Unfortunately, it was the retailer's fault for allowing it to happen. I think it would be a hard sell criminally since the retailers are the ones that overrode the protocols designed to protect them, and based upon what I have seen from some of it, there is no way you could convince me that the retailers did not know exactly what was going on.
The thought that the largest retailer in the world with over $1 trillion in sales each year was trying to generate additional food stamp sales is just ludicrous, in my view. Who had more to gain - the retailer - or the "customer" who probably was pissed they'd missed the Katrina looting and wanted in on this?
