In all fairness, it isn't just WalMart customers that have issues counting to 10 or 15.  I like it.  It's snarky, but probably bad for business.

They can just say it's "for the children".

Although some idiot opined that, since there's three hands there, the count should be three, not fifteen.

They walk among us.

The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I was just at a nearby Walmart a few days ago.  If/when I go back, I'll certainly be on the look-out for it and might even snap a picture.

Even though it humors me to see this, it disgusts me all the more.  We might also notice that the "Walk"/"Don't Walk" signs at intersections haven't displayed exactly those words in several years, at least where I live they haven't...

No.  (Yeah, you of all people!) But I HAVE been called worse.

I was also informed the sign is a photoshop job.  Just so y'all know.

Is it? They did a pretty good job. But, of course, the mere plausibility of it is itself a sad commentary. The world of Idiocracy unfolds around us a little more each day.

eta - I just noticed one of the other signs clearly shows a Best Buy logo, so it's not even Wal-Mart. I wonder how many variations of the story are floating around.
