Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Plot | Chelsea Campbell

A girls sits on the floor in the hallway of an apartment that she shares with several other girls. She is leaning up against a door to another roommate’s bedroom. She is eating a juicy green apple loudly, crunching hard, wiping her hands on the door, etc. Being all-around loud and obnoxious.

The Second roommate finally opens her door to chastise the apple-eater for being loud when she realizes it’s her apple that is being eaten. Apple eater grins. The second roommate makes some smart remark, stalks to the kitchen and licks an article of food of the apple-eaters.

The whole thing turns childish as they eat the other’s food, put it in the garbage disposal, throw each other’s food on the floor, and then finally end up in a food fight in the kitchen....and the living room...and the hallways, and eventually end up in a third roommates’ room who panics, calms them down, and informs them that they should have food fights with their own food next time. They have been trashing food that isn’t either of their’s. They laugh, and resolve that since it wasn’t their food, they don’t have to clean it up.
