Scams

Genius Marketing Selling Tennis Balls And Ripping Off Old People

Scam at the Walmart.  I saw this and thought there must have been some board meeting at a sporting goods company.  "Johnson!  How come you ordered 20,000 tennis balls!?  What the heck are we going to do with them?"

I've got it!  We can slice the balls on the side, and make it so old people can put them on their walkers!  You see it all the time!  They probably buy a 3 pack of tennis balls at the freakin' dollar store, but now we can cut slits in them, put them in a baggie and jack the price up 5 and half dollars!  They'll drain their HSAs and we'll be rich!

Brilliant!

Walmart says "Save money, live better!" in their slogan, but as time goes on, I don't think they're talking about you and me.
