Thought everyone would get a laugh out of these Wal-Mart spoof commercials during the holiday husltle and bustle.

I got a good laugh out of them. Enjoy!

I don't like Wal-Mart much myself (it kills the ma and pa stores), but hose vids are way too open-ended. What I mean is, some of the things there could happen with any store (like the part where the woman claims she's paid less, or the promotion of lesser experienced staff). Plus healthcare is kind of iffy nowadays anyway. It's not that great of an catastrophe(sp?).

He almost seems to take a pseudo Michael Moore approach; where he's going to point out everything wrong within the chain and generalize it to make it seem as though all face them. My neighbor (female) has worked at Wal-Mart for 3 years and loves it.

Whatever. It'd still be interesting to watch.

They're all a small part of a documentary on Wal-mart that I saw a year or so ago:

The point about teaching employees to use government programs made me chuckle. The main reason for a fast turnover of employees is the fact that a job like that attracts lots of transient trash. Those people do not tend to stick around. I worked for K-mart for 11 months, and quit because I took a government job, and every time I go back into K-mart, I see about 6 people that I used to work with, and a new person in there every day. And most of these new people are white-trash losers.
