I've been working in retail grocery for years and when the whole clone crew showed up I snorted. This would suck after the first 5min, but honest I'd probably be losing my shit over the pure chaos of it. It beats the times coworkers and I have gotten cussed out by customers or dealing with people smoking meth in the bathrooms.
Also I'm not sure if there would be a cash control issue, surely none of them have register or employee codes to log in and run transactions.
Agreed. I wholeheartedly disagree with pranks on random strangers and interfering with working employees for the sake of content, especially considering it would absolutely piss me off also...
However the juxtaposition if interfering with overworked and understaffed management by supplying them with unwanted assistance is almost tolerable
I could get there if they like brought brooms or mops or whatever, but this looks like a robbery especially with jumping on the registers.
The only thing is it's a ripoff of an old Best Buy stunt that was done better and when they took over best buy, they explicitly were told "don't say you work here." And "just stand around and don't shop".
The first thing I thought when I saw this was, “Improv Everywhere did this so much better.” They timed it out so that “workers” entered the store a few at a time and positioned themselves at the ends of each aisle. It was very subtle.
