Charli D'Amelio's DYSTOPIAN Walmart Ad 

probably not

I mean for me, I can help my self to any snack

no

They taste kinda bad

It’s funny how this drama is all linked to fucking popcorn

Before I started working myself I’ve always tried to be considerate of service workers since I’ve witnessed customers take a lot out on people for just doing their jobs. I’ve had very few bad experiences with service workers. After working at a movie theater for a few months I definitely understand better the level of shit people put you through. Even on my first day when I was training, a customer told me I was doing a horrible job because I couldn’t operate a register (even though they were fully aware I was training and I wasn’t allowed to operate a register yet). The worst part is even doing what your suppose to can get you in trouble with customers. I’ve had customers come up to me complaining about theaters being cold, projectors playing the wrong movie and other problems that aren’t within my control as a general staff member. So I go to the manager and tell them about the problem, the manager goes and fixes the problem. However when I come back and tell the customer the manager is on the case and it should be fixed in a timely manner, they stand there and act like I’m ignoring them. And sometimes they get straight up ugly, yelling at me, cursing me and acting like I just shot their dog. There’s a reason we don’t wear name tags. Plus people haggle me for free stuff and discounts all the time and get mad when I can’t give them free food, candy or popcorn.

Nothing made me hate people more than fucking coupons. The people who get mad about their coupons not working were the worst. These fucking idiots had the math all worked out and if it was off by a fucking penny they would not leave it alone

We can say this about literally every ad that show actors playing as workers smiling and being so Enthusiastic about a job that in reality is shitty and underpaid

When I worked at Walmart as an online shopper, a new coworker came up to me in tears followed by a lady waving a coupon for a brand of turkey we did not sell. I told her we didn't have that turkey. She insisted "well you can give me a different brand free then, right?" Upon me telling her "sorry, I don't know, you'd have to talk to customer service at the front, I literally pull things off shelves and put them in crates, I have nothing to do with pricing or coupons", she proceeded to YELL at me, insinuate I couldn't read, tell me no wonder I couldn't find a real job (was working my way through a top 20 university at the time), and follow me down 2 more aisles until I pretended to call my supervisor to get her escorted out by security (which we didn't even have lol). Ppl are fucking crazy at Walmart.

literally was me working at walgreens this video hits hard

explains very well the optics of haughty europeans mocking US americans about all the problems we're fully aware of but nearly powerless to stop

It's a common saying and idea

@@NadiaSeesItthe thing about slowly boiling a frog by gradually raising them temperature so it doesn’t notice, yes. This phrase and this particular way of using it? Not so much

We can💀 make school lunch free? Why should a 11 year old be paying to eat at school.

There’s nothing wrong with being a Walmart worker in an ad

and what about people going like 'THE STARS ARE NOT REAL. THE GUTTER DOES NOT EXIST' ?

I love that quote❤

"What does 'light pollution' even mean? Is that the new PC way to talk about blind people? Kids these days... just look harder at the sky. Your eyesight is fine! You're not blind! You don't have 'light pollution!' Try harder. You can see the stars."

​​@@liiiiich3n0nTheM00nbasically light pollution is an excessive amount of artificial light (lightbulbs and the like) that "blocks" out the night sky with the sheer amount of light coming from the city, and even if you turn off all the lights in a city, it'll still have some amount of it, which is why when you go out to the beach, country, etc. the night sky seems to be brighter and more of it

that sponsorship caught me so off guard

The first time i watched a sponsorship video lmao

I love when she said turn off the camera while talking about ytbers stuffing ads in their 8 minute videos AND AN AD PLAYED (btw ytbers get to pick when the ads in the videos are at)

You best believe i put that in my notes of “things to buy.”

man it seems like every RU-vidr is getting sponsored by sex toy orgasm porn company

So true

I was crying laughing everytime I went to KFC when they had jack harlows face on all the cups 😭

the kardashians and Amazon is actually distopian

I don't personally see the issue? It's just sponsoring? They want to make money and the people they request charlie to join are gonna grab obvious attention. I don't know if I'm a lil deaf on the situation

@@Milk-ck1wv Of course, but I just find it so strange seeing a tiktok star doing something that I would consider more mainstream. I have no issue with it, it's just new to me

Damn

What the hellllllllll

thats actually horrid. im sorry but if there were any people in the crowd who saw MLK as an insparation or a hero, i dont think theyd want two overpaid, puppeted teenage dancers singing "girl on fire" at a middle school

i actually feel so bad for them now like its obvious their parents shaped them into being who they are and I dont think its going to get any better now that theyre famous either

Parents fault. Not the kids

TRUE 😭- thanks for 28 likes :)

Gangar lives for the chaos

and then gengar looks like it's plotting someone's downfall 💀

@@alicenthightower9161probably the working class’s

Bros just like "Yeah girl (gender neutral) go off"

Also in the training they literally had an anti-union section! 🙃

I'm so sorry. My mom worked at Walmart for 7 years, and she was constantly working three sections. She was constantly drained, stomach pain from stress, and frustrated that they were slowly weaseling her down to only 28 hours a week yet expected 40 hours of work. I'm so frustrated as well since they are the only large grocery store in our area, so we have to shop there even now. I hate that underpaying and overworking is so normalized in the service industry.

I’m a cart pusher at Walmart rn. Ong more draining than my fast food jobs (walking 10+ miles a day)

I’m scared of the workers at Walmart lol. They’re mean

@@aj-pb2qv Goodluck! I would always see you guys flying around when I was working and wondered how you kept going. Hope someday you can get promoted to customer on good terms!

LITERALLY I JUST GOT HIT WITH IT

NOOOO I got like five in a row😭

same lol

If that was on the contract they would never agree to do it💀💀💀 they are too good after all, we should b grateful they even graced such a place as walmart with their presence🤩🤩😩😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

​@@gosiakawecka6178I don't think the forced young famous teenagers might be that obnoxious

They should be added to that post someone made about a reality TV show where the Kardashians have to work a full-on retail job for two months, and every day are sent another quote from one of them about how 'no one wants to work anymore' and 'why can't people just work harder?' ect.

It would feel good for us to get to watch it tho lol

Are you that annoyed when someone has a retail job in a movie?

genuinely their parents should be in jail. it absolutely will not happen, especially now since their children are legal adults, but i can dream. i just can’t imagine using my child as my “golden goose” and then further monetizing their mental breakdown due to being used as a golden goose on a hulu reality show. it makes me sick to my stomach.

​@@steph15036We have seen it happen far too many times. A good example is Macauley Culkin. At 8, he was expected to pay his family's bills which is why he emancipated himself.

It’s giving mild Britney

yeah i saw that video but the comments were still being cruel to them despite him showing scenes where I think chair was literally opening up about how bad her mental health was :c

That's so sad dude. It's easy to be mad at her and her family but yknow I hope she's actually doing ok

SAME

OMG ME TOO💀💀💀💀

LMAO

Well I’m not in my car but I’m in the break room waiting to clock in 😂

dawg that is EXACTLY what im doing rn. in my car counting down the seconds until i gotta go back into the freezers also i just hit the sponsor part of the video and my shock skyrocketed. my mouth was literally agape

​@@wherestheparty-crawlyI got out of those freezers less than an hour ago, all of this is wild

@@Noahdaz i got home around 5:30pm and i saw my bf in bed so i crawled in to snuggle, then suddenly i woke up at 7:00am! i slept from shift to shift! i slept for 14 hours!!!!! i fucking teleported back to work 😫

i love how creators can choose where to put ads so they can do horrifically comedic things like this

Samee😭

I didn't.... Oh well, maybe I'm just a privileged, pretentious European

Based comment

They’re not teenagers anymore

@@ruendheartthey might or might not be but at least they’re not harassing customers or dumping products on the floor. Sure, the tiktok that they made was a little strange but I’ll save my rage for the people who told them to do that in the first place… AKA Walmart ! 😅😭

they wont go hungry. materially they are just fine and so should the rest of the world. but because those parasites life is such disgusting unsustainable filth - other children go hungry

@@BaldCoryxKenshinfanikr all the ppl mad at the girls have misplaced anger; it’s easier to take it out on them because it’s an easy target, they won’t dare say anything to their overlords(until they quit that job); now I don’t like them either but they aren’t the one’s keeping you poor lol; focus on the real targets.

She really does seem like a puppet for them.

yeah she's just totally oblivious to everything and likely because she didn't have a non-influencer childhood thanks to her family

​@@singingofsilverJust like Lil Tay and many, many others. The list just goes on. I think they may still have guardianship over the sisters. I don't think they deserve death threats and bullying, but it's ridiculous what they're doing. They're hurting people. If they're truly being controlled, you'd think they'd go to the police.. but who knows. It could be worse, or they may be doing all of it themselves by their own free will (which would be dumb. Hopefully they're just dumb and not being controlled. If they're being controlled, then that's a whole other story.

People are usually fine until the money and views come in by the millions. It’s a shame that it was Charlie’s parents who were affected, because Charlie is so young that she won’t get to have normal teenage years anymore living with them.

No. Charlie is spoiled too.

wth thats horrible

Holy shit that’s horrible. Do you know if they are legally liable for her death because it kind of sounds like they should be. If she wouldn’t have died without them forcing her to continue working, they should be held responsible for that death and I really hope her family is able to take action against them.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you're okay. At my Walmart we had somebody taken out in an ambulance (they're fine now thankfully) and our manager went around asking all of us when that person started having the medical episode so he could clock them out. Holy shit dude, just give her the (at most) extra hour and pretend to be a human being for once.

Ours has rats and the produce manager was just like “put the fruit back on display” they literally don’t care 😅

@@hollydawn07I remember my store had rats and when I went to tell management they told me not to say it too loud and disrupt customers🫠🫠🫠

@@hollydawn07 They really don’t. I waited a year for results. Nothing. Filed an ethics thing, it judged that I clearly want an open door complaint instead and changed it. Still did it, nothing. Emailed ethics after calling them did nothing. They told me to call a nearby marketing person. After two weeks, they finally called me back, missed them. Took another two weeks to reach them again. They then missed multiple callbacks they said they’d do. I have no idea how the company functions.

Yeah I’ve found moldy and rotting food on display at my local Walmart. It’s extremely frustrating given that most people choose to shop at Walmart because it’s what they can afford. The fact they have to settle with limited/bad produce is a awful…

@@cdevine9459 This may be wild to hear, but it started being so common for me to find moldy BEEF JERKY in our boxes of new product to stock. Like, how?! You had one job!

Right there with you it’s painful 🫡

I thank god every day I could quit walmart last year and no longer have to hear walmart radio... made me actually insane some days

Im praying you have a relatively stress free work week ❤️ you guys deserve more

Me currently :/

feel your pain :’)

Which video was it that you watched? And I totally agree with you, it sucks that charli constantly praises them & acts like they’re the best parents in the world like either she’s pretending or she’s genuinely brainwashed

@@arianaskocz9280 it’s a video by greenisnotnick, it was posted about three weeks ago

ive seen dixie be totally dismissed by her parents while over praise charli. its a dog eat dog world in that house

I don’t know much about the D’amelio family, but it’s important to remember that Charli is an adult and is capable of making her own decisions. Her parents are definitely responsible for her exploitation, but they’re (probably, again I don’t actually know much about the family, I could be totally wrong ) not the ones signing contracts on her behalf. She should be held responsible for what she signs on to such as in this case

Just because she’s legally an adult? I don’t think so lol

Yikes, that makes me wanna dig myself a 6ft hole and bury myself before I turn 18. Sorry for your husband hope he’s doing alright 😅

Oh my god.. Did he ever confront them... or press charges?

Walmart is the reason why my best friend had a miscarriage. She was at high risk with her pregnancy already and they threatened to fire her if she didn't help them complete unloading truck.

​@@RightinfrontofmydietdoctorkelpI'm confused now

@@yorp.i think theyre trying to mock them, for whatever stupid reason

Yeah. There's a point where you're so rich, you can just not live through the struggles normal people are facing. That's just natural for famous people, but instead of cosplaying being working class, celebrities can relate to their audiences by HELPING the common people where they can.

Want to know what’s worse? I watched a video where a RU-vidr explained French royalty built an entire village, made their staff dress up as peasants and lived a quaint country life via cosplay. Animals and everything. Sadly, nothing new. When you amass so much wealth you have everything, I guess it’s cool to pretend you have nothing. I’ve worked retail jobs (clothing, supermarket, McDonald’s). I’ve had two jobs just to make ends meet. Never am I rude to people who work these jobs, and I sure as hell face whichever items I’ve taken, and I always put things back where they belong. Overworked, underpaid, under appreciated. That’s what working in retail is, as I’m sure you probably know.

​@moxxiesnothereyeah because the Lana del Rey girlies will come after your head with pitchforks and your address printed out if you talk shit about their idol 😂. I mean 90% of them idolize grooming soo

@@chromachanWhile the Marie Antoinette’s village is true, it wasn’t a new or even novel thing to have, before or after her. The reason why we talk about it is that; the revolution happened, also because of the writings of French philosophers at the time nobles of the time spent time in those villages, rather than just having it.

@moxxiesnothere i read up on it. she wasn't sponsored or anything like that so it wasn't really beneficial to her and she did actually work there at least for a shift I think. no one wouldn't have known about it until the manager posted about it on her facebook (which was where all the photos came from I think) which kind of irked me considered someone who lived there said they basically pressured lana into doing it.

Yep

The….wot

​@@The_lamb_sauceIt was a French guy around the time of the French revolution, he had some skin condition which confined him to his bathtub. Can't remember his name for the life of me, but he was a fan of all the head pikings if I remember correctly

@@iamacatperson7226 name is Jean-Paul Marat

YES! I studied 2 paintings of him in art hoatory. He was actually murdered

What's a customer cooler? You mean the sales floor? I honestly don't even care about shoplifting from walmart - feel free - but that kinda sounds like you just opened something from the sales floor and drank it cause you were hot when there's a water fountain by the restrooms in like every walmart I've ever been in. Can't get mad about being fired for "light shoplifting when hot."

I know this is late but I'm so sorry you got fired. Wishing you the best of luck in your other jobs

@@isitatiger its just one water bottle

@@isitatigerWhen I worked at Walmart the customer cooler was just free water that was given to customers at grocery pickup. So it was free water

ah thank you! i saw an article about how she decided to help the staff or something but something irked me about the way the manager posted photos and her captions. i just thought i must be vibing it wrong T^T

i love lana ❤️

OMG ME TOO

​@@Lycanmoon31The dam snack bar.

love watching the world burn while i sit behind my computer and laugh at videos

i definitely agree with this but can we please not assume what she went through. we don’t know her personally, so we have no right to assume

@qajaqie that's fair, I definitely don't know her personally or what she's had to do. Granted, the early videos of her starting out on tiktok don't make it seem as though her parents were struggling before her fame. Either way, the whole marketing strategy of dressing up as underpaid employees for a day was in bad taste no matter who came up with the idea.

when it gets to that point then maybe change jobs? I know there is rent to pay etc etc but you only have ONE mental health

@jojo-xh5ik he did, thankfully. His new job isn't perfect by any means, but likes it better than Walmart.

​@jojo-xh5ik tbh quitting your job is just a bandaid solution on a bullet wound. no matter where you go they'll treat you just the same as walmart, and people still need to work at Walmart. you can quit that job or whatever but someone's gonna need to fill in your place and they're just gonna get mistreated too, it's a bad cycle that's issue is rooted in walmart abusing it's employees

Right?! Like, jeeeezus, this has been the worst year of my 36 years on this earth thus far, and circumstances continue to just SHIT all over me with no end in sight. And yet… there’s NOTHING on this earth that can stop my face from breaking into a shit-eating grin every time I see that my dear FunkyFrog has uploaded a new video.

I mean everyone has been talking about it

@@vortexraalol I guess so haven't seen it it likely just surprised me

And her parents are monsters aggressively exploiting their daughters for personal fame and fortune. Charlie is starting to remind me of Britney Spears during her conservatorship being told "get on stage and dance!" I'm not a fan and don't understand why she's famous but I know exploitation when I see it.

@@j68715or jojo siwa while I barely know anything about her I do know she was also exploited as a kid.

yeah well most adults do have these sort of toys, it’s completely normal and not weird at ALL. it’s only for pleasure, there’s nothing wrong with that.

I think you don't have to wonder about most of these things. I'm sorry for the hand you were dealt and hope things are better. However it's impossible for anyone to figure out if they did struggle. Especially the aspect that Charlie was given the caretaker role most likely screwed with her life. Sure it's a different struggle, but nonetheless a struggle. The people I don't have empathy for though are her parents, since they were the adults and theoretically capable of making sound decisions regarding Charlie's "job" from the start. I'm also angry at the supervisors and the whole organisational structure that didn't protect you when you needed it. There are far too many situations people are in today that are physically and mentally harmful, even though it does not need to be like this. ❤

those girls always grew up well off & stable & now they’re even more praised & overpaid. doubt they’ve went through any struggles as severe as those struggling to even get by with 2 jobs.

Jesus christ that's horrible. I am very sorry that happened to you. I hope your partner is better and you find a good paying job. Walmart really needs to be shut down at this point, or even have a lawsuit filed against them for this kind of old timey factory behavior against workers rights! This is not okay!

oh no dw, sometimes Dixie doesn't want to be happy so she's cleeeearly struggling I'm so sorry that all happened to you though. I hope life is going better for you. ❤

I am so sorry you went through all of this. I hope things are better for you now.

I can guarantee you that FFB makes far closer to your income than they do to Charli’s. Not to mention they actually do work hard

Recently realized? Girl, isn't it common knowledge now how marketing works?

I would argue that influencers pay with their privacy and accessibility, also saying that you can just get a payment by reading a sentence is a bit much isn’t it? While of course the physical efforts are not the same to become known enough to get sponsorships you have to put effort to what you do and be successful at it.

idk why people are trying to refute your point or argue with you when we JUST watched a video about how unethical the entire influencer-giant company relationship is. you didn’t say anything negative or untrue about FFB, and i think FFB would 100% agree with your comment. it IS fucked up that companies will not pay their workers their true value, but their marketing budget is seemingly endless. i don’t read this comment as a criticism of FFB, more of a realization: none of of can escape the capitalism grind, all we can do is try our best to support the absolute worst companies as little as possible, and try to help other humans as much as possible❤️

@@steph15036 thank you much, when I saw people responded to my comment I thought I came across as rude. I was literally one of the first people that watched this video as soon as it was posed, I am big fan I ringed the bell I was thinking about joining frogs Patreon, I am really not a hater from any angle. This moment was just... ironic, almost funny yet I am not laughing. It's about the whole system not about content creators

you can still use a vibrator, it’s not as if it’s some unholy thing. you’re 14 but acting so immature? who educated you?

Um and she's 24 😊
