This is supposed to be a fun question and so far, several of you have responded with mundane replies, pretending to be sophisticated about the matter. Don’t fucking any of you ever just, live life a little?

Since I work at one, I know the first thing I’d do is break all the kerosene canisters in sporting goods, cause a fire and that alone will burn the entire half of the store since Auto with it’s oils, Lawn and Garden and Toys will happily fuel that fire too.

Then I’d go to hardware as the fire develops, taking sledgehammer and hatchet that they sell and go to work breaking everything.

Forget looting, I want to destroy capitalism’s toys.

    All too easy. Grab a scissor life and start knocking the sprinkler heads off. IYKYK.

      Only works until the initial sludge is cleared. I would bet it would be relatively clear water by head 3.

      Now, if you take that scissor lift and attach something that can rip the head off, attach the same thing to ALL heads, and then attach those to one forklift and drive out of the building… that would do it.

      Had a dude take power equipment into the meat freezer, sheared off a sprinkler head in the process.

      The freezer remained operational, so everything was coated in frozen sludge. Total loss of merchandise, and I think the power equipment was a loss too.

      I’m not sure how he kept his job, but that wasn’t my call.

    Turn off all the freezers and coolers, all of that merchandise now has to get pitched then find the small camping propane tanks and some pressure cookers and magnesium fire starter blocks. Smash up the mag blocks and put the pieces into a pressure cooker with a propane tank, repeat until you’re out of cookers. Then turn them on high, take cover and wait.

    Yeah… despite the local Wal-Mart having quite the selection for the garage chemical enthusiast, I’d rather not publicly outline terrible ideas that could lead to others being severely hurt or killed.

    Though I will throw out there that the access for the fire suppression/sprinkler system is usually fairly easy to access, and covers the entire store when it goes off, conveniently aerosolizing whatever liquids might be in the pipes…

    A hypothetical person could gather up about 10 boxes of microwave popcorn.

    That peraon could then gather up as many microwaves as possible from the shelves.

    He or she coukd evenly distribute the microwaves across the store. They coukd even place two or three around the HVAC intake ducts.

    That nefarious individual could remove all filters from the HVAC intake ducts.

    If lead to do so, the person could put 1 bag of microwave popcorn in each microwave.

    Feasibly, they coukd also start each microwave on high for 60 minutes.

    The anecdotal smell of burnt popcorn would permeate and last for months. If you think burnt popcorn wouldn’t be that bad, then I would wager that you’ve never been in an office building that was evacuated for the burning chemical smell of one bag of popcorn left too long.

    In the movie Mean Guns (1997), Ice T hosts the world’s first battle royal with a large cash reward for the sole survivor. I would do that.

    Covertly decrease all items by $1

    So the store be losing $1 for ever item sold

    10,000 items means $10,000 lost

    Also add malware that randomly make it so a random item isn’t counted to the price total.

    Also make malware show card payments as “sucessful” even though it never gets sent through the network, and also the paper records all prints wrong card info, so they can’t retroactively charge it again.

    I’d question how I’d got into that situation, and the character and motivation of the person telling me to cause destruction.

    The destruction of the store will mean nothing to wal mart. It’s insured.

    Burning it down will cause:

    • serious air pollution to the surrounding neighbors, who are innocent
    • risk to firefighters who respond
    • potential creation of a food desert if wal mart has already driven out competitors, resulting in at risk folks having a harder time accessing food

      Pull the fucking stick out. It’s an unserious anonymous internet gag question. Not everything needs to be constant moral high grounding on others.
