Remember that EBT Snafu that led to Walmart’s being almost destroyed, closed down, and their shelves stripped bare? Guess who gets to foot the bill for that. That’s right, Walmart.
And it look like they might deserve it. Turns out there are emergency procedures that limit EBT transactions to $50 in situations like this but Walmart ignored them and let people charge whatever they wanted. They claim it was because they didn’t want people to not get food they needed for their families but most people were taking out more food than they could fit in their fridges. In fact, it turns out that other area grocery stores followed the correct procedures and limited transactions to $50.
What do you think? Is it fair that Walmart foot the bill or should the Government? Or should they just take the money spent from each person’s account every month until it is paid off.

take it out of their accounts til it is paid off! If Walmart pays- WE pay. If the Govenment pays, WE pay… they stole plain and simple- but this can be tracked…

Take it out there account…They know how much they get every month and went over that amount…to me that is defrauding the EBT program.

Take it out of their accounts!!

Take it out of their accounts and prosecute everyone of them for stealing from and defrauding the government.

First thought was to take it back in monthly deductions from the people who ripped off the American Taxpayer. But I also think WM should be fined for not following procedure. Let WM pay 25% of the amount over the $50 per customer to a food bank, or to a school in their community, Vereran’s hospital, dog shelter, or some other worthwhile donation. They knew they didn’t follow procedure, just like those people knew what their limit was and how much they were ripping off the American people.
