I'm at a loss for words, but that's probably a good thing.
Thanx Ron

Whenever I go to ChinaMart, I always park in the back by the shop entrance and only go there for oil etc. Back door man....and usually don't see that crap from back there lol.
no doubt its a freak show there fo-sho!. sometimes i just go there for the sheer entertainment factor. odd thing is i always see someone there that i know....OMG...IM A WAL-MARTIAN !

I DO NOT shop at wal mart stores...I was a union meat cutter for 13 years...Their business tactics are wrong...Most of the crap they sell is from china....
30% of this countries wealth is owned by the six remaning kids of sam walton...They have an under ground bomb shelter they built that is the size of a small city...So when the world does come to an end they will survive...Shop local and shop union!!!!!

Deceased, But not forgotton
I find it a bit difficult to believe all this is anything but entertainment, I admit ive only been in Wall mart maybe 3 times, i don't like shopping, Ive seen some things such as people that really should wear a belt but never stuff like this! Im not a lawyer but id think i just cant go in a store and video everyone and make fun of them on the world internet.

At least we can laugh on the outside, but on the inside it pisses me off to no end.
Since ole Bill Walton did a fine job in the Midwest in destroying the most small town business while he was alive.
His fine family has carried on where he left off at. The only thing they have done different is, they ensure most of their employees are working poor. Most are collecting money from the government assistance for day care, food stamps, and low income housing.
The cashiers are only allowed 32 hours, which does not make them eligible for any benefits such as health care, dental, or 401K and matching. They might have 24 cash registers, but you will be lucky to see a third of them open. At least when he was alive, he ensure the all his employees were given stock and benefits.
I could go on and on how Wal-Mart has destroyed the United States by forcing business to sell their items at their terms to the point they had no other choice but to move their businesses overseas to meet their profitability, or they simple went out of business.
So when you see how we are so indebted to China, you can thank Bill Walton, and now his Billionaire off spring for fueling their economy, and in the assisting in un-employing the blue collar worker here in the United States that use to manufacture the televisions, microwave, rubber maid products, furniture, auto parts...etc.
They will argue that they do employ a lot of people, but it nothing in comparison to the number they have unemployed.
The main office in Bentonville, AR has direct fiber optic lines that go from there to China and to D.C. to their lobbyist. I know this be a fact.
Until we can get some elected officials to invoke tarriff on imported items, so it will be more fessible for business to be more profitable to reopen back up, and to stop the practices that Wal mart has successfully gotten away with simply because they have elected officials in their hip pocket. The US will slowly become a two class society, the working poor and the business owners such as the Waltons.
Ok, My rant is over...

Please tell me that the vid was taken at Halloween...or are these year-round sightings? I guess if one is bored, a visit to Wally World would provide ample(!) entertainment.
I'm sure the featured entertainers imagine themselves as mentally stable. Maybe they are. In our eyes,however...

Rubbermade has a plant in Goodyear AZ and Sterilite has one in Lake Havasu. Can't say for sure whether or not they also import from China, they probably do.
Don't know much about Bill Walton, but the old man, Sam, started out as one of those revered small business owners. Then his company grew. Sounds like one hellof an entrepeneur to me, the kind MOST small business owners strive to be. Where I used to live there wasn't a W*M within convenient driving distance and the local heroic "mom and pop" shops that we all seem to miss so much took full advantage of it by charging ridiculously high prices for everything from hardware to televisions. Balk at paying $3.00 for a bolt and ya know what they'd say? Of course you do..."You don't like it? Drive to WalMart". Or Sears, or Home Depot, or whatever.
I'm no apologist or PR flak for WalMart, they pay people for that. And yes, its fun to see some of the people that go there (sheeit, ever been to a K-Mart?), but they're no worse or better than any other big box store, and at least they're still American-owned.
I, once again, live in an area without a convenient WalMart, and that's okay too. Because no matter what anybody says, they sell the EXACT same stuff as everybody else, and all of it is available someplace else.
