click the graphic above to learn more about this documentary on Walmart, opening in November. the teaser trailers on the site promote the film sarcastically, making jokes out of the evil practices of Walmart, but this set of out-takes from a former Walmart manager are really rather unsettling.
while i must admit to spending late nights at Walmart in hicktown, PA (see picture below) while attending Bucknell University, i've always felt guilty about shopping at walmart, or most major chains for that matter. maybe it's because my family owns a small business. i agree that the prices can't be beat at stores like Walmart, but there is a reason for this. those low prices have to be made up for somewhere, and that fucking smiley face handed out by the disabled old lady at the door is a poor way to cover it all up.
