Walmart Employees Smash iPads Just for Fun

Are you saving your pennies wishing for a new iPad? Would you do anything to be able to get your hands on one? If so, this story is going to really frost your butt. The waste of this is unbelievable. There are people waiting in line for iPads, yet these Walmart employees in this YouTube video decide to smash iPads, apparently just for fun.

These guys make a big joke out of it. They toss iPads across the warehouse carelessly and let them fall on the floor purposely. Even though there are people who are saving every penny to be able to get an iPad of their own, even though there is a shortage of them when they are first released, leaving people to stand in line for hours to get one, these guys are just smashing the iPads on purpose.

It reminds me of a story I heard from my high school history teacher. He told us of working in a warehouse when he was putting himself through school. He was packing dishes in boxes. It was boring to him, so every once in awhile, he’d push down really hard in a box, knowing it would break the dishes. He’d just seal up the box, and send it on. Some unlucky person would inevitably open their box at home and find the dishes shattered.

Just like some unsuspecting person is going to open this new iPad and find it broken or not working well. It’s a joke to these guys. They got what as coming to them, though, as they have since been fired and prosecuted, because it wasn’t bad enough to do it, they had to actually videotape themselves doing it, according to sources.
