im fuckin with you. i thought this was kinda funny

It's stuff like this that pisses me off. Having worked retail before, it's disgusting to see how fucking lazy a lot of people are, leaving various food-related refuse lying around. Hell, when I was a cart attendant, I'd even find dirty diapers left in carts in the parking lot. Gross.

I was in a walmart just a few hours ago, there was an RB2 kiosk that some savages had just raped. One of the drum sticks had its nub broken off - but, it looked like it had been whittled off, not snapped, because it still came to a roughly conical taper.

The red and green pads had been torn to shit - the rubber layer slashed and gouged until it was mostly gone. The yellow and blue? Untouched.

Did I still play a little? Yeah...

At least it was in the electronics section. Who does that? It must have taken 5-10 minutes to savage the pads like that.

This why I go to Target. At least they have people check.

best community setup ever...way to go brad!
I too can juggle a wii remote with chocolate ice cream and a smoke all at the same time.

Our local Wal-Mart does have the Wii kiosk in the electronics department... But it's shoved back and away in the aisle with random cellphone power cables and PC games, practically the opposite side of the department from the Wii (and other console) games, accessories, and systems. It's like...

Random misc electronics
-----------------------
Stereos, optical discs, etc.
-----------------------
PCs and PC accesories
-----------------------
Console/handheld games/systems/accesories
-----------------------
Movie Aisle
-----------------------
Music CDs (lol)
-----------------------
PC Games, cellphone chargers, Wii Kiosk
-----------------------
Random cables

And across from all that (to the right in this diagram), the photo department (including digital cameras and digital photo frames), the case with the iPods and other mp3 players/their accessories, and the cash register.

Up is clothes. Down is toys.

Anyway, perhaps more relevantly, I would shop at a Target instead of Walmart if we had one. There are hardly any Targets in the entire state. In fact, there's only one other place in town to buy videogames at. It's a sad life.

"Bunch of savages in this town"

What's great is, I guarantee somebody who works there was aware of the display's condition. Those stores have enough employees wandering around where a few of 'em probably walked by and didn't care. Of course, when the store is putting a console in the grocery section I don't know if anybody there cares...

That is nasty. They must have changed since I have been Wal-Mart it use to be close to the electronics department by the candles...

Still looks less nasty than the mac & cheese and fried chicken that Dale had on his plate.

I stopped bothering with game kiosks at non-electronic/videogame stores a long time ago. They're either trashed by customers(scratched up DS touchscreens, covered in foodstains/bile/spooge, controllers ripped apart) or neglected by the employees of that department (same demo disc since 07). Wal-mart is a piss stained hellhole no matter what side of the counter you're on.

Hm, slow news day, huh?

Like a used up whore...

My Wal-mart has NO gaming pods set up, just video's playing.

When a store's average employee makes $8.23 an hour, why would you expect them to care about something like this? Where is the incentive?

Having spent a few years working at a big box retailer, I can tell you, there is zero pride in the job.

It looks absolutely delish.
