Then they start offering apartments nearby, owned by WalMart, so you can save on gas. Then they start paying you in WalBucks which can only be used at WalMart or to pay for your apartment.

Suddenly you can’t afford the things you need to live, but it’s ok! WalMart has it all and they’ll give you credit! It gets even easier though! They’ll just your purchases out of your pay! …which is never enough to cover the purchases.

Now you’re a slave to WalMart.
