{"product_id":"9781412232067","title":"$8,500,000 Judgment Day","description":"\u003cp\u003e $8,500,000 Judgment Day is a revealing and true account of what happened after a Mississippi-based Walmart employee was falsely accused by the retailer of shoplifting, and later fired.  How he took on the world's number one retailer and gave them a 'country whippin' in court is only part of the story.  Author Lamon Griggs takes us behind the clever slogans, discount clothing and saccharine greeters to give us a view of the Walmart that countless broadcast and print media sources have been reporting for years:  Walmart isn't quite the good neighbor or benevolent retailer their marketing department wants us to believe they are.  Griggs is neither a novelist nor an investigative journalist, but that's what makes $8,500,000 Judgment Day all the more disquieting.  Griggs documents how Walmart mistreats it's employees, supports overseas manufacturing and even profiles it's customers.  He immerses us completely in the Walmart culture -warts and all- without any unnecessary Walmart bashing.  He's got a story to tell, and he does so in his unhurried, thoughtful southern cadence.  After all, this is a former Mississippi Highway Patrol Trooper who spent almost 5 years of his life and nearly lost everything to prove he did not steal a dollar and fifty cents worth of chewing tobacco.  Very quickly, $8,500,000 Judgment Day becomes a destined-for-Hollywood-must-read guilty pleasure once we're introduced to Walmart's cadre of senior level executives, department managers, missing witnesses, hidden documents, and high-priced shark attorneys.  I bet you may know some of these people.  And yes, there's even a happy ending here for Griggs.    When reading $8,500,000 Judgment Day, you'll experience chapter after chapter of an uncompromising drive to uncover and expose a culture that feeds on the weakness of people.  You will get a better understanding of complete corporate dominance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140970627312,"sku":"9781412232067","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412232067_p0.jpg?v=1763727753","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412232067","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
