i was thinking the same damn thing...
Perhaps people aren't really grasping wtf this means.
2900% interest ....jesus fukin christ
I'm glad these things are illegal in AZ now.
This is legal loansharking. The interest rate is usury, when they don't pay they'll just deduct the check, forcing employee to get another loan, next thing you know you have to work 40 hours to pay off just the interest, which when you think about it is pretend money based on a pretend/made up rate.
So yeah it's basically free labor.
We're slowly slipping back into indentured servitude

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt

zeee'fukk? do they have this dude on camera verbally or physically threatening the store associate?
I'd point out that they voluntarily agree to the terms of their employment, but I know you guys believe wholeheartedly that this is done at gun point so ill just fall back.The fukkwith that....you and I both know most Walmart workers are working for bus pass and snickers money.

i don't think so but there's always two sides to every story.
But according to Joe, there's a chance he just may be the most loyal Walmart shopper you've ever met.
Joe told us he visits the mega-retailer at least twice a day -- once in the morning with his grandmother, and then again in the evening.
"I just love Walmart and that's why I go," he laughs.
Because to Joe, every little dollar counts.
"Sorry I get a little emotional about this because I'm disabled," he said.
After eight years in the ring as a professional wrestler and lots of injuries, "I can't do what I used to do for a living anymore," he said.
So four months ago, he started ad matching. But last week when a Walmart employee told him it wasn't allowed, Joe complained to management.
"When I left, he turned around and called the Pinal County Sheriff's Office and said he felt intimidated and threatened. I was upset but never once did I say anything to the gentleman," Joe said of the incident.
He said when he went back to Walmart four days later, three deputies handcuffed him, gave him a court summons and a notice banning him from any Walmart in the world for life.
"I felt shamed. I felt like I was the bad guy. And I know I'm not a bad guy," he said.

I'd point out the socioeconomic status of the average Walmart worker, but you're already full steam ahead with the trolling.
If this is meant to suggest their employment is not voluntary. Then
But i'll fall back, you're right. Back to my troll cave I go
