WalMart Introduces New Uniform in Bid to Control Costs

Disposable Uniforms Will Save Company $2 Billion Per Year


WalMart's New Uniform

Bentonville—American retail giant WalMart unveiled the first disposable employee uniforms today, hoping that the flimsy, recyclable garments will cut down on expenses to the tune of $2 billion. Nametags have also been replaced by tattooed barcodes on the backs of employee necks which an all seeing electronic eye will read, enabling managers to track the movements and thoughts of all cashiers, stockboys, and pharmacy technicians. The company is currently lobbying President Bush to require the bar codes be printed on the necks of all Wal-Mart shoppers, which would increase the speed of check out and discourage any negative thoughts about the chain. Sources reveal that the firm has plans to add employee dormitories to each of its stores, and is actively recruiting U.S. Army prison guards returning from Iraq to serve as dorm monitors.Target and Sears are both following suit, issuing employees higher quality, but more expensive, disposable uniforms in a range of fashionable colors.
