this is human nature, everybody will take advantage of a situation where it can benefit themselves, unless you are a complete fool.
if i had an ebt card and heard about this i wouldve been down there with all of them, just like the majority of posters who say this is a despicable act. quit with the holier than thou card.
we all take advantage of situations in our everyday lives to benefit ourselves at the expense of others.

im tired of people pretending that they are goodie two shoes, who never do anything wrong.
the truth: majority of people will take advantage of a situation to benefit themselves if they believe they can get away with it. that includes the majority of posters on here.
We'll keep in mind what group you have declared membership in.
This situation is, of course, despicable....but there's a lot of non-welfare scum out there too. A gas station around here screwed up programming the pumps and unwittingly began selling gas for 49 cents a gallon.
They figured it out pretty quick when they noticed that cars (including plenty of Benzes, Lexus, etc) were wrapped around the block trying to get in there. From the pics I saw, most of these "customers" did NOT fit the WalMart shopper profile.
How is this related? The agreed price of the fuel was 49 cents. Whether it was intended or not, it doesn't matter. If you had 49 cents, you could rightfully buy a gallon of gas. So what's next... When a store runs 50% off sales, we are in the wrong for buying the goods?
Every person who used their EBT card, should be held personally responsible for ALL amounts unpaid, plus interest from time of purchase. Failure to reimburse Walmart will mean getting charged with fraud, and going to jail.
It is not like the card # were not logged with copies of the receipts, Next month they may not have a balance at all.
Consequences.
That's what should happen, but will it? Probably not. Someone in government will excuse them because of the glitch and there won't be any consequences so they'll be all primed and ready to do it again the next time there is a glitch in the system.

So we are going to be "moralists" now? Wal-Mart screwed up and basically gave away free food to people who have EBT cards. These cards have balance limits on them so how dumb of a manager of a Wal Mart do you have to be when you see multiple people in your store with grocery carts filled to the brim and EBT isn't working?
Make Xerox pay for their "snafu" not the Government.
There can be a negative balance for any number of reasons on an EBT Card, including over-payment of benefits or the receipt of unauthorized benefits. Recompense can be pro-rated over a period of time, or lump sum. It works the same as OASI, OADI and SSI. If you're over-paid for any reason, they take it out of your next payment.
Don't be surprised if those people are rioting November 1, because they still have a negative balance on their EBT Cards.
There's a thread on here somewhere about a US Postal Worker being beaten to death by an angry mob for the crime of delivering the welfare checks a few minutes later than normal.
Remembering....
Mircea
So that's why when I lived on the same carrier route as a housing project, the project got its mail first.
Its Walmarts dime, I could care less... their decision, their dime... you can't prosecute the fraudsters who claim "they didn't know and forgotten the last balance inquiry" because you can't prove otherwise...
A jury might find otherwise.
