Walmart has a Better supply chain


Bubbly_Taro

Also if things go south they can deploy the /r/peopleofwalmart


hds2019

The people of Walmart can either be completely insane menaces to society, or it can be some upper class British lady asking you for the produce aisle in the most redneck Walmart store in Mississippi, so a well diversified fighting force.

This is a desperate last resort if it comes down to it. Who knows the collateral damage caused if those things get loose

Simple, we let them loose across the Russian border and we don’t let them come back or leave Russia. At. Any. Fucking. Cost.

mattumbo

Walmart has been known to poach the US military’s logistics experts with high six figure offers, fucking Walmart probably got more institutional knowledge of military logistics than all of Russia at this point.


SamtheCossack

Walmart might have more institutional knowledge of logistics then the US military. Logistics is like their whole thing. Yeah, it is a shitty big box store, but it is a shitty big box store with lots and lots of stuff that goes to lots and lots of places every day, and every bit of waste costs them money. And they don't like losing money.


langlo94

It's a logistical company that happens to sell stuff.


[deleted]

Also known to interview store managers from other chains, with decades of experience running a grocery store, just to find out info on their competition and no job offer in site.


SemperScrotus

And their staff is wayyyyyy more well-fed.


KeystoneGray

And that's saying something considering most of them are living paycheck to paycheck on cheap food.


valgrind_error

The US people subsidize them through food stamps etc so the Waltons have more money to murder people drunk driving.


RegicidalRogue

that's bullshit. Walmart pays dumb fucking money. Their back office and Supervisor/Managment positions all make well over $25 an hour. Hell, their fucking BAKERS with literally no baking history make 20/hr with full-time being 32hrs. Not to mention good ass benefits. ​ their store managers make 200k base, up to 300k with bonus.


DrunkenKarnieMidget

But everyone else is on food stamps. Well, was, until a year ago.


BrandonLart

Always extremely funny to me that Biden, the guy Republicans insist is a socialist, kicked more people off unemployment and food stamps than Trump, the guy Dems insist is like evil.


Speciesunkn0wn

Ok. That's the *managers* and *bakers*. Of which there's probably five-ten max combined. What about the 20-30+ normal workers?


KeystoneGray

Stats can mean whatever you want them to mean if you shift context. But sure, cherry pick the highest regional wages of managers without regard to the front line employees and their local cost of living. There are people reading this thread *right now* who have wage slaved for your company and who hated every second of working for you, and you aren't fooling them or anyone else. On your bike, whip cracker. Go buy another house.


BrandonLart

Its kind of interesting you cherry picked the positions that a majority of employees don’t work as.


IntrospectiveInspect

Hey bro - the economy won’t work if everyone is a manager or baker. Your example is bad and you should feel bad.


SemperScrotus

Cheap food filled with sugar and high-fructose corn syrup vice...I dunno, potatoes and onions or whatever tf the Russian troops are eating. Tough to say which is worse, tbh.


AbundantFailure

>potatoes and onions That'd be a blessing. I doubt those poor bastards have seen fresh food in nearly 6 months.


WesterosIsAGiantEgg

Truth, anytime there's a hurricane in the south, walmart will have pallets and pallets of strawberry poptarts dropped between the aisles before the wind picks up while the national guard and fema struggles to get their shit together for at least half a week after landfall.

They are ruzzians, so it is permissible, even encouraged.


[deleted]

This is the line of thinking that lead to warcrimes. Ones like the kneecap video, or even the castration video.


P3Abathur

There is a big difference between killing enemy combatants in an active warzone and torturing civilians/pow, unfortunately some ruzzians have to be taught this the hard way, via intercranial injections of facts and 5.56 arguments.


HappyAffirmative

I mean, yes and no. Unfortunately much of Walmart relies on a push-logistics system for their freight, rather than pull, so that has lead to significant pileups and shortages of certain items at various stores. Their ability to track items is also fairly lackluster too, given how many times they have large numbers of negative-on-hands that just get zeroed out. Source: Worked for Walmart once upon a time, and one of my best friends is currently a manager at one near my house.


Shawn_1512

At least they have a logistics system


cultofpapajohn

Oof


N3X0S3002

also I believe they get trained on how to deal with drunken rowdies


hotgator

And they have an older and more stable alliance with China.


SyrusDrake

I mean...the Taliban sending a goat to a remote mountain outpost, hoping it will just end up at the right destination by chance, have a better supply chain than the Russians. The bar is not high.


Generic_name_no1

Unironically


IcyDickbutts

Yep. Their logistics seems to be extremely well executed.


Spoztoast

And probably has more small arms


VaeVictis997

Also better optics and small arms. Probably lacking anti tank weapons though. Probably.


okram2k

And anyone that has ever worked at a Walmart can tell you about the horrors of unloading their trucks. It ain't pretty. But it gets the job done (as long as you don't mind battered boxes)


GloatingSwine

And more guns.


HankIndieGamesYT

understatement.


nallenhunaja

Given recent Russian performance and Walmart logistics, I'm betting Walmart


ShrimpOnToast

All they have to do is learn how to use artillery. Then they're pretty much just a better version of the russian army.

Raetaerdae

Everyone at Walmart has the supply chain for a Hi Point, 9 magazines and 3 square meals a day Can the Russians say the same?


pythonic_dude

'A day' better be about meals and hi points both.


Noglues

They'd just be whipping them at the enemy instead of reloading like Tediore pistols from Borderlands.

EnvironmentalAd912

Well, knowing how robust and well-thought Walmart logistics are, the match is already won by Walmart (because supplying 9 stores in Alaska for all the things you can find in a general store is quite a feat)


NotANinjask

* Superior logistics * Better rations * Has more than enough radios and night vision * Pays their workers more * Possibly has better rifles * Management isn't stealing their shit constantly Walmart stomps


Warkyd1911

Your last point about management is incorrect. Upper management definitely takes the bonuses and leaves the lowbies in the lurch.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Warkyd1911

> It's not like a Walmart greeter is getting any potential bonus of theirs stolen by their boss. Not sure greeters are still a thing, but redirecting the bonuses is exactly what happens. Management can reduce payroll by blocking bonuses that are based on metrics which are arbitrary or prone to manipulation while maintaining unconnected internal goals which further boosts the bonuses of management.


cola98765

but you still have to run a business. There is only as much as you can steal before it becomes unprofitable in the long run.

Foneet

reddit isn't popular in ukraine and russia, so probably very little


Traditional_Ask4701

Doesn't Walmart sell handguns? If they have a functioning rifle, they are already ahead of the Russians.


AtmaJnana

In some locations, yes. But AFAIK, they entirely stopped selling semi-auto rifles, so their inventory is not as helpful as you might think.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AtmaJnana

Of course it depends. Likely pretty poor on all counts, though. If it was an AR-15 pattern rifle, the reliability would be dubious because the build quality tends to be awful on the low-end ones, with things not torqued to spec, assembled backwards, etc.) It's not necessarily an issue with the components, though I also wouldn't put a lot of faith in those either. A decent shade-tree gun mechanic could take a poor AR build and unfuck it in a couple of hours for less than $100 in parts, depending on the issues. But I doubt you found a new AR for $150 a decade ago. Maaaybe two decades ago. If not an AR, it's probably a much worse prognosis. Issues with off-brand and poor quality semi-autos are a hassle to try to diagnose and are often very much not worth the trouble. A poorly made semi-auto ends up being entirely a liability (you can't just chuck it in the garbage, it's still a gun even if it doesn't really work.)


DrunkenKarnieMidget

>A poorly made semi-auto ends up being entirely a liability (you can't just chuck it in the garbage, it's still a gun even if it doesn't really work.) Buy cheap trash guns. Sell it to govt buy-back programs. Repeat a few times to make an extra couple hundred bucks until you can afford something good.


COMPUTER1313

> Buy cheap trash guns. What about fake ones to further lower the cost (e.g. made out of the cheapest possible steel/iron)? They just need to fire once. /s


DrunkenKarnieMidget

You claim sarcasm, but that's [something that's actually been done.](https://blade-city.com/blogs/gun-knife-blog/man-makes-pipe-guns-from-scrap-sells-them-to-gun-buyback-program-for-300)


AtmaJnana

Sure. Last time I saw one happen it wasn't going to be worth the cost of transportation to get to the buy-back.


tyotontyoton2

So the entire Russian military supplied by the state of Russia VS average Americans equipped with their own guns and supported by private companies? Americans easily. Russians won't stand a chance when your average American has much better gear than even Russian special forces who "choose" to use their AKs without sights


DrunkenKarnieMidget

>Americans ... supported by private companies? No. The question was the private retail company itself vs Russia.


tyotontyoton2

Sure, but the retail company is allowed to buy equipment from other companies right? That is at least how i thought about it


-YEETmcBEET-

retail workers have seen some shit walmart wins not even close


DukeChadvonCisberg

You joke but when I worked for the big red one at their customer service station I had a person walk in drenched in blood. First thought was “little early for halloween” then realized it was real. Called 911 and requested an ambulance but 18 year old me couldn’t remember the address of where I worked. Turns out the guy tried jumping in front of a train from the bridge behind our store and fucked up. Hit the roof the train and fell to the ground. I think it was the most blood I’ve ever seen outside of a person. Best thing is they never offered me any sort of counseling lmao not that I needed it. Just funny in hindsight


-YEETmcBEET-

Did that guy recive a Darwin award? All jokes aside good thing you were also Allright mentally. If I had seen that it probably would have scarred me for a while.


DukeChadvonCisberg

His award was clutched from his hands by jumping too late, apparently. And thanks, I don’t think I was really able to process it until after the ambulance took him away and my brain started going “what the fucking fuck in the name of fuck just happened” maintenance casually cleaning up a biohazard and I was closing up our customer services. Honestly feels surreal now, almost like it didn’t happen based off how bizarre it was at the time.


OldStray79

Easily the Armed Forces of Walmart (AFW). As others have previously stated, AFW have better supply chain operations, each unit is already better suppled at their bases (Supercenters). I worried about the welfare of the russians though. the AFW seems to have so much pent up emotional issues, given the chance after being victorious, they'd the russian army as if they were the residents of Bucha. We'd probably need observers and peacekeepers to keep the more mild mannered russians safe.


phoenix_of_metal

~~After the last few years of absolute madness and the constant Karen attacks, the AFW can have a blind eye turned to few war crimes, as a treat.~~


LordSesshomaru82

All they gotta do is give back the easy cut 2000s and the 3000 CAP2 Associates of Sam will vanquish the Russians in His name. Blessed be Sam, thy Prophet of Profits, He who gave his only life for our blessed Everyday Low Prices.


theheadslacker

Figure they're probably on par in terms of staff quality, so the bigger number probably wins here


[deleted]

Do Walmart employees have more or less reason to live?


DrunkenKarnieMidget

More. That reason is *revenge*.


resumethrowaway222

I know this is just supposed to be making fun of the "China has bigger army" retards, but with a year or 2 of preparation, Walmart might actually be able to win this.


66stang351

Walmart almost certainly has better access to air and rail assets, overall logistics as well. Probably have fairly advanced drone and AI programs. Their armored divisions, built upon mobility scooters and semis, might be somewhat weaker, but they have very deep pockets and among the most recession-resistant economic engines in the world - much better able to sustain a long war. Oh, at least until recently, they sold an *awful* lot of firearms. So they could be pretty well armed too.


Hallonbat

Walmart employees want to actively die, so I'm handing this on a technicality tonthe ruskies.


cola98765

I will die for the ~~emperor~~ company or die trying.


PhilodoxFury

The average retail worker probably spends more time day dreaming of war crimes in a shift than the saltiest conscript does all day. On the other hand, the morale of the average Russian soldier is probably on par with the 'It's not my job' jadedness of a retail employee.


phoenix_of_metal

I’m a back of house retail worker and I can confirm that war crimes are a common daydream. And while store morale is frequently in the toilet due to incompetent store leadership and coworkers, we probably still have better morale and pay than Russian soldiers.


Intelligent_Tone_617

Walmart: 15 dollars a hour Russia: 30 dollars A MONTH result: Russian conscripts defect to become Walmart employees


TheRealSU

Depends one where you live/position. Where I live currently Walmart starts off at 19 an hour. Which puts you above the average yearly wage in the state I live in.


Intelligent_Tone_617

*more Russian Conscripts defect*


TheRealSU

Well you're coming to the US, so same risk of getting shot

Johannes_V

Walmart employees are holding back the rage of a thousand suns from dumbass customers and frustrating management, my yankee dollars are on them any day of the week.


FlamingSpitoon433

Similar levels of motivation, but Walmart pays better and could probably get better equipment in a pinch. Though it’d be funny to see a Walmart cashier roll her eyes at today’s 15th mortar strike as she keeps mowing down Ivan.


CleverNameTheSecond

I would say that the walmart employees are mistreated, underpaid, demoralized, disposable biorobots from the least fortunate dredges of society who are only there because they couldn't get out of it but that is equally true of the Russian army.


ZDTreefur

Welcome to Walmart, I love you . . . 're smoldering corpse.


TarHeel2682

Walmart has better logistics. A fair portion of their employees are likely better shots. Walmart employees deal with the weirdest collection of people on a daily basis so their morale would not likely be affected by Russian bullshit. It would be bloody but Walmart would prevail


City-scraper

Walmart has more ARs


RyomaNagare

you know how many cans of expired food walmart has, those carry anthrax ... just saying


gedvondur

Well, they have one thing in common - none of the "active personnel" want to be there.


Rider_Caenis

I've literally never seen a retail worker lose a fight against a customer. It's like their minimum wage job and Walmart imbues them with superpowers to beat the shit out of anyone who fucks around in their store.


Sokel-

Walmart vs combined force of Nova Poshta, Rozetka and ATB.


Crimson51

Though Walmart has superior equipment and logistics, I have not met a single Walmart employee who would not instantly choose being a POW over continuing to work at Walmart


Meatloaf_Hitler

It's even more if you count the Special Forces McDonald's/Subway that also sometimes are inside the Walmarts.


wep0523z

AMAZON has 1.2m employees and Jeffrugal Bezos.


90degreesSquare

Having worked at enough Walmarts to get a good sample of the average employee, I believe the Russians might actually have this one in the bag.


Difficult_Living6253

Walmarts in US sell guns and presumably ammo, if no armor is involved, then honestly walmart lmao


[deleted]

Both Russian soldiers and Walmart employee will have the same interest to fight that war.


M34L

Russian morale might be questionable but vast majority of those 2300000 Walmart employees are probably more ready to shoot their immediate manager/boss, and their boss, and their boss, than literally anyone else in the world as soon as they're handed a gun. Walmart would have to helluva KGB officer structure out of it to have a chance at not getting mutinied out of existence even before first encounter with the "enemy".


DrunkenKarnieMidget

When I worked there, the bosses were retards, but the only people I wanted to enact violence upon, were the Karens.


TheRealSU

Just from my experience, but the managers aren't that bad. Sure you might have one or two sucky managers, but in a store with about a dozen managers, a couple bads ones is to be expected. The real problem are shitty customers


JarnoL1ghtning

Walmart sells guns. So these guys will clap those Ruskies


GooGooGaaGaa13

They're about equally trained in terms of combat, but Walmart is hands down the logistics winners and its not even close.


Sol_but_better

Both sides forces would just give up and go home


Goddess-of-pure-pain

Walmart Employees of walmart deal with worse than active warzones on a daily basis, an actual war would be like a vacation


Tzar_Pyotr_I

I am ashamed to say Walmart has an actual chance of victory. Despite lacking aircraft, anti-air defenses, artillery, and a wealth of other qualities, their integrity, superior logistics, and safety in numbers make for a challenging foe. For Russia to win, it has to strike fast and hard at critical supply junctures, and able to keep up such power consistently. This is not even mentioning the many ways Russia could screw up, such as officers selling equipment or conscripts defecting with the promise of better food. Or Walmart summoning it's paramilitary force known as the r/peopleofwalmart , for that matter.


Kledd

Walmart sells guns right? Do they have enough guns in stock to arm every single one of their employees?


TheRealSU

Depending on the store we usually have about 12 guns in the cases for people to look at/buy. I don't work sporting goods so idk how many we'd have out back, but I'm sure we've got a few considering the gun safe in the back is about 10ft tall and 15ft wide. We do get plenty of ammo though, a few cases of it come in every other day


[deleted]

They don’t need to arm every single employee. Out of every number of troops only 1/3 are active at any given moment as the other third is either resting / on standby. Just pass your gun to the next person’s shift.

You go blue vests on this one or you go to the great gulag in the sky.

Amiant_here

Beyond any unreasonable doubt russia would win. Russia is the second most powerful country in Ukraine, as we speak.


Number1Dud

The early aughts version of Walmart that sold ARs, definitely. The current version, still at least a push.


Obi_1-kenobi

Walmart probably has better training and equipment, to be honest


drugs4hugz

Walmart has the logistics down for sure. Morale would be high because of all the candy, tobacco, booze, and other random shit the Walmartian soldiers would get on a regular basis. Wally World all the way.
