Modern Day Robin Hood?

Mr. Wooden Alligator · 01-10-2010, 07:57 PM

But in a legal way. Wal-Mart is pretty much killing the American dream for the little guys out there. What if a modern day Robin Hood emerged? Someone who would destabilize Wal-Mart's powerbase without stealing?

In the front of the store:

Our "Robin Hood" could hide in the Men's room. An ally could get some sodas like Mountain Dew and those lemon lime Gatorades and run them into the restroom. "Robin Hood" could pee in them, close them, and the ally could run the drinks back to the shelves and coolers in the Home and Garden department.

In the back of the store:

Another ally could hide in the restroom near the Crafts/Fabrics and do the same. The runner would then bring these to the coolers at the front of the store.

The contamination is traced to Wal-Mart and they lose customers. Could someone get in trouble for this?

This may or may not have been debated at the round-table session during the junta.

Wtf?

SuperFerret · 01-10-2010, 08:10 PM

One, this wouldn't work, don't try it. Two, it's stupid, don't try it. Three, thank you for replacing the imagery of a kickass archer with a douche peeing in bottles. Four, this would never work and is incredibly stupid, don't try it.

lol, wtf?

Aesop Rocks · 01-10-2010, 08:18 PM

Because he's the hero the little guy deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A Mom and Pa Store Shopper. A Robin Hood.

Timstuff · 01-10-2010, 08:21 PM

So we burn down Wal-Mart. Then next week, we burn down Target. Then, burn down the corner drug store down the street because now they're getting too big, too. See the problem here?

If you don't like Wal-Mart no-one is holding a gun to your head making you shop there. Wal-Mart is a symptom, not the disease itself. Take down Wal-Mart, and people will just go to another big box store instead. The problem is not that big corporations don't care about the little man, the problem is that people don't care about the little man. Either people's attitudes are going to have to change, or maybe the little man should enroll at a community college.

Aesop Rocks · 01-10-2010, 08:23 PM

Shoppers go to Wal Mart more than the smaller guys because A) Family Friendly business is gone, this isn't a 50's milk shake parlor anymore. B) They're all for the most part closer to their homes C) They can buy anything and everything in one stop. D) the prices.

Timstuff · 01-10-2010, 08:27 PM

So there you have it: the mom and pop general store isn't coming back. Too bad.

SuperFerret · 01-10-2010, 08:28 PM

Hooray for big business killing all semblance of choice!

Mr. Wooden Alligator · 01-10-2010, 08:31 PM

The Mountain Pee is only the opening shot. The one heard 'round the world. Next would be dried poo in the Beef Jerky, meat under the shelves, anything to bring back liberty.

--The Junta

Timstuff · 01-10-2010, 08:35 PM

In place of a dark lord, you will have set up a queen!

Seriously though, small mom and pop shops aren't coming back, except for specialty shops who sell things that Wal-Mart does not carry. Best case scenario, sabotaging Wal-Mart would bring more business to Target. Then what happens? You sabotage Target, and people go back to Wal-Mart.

BTW, I'm with Superferrit on this one. Comparing a bad ass dude who went around toppling tyrants with bows and swords to a guy who smears his own poo poo on beef jerky at a Wal-Mart is downright insulting.

Mr. Wooden Alligator · 01-10-2010, 08:36 PM

That's why we run the plan on both simultaneously. Maybe leave pics from 4chan all over the store too?

--The Junta

Timstuff · 01-10-2010, 08:38 PM

If you want to be a modern day Robin Hood, try shooting a Wal-Mart store manager with a bow and see how far that gets you.

Mr. Wooden Alligator · 01-10-2010, 08:40 PM

No. Murder's not cool at all. I'm talking about saving the little ones without hurting anyone.

SuperFerret · 01-10-2010, 08:43 PM

Also, since you'd have to break the seal to pee in the stuff, the blame wouldn't fall on Wal-Mart (assuming that someone doesn't check it and buys it before a sale associate removes it from the shelves).

Okay. I don't know if this is comedy or what, but it's neither funny or smart. If this is some dumb prank that you and your friends are planning. You will be charged by Walmart, maybe even the owners of the product that you're vandalizing. Don't be stupid. Think of the people you could hurt in doing something like this. Think of the consequences, Mr. Hero.

Lol what has this world come to.

That'll work for about 5 minutes, right before you get caught taking soda into the mens room. Pretty much every Wal-Mart I've been to has kept its restrooms tucked away into the corner of the store, just past the customer service desk. So good luck sneaking all that food/drink into and out of the mens room without raising suspicion.

And let's say you succeed. You manage to get, what, a couple of litres of Mountain Dew with your piss in them? Congratulations, you've just made PepsiCo look bad without actually affecting Wal-Mart.

Oh, and you just peed into someone's soda. Someone's probably going to drink that. Way to protect the little, buddy. Because if there's one thing Robin Hood did, it was shoot the poor disenfranchised townfolk of Nottingham with arrows, and then blame it on the sheriff. Oh wait...

Yeah I could see a worker now saying ''what are you doing.....security!''.

When Robin Hood gave the people a golden shower it was with gold coins.

The thing is, Robin Hood would get away with that because he's got a charming English accent.

I don't think that works on other English people, though.
