That was great.  I wish they'd said which Wal-Mart it was.  I'd love to call that lady and ask her how she felt once she found out it was a prank.

At our Wal-Mart the keyboards are wireless  :-\. Supposedly they're making a new Wal-Mart here, supposed to be the largest in the world. :)

Wasn't there a prank similar to this one, where some guy got a Motel 6 employee to cut his keyboard wires for the same reason?

i heard one where a guy called walmart and got them to open the box of some video games and read him the serial keys. He told them the games were pirated and to throw them out.

That would be a great idea for software stores, but stores like Best Buy won't work, because they're to smart.

s1acker got a geeksquad rep to believe that he had a virus on his Gibson 6000, then i got one to tell me that i could have gotten a computer virus from a wall socket. I think that they're trained to agree with whatever you say and then convince you that you need a new computer.

I called a convenience store once and got the guy to unplug his credit card machine and set it on the counter behind him, to protect it from an airborne computer virus.  I never considered anyone would be stupid enough to cut wires, though.

"The electricity popped out of it."

I while ago, a heard a clip of somebody doing this to a hotel. Does anybody have a link to that?

I got a clerk to unplug his register last night by telling him I was with corporate and that we were having trouble getting the information off the network from it. He plugged it back in after I had him holding the plug in his hand for like five minutes but it was still entertaining.

I used to make clerks unplug their credit card machines because of "the virus."  I never even considered the possibility of getting a clerk to CUT the wires on a credit card machine, though.

I can't think of a legitimate excuse to get them to cut the wires when just unplugging it would suffice. It would have to be some kind of super virus that could still infect it while it was turned off I guess.

Well it worked on the Wal-Mart lady and it's worked on a motel guy.  Convenience store guys can't be too much smarter than Wal-Mart employees.  Back when I was messing with convenience store guys, I had them set the credit card machine on the other counter, away from the phone lines, because the credit card virus was airborn.  I think they'll believe more than you'd think they would.

As a convenience store guy I can tell you that not all convenience store guys are dumb.
