Walmart "Embarrassed" by Video of Employees Abusing iPad Inventory
The next YouTube video that's likely to go viral is that of Walmart employees tossing around iPads in the warehouse of a Kentucky store. Apple iPad devices are shown being thrown like several feet in the air like frisbees not always getting caught. In one instance, an employee purposely slams a boxed iPad to the concrete floor and says, "Oh wow, sorry about that iPad. I hope nobody buys that."
Throughout the 48-second video, the employees are heard laughing and making sarcastic comments. At the beginning of the video, the narrator sets the stage by saying, "Alright, this is why you don't buy an iPad from Walmart." We've embedded the video below, though be warned it's NSFW due to language.

A local CBS news affiliate in Kentucky got in touch with Walmart about the video, who said it was "embarrassed" by what it saw.
"We've seen the video of several nightshift associates destroying merchandise in the back of our store in August and, as anyone can imagine, it made us wince. We are also embarrassed," Walmart told WKYT.
Walmart said the associates shown in the video no longer work for the retailer, adding that it hasn't received any returns on merchandise since "this unfortunate incident."

It's not like there's moving parts in an iPad. Considering the size of the boxes, I'll bet none of them were damaged. If there even were iPad's in the boxes. Still - these guys are morons. And filming it was even more moronic. What did they think was going to be the "best" possible outcome of all this? |

They weren't doing anything more than an apple sanctioned pre-stress-test. Thats why all you apple fans who have shelled out a collective $6billion+ for screen repairs have devices with hopelessly fragile screens. Drop an iPhone - iPhone breaks Drop a Nokia - Floor Breaks |
I doubt those idiots even care that they lost their low-wage jobs. |
