    Food stamp glitch allows shoppers unlimited purchaces
    Wal mart in Louisiana is swamped with people, because a computer glitch didn't show balances
    on their SNAP cards. Knowing their Snap cards only have a certain amount, filling shopping carts
    to over flowing.

    Only a few got out of the store hauling $700 in food and products. When the glitch was fixed
    and was announced, people left with their carts full all over the store.

    A couple of Louisiana Walmart stores will be stuck with most of the bill after food stamp recipients went on a colossal shopping spree when a power outage temporarily lifted their spending limits, state officials said today.


    Now tell me, would any honest person who knows what they get every month, would fill their cart
    and then some with stuff they know they can't afford? Not these people!

    Guess what Wal mart, you are stuck with the bill, not the American people.

      That is stealing plain and simple.

      This is just ridiculous.

        I mean... who doesn't like free food? And would you rather have Walmart pay for welfare or the gov, i.e. your tax money. I don't feel sorry for Walmart one bit.

          You know, if welfare would end tomorrow, it would be worse than a full on Zombie apocalypse.

            It could've been worse, they could've flashed mobbed the joint.

            It just amazed me how fast the word spread..... free food! (also how many people had the card)
