I don't know. The first one kind of looked like a win to me. I remember the days of boring, super long grocery shopping trips where I was dragged along against my will. That picture captures the feeling rather perfectly.
Last time I checked, Wal-Mart sold pretty much what other big retailers sell, so it's not like they're employing the laborers themselves. I'm sure if you went to Target, you'd find the same stuff made in the same place. Even then, I bought four $0.15 notebooks a couple days ago and they were all made in the USA.
I used to install satellite when I was struggling to find a job with my useless degree and TRUST me, you do not want to ever walk into a persons home like that. I have walked into homes where I had to do everything in my power to keep my gag reflex back and I am a pretty resilient guy when it comes to things like that.
I once walked up to a home and knocked on the door, I heard a guy yell "come in" I opened the door and I kid you not I thought something must be dead. I walked in cautiously and the fattest man I have ever seen in person was lying on a huge lay-z-boy. Long story short it was the most disgusting place I had ever been up until that point, and I had seen some stuff. I did what I always did when I walked into a situation like that "Oh I am sorry sir, I don't seem to have the correct equipment for your installation on my truck, they must have got the work order wrong. You will receive a call to reschedule you. Terribly sorry." and then book it out of there. I hate to say I left those jobs for another technician but I couldn't deal with it.
Having worked at Wal-Mart for a number of years (yeah, I know...), this isn't what you typically see. If anything, this is actually better. At least these parents are within vicinity of their children. I often encounter children terrorizing stuff in the store while the parents are four or five departments over. And this is at 2am in the morning on a school night.
As a former Walmart employee, I agree 100% with digitaldeadstar.
If you want to lose all faith in humanity, work at walmart for a year. The things you'll see....and <gag> smell...
I worked in Electronics.. We had to remove a wadded up ball of poop stuck about 6ft up on the video game cabinets.
Now, how did this get there? No child would've done it (it was too high up). That means some teenager or adult rolled up a ball of s**t, carried it through the store, and then stuck it to the glass in the video game isle. Imagine everything else that sick f**k touched.
We even had one lady empty her baby's diaper in our phone isle, roll her cart through it, and then blame it on a dog being in the store.
These pictures (while funny) are incredibly tame compared to what really happens at walmart on a daily basis. I still have nightmares about herds of stinky sweaty people in the fat carts.
You see..those carts for people who have trouble walking are RARELY used by elderly people who need them, or people with disabilities. 99% of the time they are used by people who weigh as much as a small car, load their basket up with slim fast and twinkies, and haven't showered in months. Can you imagine the stench coming off of the puddle of ass sweat left in the seats of those after they are done riding around the store for an hour?
I can't walk out of a Walmart anymore without feeling just a little bit dirtier. Just because it's Walmart doesn't mean you should't f**king shower before you go.

Darwin may have missed the parents, but he'll be damned if he doesn't trick them into getting the kids anyway.

Some of these are debatable and could just be out of context
The kid and the alcohol for instance, what exactly is wrong there?
