Food stamp users across Mississippi and neighboring states were being declined Saturday morning as they tried to use their EBT, or Electronic Benefit Transfer, cards at grocery, dollar and convenience stores.
A Sam's Club member services representative, however, said the cards would work if purchases were broken down into smaller increments worth less than $90, but one food stamps user said his card wouldn't work for a $4 purchase.

No, not my money, that is what they are saying on twitter, you should read some of this stuff
Wonder how much money it is costing them for the Internet service to get on Twitter, that could be used, instead, for food?
Just checkin' to see how much time they need to round up the Tea Party, Whitey and his guns before "commander zero's" civilian defense force starts redistributin'.
Sorry...I was replying to the twitter quote ‘Where my money at?’
dream_gurl11 8 minutes ago They officially cut off food stamps at winn dixie... Ppl left the baskets and walked out.
Are you reading their twitter’s-unreal.
Read some of the tweets the EBTers are posting. As long as whitey will feed them, they’ll use the cards. Shamelessly.
And no, that’s no more racist than John Derbyshire writing about ‘the talk’ on NR. For which he was fired. Spineless jellyfish.
Just the facts, ma’am.
These people are not the same species.
Yeah Im reading some of them, I dont know whether to laugh or cry..after reading these twitter posts there is no question as to why Obama was elected not once but twice..before I can say I understood why but after reading this, yeah now I get it
They want riot’s.
They’re probably tweeting from their Obamaphones.
Can someone tell me why one person needs 6 boxes of Jimmy Dean breakfast croissants..and damn..that is a lot of meat, even for a large family
Wasn’t just MS or just Sam’s. Was at VA Costco and Aldi’s today. Both had signs saying EBT not working, only cash/debit/credit card purchases.
Why am I not surprised they do not have the courtesy to put the goods back on the shelves? Don’t they know the hassle they created for the people who work...oh, yeah. Never mind.
Single mom, twelve kids; all with different last names. :-)
Yep, most of the tweets are from blacks who are threatening to riot unless their EBT cards work again. Ive seen plenty of white people use these cards too so its a mix, but the ones who are pissed off on twitter are majority black..gee, makes ya wonder..they are so poor they need EBT cards yet they can tweet from their computers or phones..how did they get the money to afford those things(Or is it Obamaphones and Obamacomputers for everyone)
HAHAHA..and I guess those kids all like Jimmy Dean Croissants LOL..Ive never had one wonder if they are any good
Same thing here in rural Georgia.
