If someone has a FEMA issued debit card and wants to spend it on Pottery Barn or LV or Bart's Bottomless Donut shop, I guess there's really nothing we can do except to marvel at their lack of practicality.
If, however, they can go back and get *another* debit card after they essentially wasted the first one, then that's just wrong.
Regarding the group at the Red Lobster...These folks probably didn't turn trashy overnight - they were probably loutish, poor tippers BEFORE the tragedy. As for the waiter having the decency to not expect a tip (someone upthread mentioned this; can't remember who), I think that's ridiculous. The waiter is there to do his job and to get paid for it. Not perform works of charity. Maybe he already gave to the Red Cross; you never know.
Besides, the table of evacuees could have thought ahead and forgone an appetizer or a dessert or maybe the add-on crab cluster so they would have enough left for the tip.
