Part of the problem is the Government and even the States, the people who work for HHS are in on the fraud. To be fair, it just wasn't welfare people, it was everyone. Many of our business customers thought they had first dibs. I think i'll ride the next one out, stay at home and read a book.

Sully, I don't envy you one bit for having to deal with intangibles such as those who frequent your store. I would almost bet, that 98% of those who gave lame excuses were the same people who voted democrat...

Several months ago the EBT process center had a glitch and authorized every transaction even if the spending balance was zero. People at Wal-Mart began buying electronics, cleaned out the food isle. The Government claimed they would go after those involved but I haven't heard of ANYONE being prosecuted or losing their EBT privileges. Sully- your store would be wise to just lock the doors the next time power goes down as it's not worth it dealing with these animals.

For people to act like we were somehow tricking them boggles my mind, we actually lost money staying open, cash purchases no longer make up our daily quota. We need to make a certain amount to cover wages, insurance the cost of the food we buy, not to mention how much stuff we will have to throw away because people didn't have the cash to pay for it. If this was a larger scale emergency, I am sure all hell would have broke loose. I keep 200 in small bills tucked away in my wallet... [ More ]

This is the result of what happens, when a group of uneducated, low mentality people, expect their free stuff, come he!! or high water. You can thank the DEMONocrats.

A lot of people figure they are above all those rules, entitlement you know. Emily, I don't think they'd even want to know how to survive. Nanny state syndrome. You must have some stories about surviving Hitler.

Glad you are here Miss Emily, what's even sadder, the grocery store less than half mile away was on full power and still people chose to stay and cause back ups and wasted out time as well as their own.

We lost power last night around 8 pm, newsman said big storm on the way, we have a generator so we can keep the fridge cold and have a few lights. We can't run the computer or tv, cause it's not on the same circuit or whatever it's called.

We've been going through this all summer, bad storm after bad storm.

This is not the story, my story begins at work. I worked the 10 to 4 shift today, got to work and found out we also lost power and our phone lines, we were on a generator also.

We put big signs on the doors saying CASH ONLY, We CANNOT process EBT, CREDIT, DEBIT OR CHECKS

NO PHONE LINES

We had a guy at the door telling every customer....cash only

When the customer got to the check out once again we reminded them, CASH ONLY!

Can you guess how many people loaded up carts anyway?

Can you guess how many people let us process their transactions knowing this? If you said all the EBT people you would be correct, if you said one in five credit card customers, you would be correct. This is where the mayhem begins, constantly calling managers to void transactions, calling stockers to put all the food away.

Somehow people thought things would magically be fixed since they were there, or that they could lie to us and we would process orders just for them, then we got the threats, name calling, and horrific lies.

Here's some of the fun things I heard today

But I have EBT,

But I have American express

But I have to keep my insulin cold

But I have kids

But I don't have time to go to another store

But I have to go to work

But I just had surgery

You all are just racist

I'm calling the attorney general

I'm calling corporate

You'll run my card or you'll be fired.

This wasn't 1 or 2 people, this was 6 straight hours of people refusing to believe the phones lines and power outage could cause this.

Thick headed stupidity ruled the day.

I have no kind words for people who were told over and over ( sound familiar) no phone lines, no processing electronic transactions.

This gave me a glimpse at just how unprepared people are, everyone knew the storm was coming, everyone knew we spent the summer with power outs and still they did not lift a finger to help themselves or be prepared.

The really bad news for you people, if this was more serious then a small power out, your probably going to be the first to perish, those of us who had to put up with your BS, we won't miss you.

And no, I am not giving out anymore hints on how to be prepared, 1, you don't listen, 2, you can't comprehend anyway.
