The Always Low Prices Crusade

[Benjamin Haines]

Do you hate Wal-Mart? I hate Wal-Mart. Fuck Wal-Mart.

Last week on the Monday night of March 31st, or early Tuesday morning hours of April 1st, some peeps and I decided to take a trip to Wal-Mart, and I decided to bring the camcorder. We went in two different cars, with five of the guys leaving first. Andrew Crandall, Heath, and Sierra (all from the previous video) rode with me. This video begins as we depart, with Crandall riding in my trunk with the camcorder on the way there and me driving like a madman to knock him around. Activities upon arrival involved the parking lot setting, shopping carts, browsing through the store, getting kicked out, and the cops being called. Great fun all around!

Starring:
Andrew Crandall - wearing the same red shirt he wore in the last video
Heath - rocking the Itapa Kegga shirt and Corona pants
Sierra - the girl with the hat
Chris - the big guy with the "You're a Loser" shirt, came in the other car
Greg - the little guy with the "Western Carolina" shirt, came in the other car
Andrew Sinclair - the guy who decided to buy a fishing rod and license, came in the other car
Some guy - not sure who he is but I've seen him around here before, he rides the motorized cart for a moment, came in the other car
Some other guy - not sure who he is either but he busted his leg earlier that night and I was talking to him about it (I forget names easily), he came in the other car too
Yours Truly - the driver of my car, and later on the cameraman


NOTE: There was a total of 40:33 of footage originally recorded on this night, but I chopped it down to a much more economical 14:43 runtime, keeping the pacing tight and excising all of the unfunny, dragging footage. The sequence with Crandall in the trunk as we drove to Wal-Mart originally went for about 12 minutes with him not cutting the camera off once. That sequence is about four minutes long in this final cut. This is the lean mean version, preserving just the funny bits and keeping the pace brisk. Enjoy.

Man, I would totally hang out with you guys. You seem to have some effortless fun together.

Why the hell did she throw you out in the first place, though? You weren't doing anything as far as I could see. The only reason I could see she phoning the police was when that guy was on top of the vending machine, but jeeez - talk about over-reacting.

On a side note; was that Nickleback playing in the car? I really hope it was used to torture the guy in the boot of the car.

She kicked us out just because she didn't want to deal with us all roaming around the store, like they were really busy at 3:30am, and because I had the camcorder. I'm not sure why they don't allow cameras. As Crandall suggested, maybe they just don't want Target to know what they have inside Wal-Mart.

Yeah, I told him there wouldn't be any music because I forgot to bring my iPod, but then I remembered halfway there that I could just blast the radio. I like Nickelback though.

You know, if I worked in a 24 hour store I wouldn't worry about a bunch of harmless kids armed with a camcorder. It'd be the junkies, drunks and thieves I would worry about.

A noodle for straddling, eh?

"It's not filming" my ass! Lie not to Wal Mart associates, Haines. They have powers. Scary powers.

FUCK WALMART!
