Looks like wallyworld in Philadelphia was the smartest one. They just closed and lost business for a few hours.

Walmarts in Louisiana that stayed open with ‘unlimited’ cards and now have empty shelves are on the hook for that merchandise.

Short Walmart.

The one in Hazlhurst was letting people have $50/day charges too. Every EBT holder in our county must’ve turned up. It was wall to wall people. The meat went first.

Wonder just how much grocery merchandise walmart let walk out the door to avoid a wholesale riot and looting event?

I was in the Walmart in Covington, la at the time this was going on and something strange was happening with the WM electronic charging system. I used a credit card at the pharmacy and it completed the transaction and then flashed ‘swipe card’ for a second time. A management person had to be called to clear the system. later as i was checking out at the regular cash registers the woman ahead of me had her check card first go through a transaction and then flash ‘swipe card’ again . Again a management associate had to be called to clear the system. This seemed to be happening at other registers.

Maybe they will release that data. I would bet it is not a small amount.

Nothing like those ObamaPhones to get the word out!

Walmart avoided a riot. Some Walmarts closed. Apparently the manager in Springhill was a little bit intimidated.
