That link is to investment watch.com, for anyone who was wondering.

I think it's baffling that t-w-a-t is censored.  Isn't that more of a British thing anyways?  It's like censoring "wanker".

 On top of that:

The people that spent welfare at walmart committed welfare fraud.  They can be suspended for 3 years!

Most likely, the computer kept track of who spent what.  So now, they have to wait until their future payments pay off the debt the users made during the glitch.

Actually the SNAP program said that walmart is liable for collecting the money since it they overridden protocol.

 Sure, we blame the customers for committing the fraud, yes, but lest we forget that Wal-Mart allowed it to happen on their watch at these locations, when other stores were simply not accepting the cards and stamps. Where's Wal-Mart's responsibility in all this? The blame should be shared evenly, shouldn't it?

Walmarts greed truly showed their colors and they paid for it. Kroger would never accept Food Stamps while the system is down like many stores and Walmart knows this. They're not worried about feeding families as they claim. What they were really worried about is cashing in on this opportunity because they would be the only ones accepting Food Stamps during the downtime and they got bitten. I do blame the customers absolutely for taking advantage of their generosity to accept it during the downtime, but a big mistake on their poor for their greed. Just wait until 4th quarter. Walmart is fixing to take a nose dive and I forsee it.

My store did the paper voucher thing too. But it was still handled a lot better than what happened in that Walmart store.
