I was behind a woman the other day at the service counter at the Publix. She seemed wired out of her mind on something. I still don’t know exactly what all was going on. She was returning stuff that was half opened, buying stuff, buying cigarettes, lottery tickets. Had to split the payment. Yada yada yada.

Turns out I see the display screen and it seemed to me that she returned food she bought to pay for the cigarettes and lottery tickets, and paid for the food w/ her ebt card.

Whatever the hell she did, she seemed to be on drugs and held up a line of people for about 5 minutes. I almost wanted to stop her and ask her to thank the 7 people in line for paying for her groceries.

Hmmm.

Anyone want to bother correlating the states affected by the 'glitch' and the ones involved in this?

Good, should make the grocery lines a lot shorter and a lot faster.

I don’t think that is it. It seems credit or debit cards at stores were doing some kind of work in their systems. They keep updating the systems making everything stupid.

I was just at Meijers in Columbus Ohio, and they were putting up signs at the self serve registers about EBT cards not working.

Does anybody know how much money is siphoned from hard-working honest productive people and piped to indolent democrat voters?
I’ll bet it’s 30% on average of our earnings.

I just back from grocery shopping in Milford, Ohio and there were signs on the doors saying EBT system wasn’t working.

Just saw a sign at my local Kroger: “EBT Down. Sorry” in north Louisiana.

I guess this is all over the country.

I have no problem cutting off that system for a few years and making people
actually go to the Gov office to sign for the food stamps. It should never
be so easy as swiping a damn Debit card!

Mississippi and Louisiana supposedly affected by this as well—saw from a news article linked by a Facebook friend that this is affecting EBT cards in seventeen states right now, but the vendor “expects to have it resolved shortly.”

I guess they’ll be breaking in and looting all the supermarkets, taking what is ‘rightfully’ theirs.

Went to the market today to get some seafood salad, and noticed a lot of restocking of un purchased items.

Asked why, and they said food stamp cards aren’t working.

Checked two other markets, same story.

One clerk told me it’s the whole state of California.

Having seeing it mentioned on FR about other states, I told him no, it’s the whole country and that Obama voters are going to be quite mad as that is the way he “paid” them to vote for him.

The clerk was not amused.

Other workers at other markets were mad at dems and Obama, the people in a lot of cases know who is causing this.

One store worker said they are going to cut off WIC (Women, Infants, and Children—and lazy surfers like the one interviewed on TV who was buying lobster for his friends), food for women from soon to be mothers to those with small children.

Lots of restocking at all the markets, I imagine the refrigerated and frozen food my cause some problems for those with money to buy them after they sit in a cart for a long time before getting restocked.
