Apparently, Employees Were Selling Their Uniforms So People Could Skip Black Friday Lines
It all started out as a joke tweet from a Wal-Mart employee who offered to sell his Wal-Mart vest for $100. He received several offers, and the tweet went viral, which prompted the employee to admit he was just kidding.
The damage had already been done, however, and once employees at other retailers saw how much their uniforms could fetch on the social media black market, they wanted in. Employees at Best Buy, Target and, of course, Wal-Mart decided to get in on the action, offering to sell their uniforms to their Twitter followers.
