When a technical glitch with welfare debit cards allowed people unlimited buying, the card’s users went wild at Walmart — which allowed the wild behavior to continue.
Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd said some customers were buying eight to ten grocery carts full of food.
The store in Mansfield temporarily closed because of overcrowding, and Mansfield Chief of Police Gary Hobbs said some shoppers left with up to eight carts of food and then went back for more.
The food shelves were left bare and all the meat was sold as well, Lynd said.
Shameful. This is what occurs in an entitlement society.
