 PM

Heard on the news earlier that they are pressing charges on some of them. One had $0.49 and charged $700 plus.

There is a local meat market just up from our shop and they accept EBT. Part of me says at least this guy is making back some of his tax money but then again it burns my azz knowing a food stamper can walk in and get rib eyes and new york strip steaks cut to order.
