EBT card not working | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1479583 United States 10/12/2013 05:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i think we all know where the source of this "glitch" can be found. this is an obvious budgetary temper tantrum by a leader willing to stir up civil unrest to achieve his desired spending increases, and anxious to keep his precious health care takeover alive. this is an individual who would be willing to watch cities burned to the ground by an army of angry ebt cardholders just to get his way. no one believes this is a computer glitch. |

YOU COULDN'T MOVE in there it was so crowded!! Took us over and hour to check out with all isles open. I hate rice and beans but loaded up just in case. Quoting: SeriouslyFolks Rice, beans, pasta, sugar, salt, wheat, oats, all last forever. Flours last at least 10 years. Canned goods that are not acidic (i.e. tomatoes) 5+ years - acidic that is in plastic lined cans should be used in 18 months or less, glass jars 5+ years. Thanks for this! I always wondered how long certain canned goods last. |

She raised such a fuss that they opened another checkout line and when the store manager gently took her arm to try and make her move, she started screaming like she was being attacked. She finally budged and left the store when her two kids started bitching about wanting to go home. So this could have all started as early as yesterday evening! |

RelentlessDespot Abrasive Fuck User ID: 19712778 United States 10/12/2013 05:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | (CNN) -- A computer failure halted the processing of food stamp purchases in parts of the country Saturday, a Xerox spokeswoman confirmed. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48036262 A system shutdown began at 11 a.m. ET Saturday, spokeswoman Karen Arena said. She said Xerox -- which is a contractor for the program -- was working on the problem and planned a further statement later Saturday. The food stamp program, officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, allows many beneficiaries to present a payment card at grocery stories. Those transactions were being prevented Saturday in unspecified parts of the country. And how would this affect Credit/Debit cards? I was just at a convenience store & the lady in front of me tried to use her Discover card, wouldn't go. Then the cashier got a message saying that the Credit/Debit system was down. It's getting real......real fast. I just used my credit card maybe an hour ago.. worked fine Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. Or something |

Quoting: Veresanctus And what if you lost it tomorrow? plenty of managers are getting rid of people just to save their own rears. lol... I'm not the guy getting dropped. I worked very hard to make sure of that. Perhaps others should do that too I work my butt off and have high work ethics, always on-time, and never call in sick etc. but because the manager made some mistakes on policies and got caught and so then blamed it on the employees he then fired them. You must realize that no matter how hard you work you can still get fired or laid off because ultimately the reason you have a job is not because you work hard but because they want to keep you around and can change their mind at any time. That is real life and it sounds like you have yet to learn this You are a moron to think I am not learned. I've been working for quite a long time. I've run across stupid bosses many many time. Truly a pain in the ass. What did I do? Act like a stupid bitch and spend every moment complaining? Yeah, could do that, and have at times when I was young. Or... I moved.. the.. fuck along. I took charge of me. Why waste your time with an ill-run pos company? Why waste time blaming some moron for my fucking inability to move.. the.. fuck along??? Yeah.. not fucking likely. I have testicles.. admittedly small but they appear to work. Lol! You idiot, no one was complaining and no one is. Act all high and mighty now, but YOU TOO rely on the government. Let's see you talk big when the dollar crashes and all that paper money that you so called claim to have "worked hard" for, is completely USELESS!!! |

whiteangel also known as WA User ID: 43857184 United States 10/12/2013 05:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been having this feeling lately that I have to store water. My family thinks I'm nuts because now I have been filling and storing milk jugs with water. Maybe I've just been on GLP for too long . Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30666766 This turning off of the EBT card to me is a test. What if they turn off the supply of water to your home next ? How long would you all last ? Good point about stocking up on water... Think about the Parks being off limits to us right now... some cities actually get their water supply from the streams and lakes in those parks... Many in Colorado, for sure. They have signs up as you are walking through the parks that tell you to stay out of the water as it is their drinking water... ya, something is brewing. The only thing we do not know is, what???? Remember to store water for sanitation also. If they turn off the water or it just quits working for whatever reason, stop flushing also. Drain your toilets and drains and either plug or tape shut so it doesn't back up into your house.

He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.[d] . . . 40 “At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships.

If I didn't need to sleep I can hold out quite a while. Sheer numbers is my worry. I have a good number of speed reloaders ready and extra guns, but only 2 hands. We will need an army if the shit that hits the fan is projectile diarrhea. Do NOT reuse milk jugs to store drinking water in!! Please, the bacteria from the milk is in the plastic and you will get sick. Use it for sanitation only. Only use soda and juice bottles. Make sure to add one drop of regular bleach to 2-liter bottles of water. If you only have the new concentrated bleach, as long as it only is bleach and no other scents or splash proof, add one drop. Water will store for 1-2 years. If the water tastes flat and it will if it is over 1 year old, pour it back and forth between two containers to add oxygen back in and it will taste good again.

There's a store right in my town that lets people buy anything with the food stamps - even cigs and alcohol. They just ring it up under "grocery" in the cash register and somehow get away with it. And I'm sure this store in my little town is not the only one. so why haven't you reported it yet? Isnt that the $64,000 question... Always wonder about people that post about seeing this happen in person.If its true why wouldnt they report it since they can call a toll free number and not give their name. Thats why I always assume its a big ass lie.Of course it does make for a nice rant online to keep a bitching thread going. Do u live in greenville by any chance lol? Anyway i also know of a store and have seen people buy cigs and beer quite a bit lol. Its not a lie buddy but thats what u get for assuming stuff i guess. The reason why you dont report it is because were not the police..we pay taxes for them to do their job not do it for them. Tattle telling isnt cool anyway ya loser |
