Wal-Mart
has been scraping and clawing for years to get a foothold in the NYC market—as recently as last fall, the company seemed on the verge of opening a big box store in Brooklyn, but their not-so-charmed offensive failed at the last minute. But maybe we were wrong to reject the fruits of slave labor. Not only are we missing out on those exclusive Justin Bieber My World Dog Tags—we're also missing out on the casual prostitution.
According to the Smoking Gun, 22-year-old Wal-Mart employee Foster Bills (not a pen name) is facing a prostitution charge for allegedly “soliciting sexual encounters” inside the Queensbury store where he works. State police received “an anonymous complaint of a male subject performing sexual acts in a secluded location;” that secluded location turned out to be a Wal-Mart bathroom, and police soon caught Bills in a sting operation.
Bills has been charged with a misdemeanor prostitution count. On the plus side, Bills' story has given the Smoking Gun commentariat the chance to unload all the cheesy Wal-Mart jokes you were probably just about to post: "That's the only service anyone ever got at a Walmart;" "You really can get anything at Wal-Mart;" "Falling prices and dudes falling to their knees;" and best of all, "Walmart execs are studying this right now to determine if they should be importing cheaper Chinese male prostitutes."
