Food-Stamp System Failure Leads to Massive Walmart Shopping Sprees [VIDEO]

On Saturday, two Louisiana Walmart stores had their grocery sections raided by food-stamp recipients whose benefit cards had their spending limits removed by mistake.

On Saturday, the Electronic Benefits Transfer system, which processes all food-stamp financing, malfunctioned due to failed backup generator. This glitch temporarily eliminated the standard spending caps for some people, while completely disabling them for others.

Needless to say,  word spread quickly and people flocked to the Superstore and filled multiple baskets each.

“It was definitely worse than Black Friday. It was worse than anything we had ever seen in this town, There was no food left on any of the shelves, and no meat left. The grocery part of Walmart was totally decimated.”

That from Police Chief Will Lynd.  People were leaving with “eight to 10 grocery carts,” Lynd added, with one person walking out with more than $700 in goods.

When the fire sale ended people ran and abandoned hundreds of overflowing baskets in the isles.

What do you think? Needy or Greedy?
