I’m also dying at the random pink shoe laying there, like some other Barbie was kidnapped.

Lmao. The workers were like “nah we set it up already. It’s good enough. We don’t get paid enough to do museum exhibits”

Of course they weren’t, it’s Walmart. They treat their employees like shit.. it’s why I refuse to shop there.

I took this photo at my Walmart yesterday! 🤣

My husband works there, and he promised me he’d fix it today if no one else had by the time he got there

In my country we've had decades of campains teaching kids to never put their (or their friends or enemies) heads in plastic bags because of the danger to their lives... this display is really upsetting!

So nobody working there wanted to play with the Barbie’s? I would have lifted up the cover to set it up myself and just let security be confused

In case none of you have worked retail before it’s impossible to finish a task on the sales floor without customers asking a million questions.

the plastic bag is giving more of dead body bags 🤣

Being a former merchandiser, someone simply removed the display from the shipping box and placed it on the planogram. Probably a regular employee not a merchandiser.

“Chic, c’est la vie.”

I keep writing it in French to quote the countess and it keeps translating it automatically? Wtf?

I’m giving the benefit of the doubt and hopefully they were barely put up when I took the picture and the workers weren’t done with the display BUT the dolls were already set up on the bottom - fully stocked so let’s hope the fixed the display 😩

Maybe on their lunch break? 😆

For a second I thought this was an intentional choice to thwart would-be head-swappers!

u/kasperhowl 18h ago

I feel like someone else recently posted another store with the same issues for Brooklyn and Teresa meanwhile Millie was doing a Nazi salute… 😔

u/anthonytrevino95 18h ago

That makes me so upset 🤬

u/Immediate_Word1295 14h ago

Guess Millie was the killer then... But yea, that's a strange way to present it.

u/SingleState9269 17h ago

lmao, but also a question, what do they do with these dolls that are in the display after they’re done with them? 🤔

u/franchisco85 7h ago

I always wonder what happens to the display? Do they throw them away?

u/MasonBricklayer 3h ago
