    9. That time Walmart shocked its critics by announcing it would promote 25,000 employees…

    …the same number as last year.

    8. That time Walmart bragged about paying 475,000 employees more than $25,000/year…

    …and didn't think we'd do the math: that's less than one-third of their employees.

    In fact, as many as 825,000 Walmart associates earn below the federal poverty line.

    7. That time this “reporter” showed up at a Walmart protest…

    …and she turned out to work for a PR firm hired by Walmart.

    "I’m a reporter for Walmar—er… a newspaper…. This is awkward."

    6. That time Walmart pretended it cared about the environment…

    …and gave millions to political candidates that deny climate change.

    5. That time a “proud associate” at Walmart started a Thunderclap campaign…

    …and by proud associate, we mean this Walmart executive.

    4. The time they named a guy named McMillon their new CEO…

    You mean McMillion, right? Together the old CEO and new CEO are literally THE DUKE OF MILLIONS. It's just too good.

    3. That time Walmart spent millions on commercials to convince you it’s a great place to work…

    …and then some of their actual employees launched this site…

    …so Walmart sued them.

    2. That time an “independent” YouTube video exposed Walmart protesters as paid professionals…

    Via youtube.com

    …and it turns out it was made by a former Walmart executive.

    1. That time Walmart associates held a holiday food drive…

    ...for each other.

    And as Stephen Colbert and Ashton Kutcher pointed out, it wasn’t even Walmart collecting the canned goods.
