Walmart App Runs Mom-and-Pop Apps Out of Business

Walmart app

App coded by 9-year-olds in a Chinese sweatshop.

It’s hard to know where to begin with this particular app.

1. Walmart is a lifestyle? Since when?

2. It seems unlikely there is much overlap between iPhone users and Walmart shoppers. How many people with mullets do you see using an iPhone?

3. The one time I’ve been in a Walmart, a customer told me she had left her baby in the car.

4. Will this app replicate the “I need to take a shower” feeling one gets after being in a real Walmart?

5. Can I get trampled to death while using this app, just like at a real Walmart?

It seems fair to assume that Walmart only created this app because the People of Walmart blog is looking to create their own iPhone app, and the horrifying retail giant wanted to beat its satirists to the punch. However, based on its search abilities, it seems the Walmart app has barely made it out of beta.

We don't carry that game.
