A glitch in the EBT system at two Louisiana Walmart stores has allowed customers benefiting from food stamps to fill up their carts.

Said cards were not showing limits to spending, and hundreds of people gathered to do their grocery shopping.

A video captured inside a store during the incident shows how the clients stocked up on all the items they could carry.

The malfunction affected Walmart locations in Springhill and Mansfield. The shelves were left bare on Saturday night, as the footage shows.

However, some customers did not take advantage of the problem with the system, believing that it was not morally correct.

“That’s plain theft, that’s stealing that’s all I got to say about it,” Stan Garcia describes, according to a report by the Blaze.
