Bad idea alert: Retail employees are trying to sell their uniforms for Black Friday shoppers

TwitterFacebook

What seemed as just a light-hearted joke on Twitter quickly turned into a viral tweet as one user created a way for Walmart customers to get the most out of their Black Friday shopping.

On Tuesday, Twitter user @OverlyLiked shared a photo of a Walmart vest tweeting that he was selling it for a total of $100, BuzzFeed reported.  

You’re probably wondering why anyone would need a vest from Walmart, but his reasoning was for shoppers to use it to bypass the long Black Friday lines. 

“You can even walk in, grab what you want, and walk out,” he wrote.

I’m selling this Walmart vest for $100. Use it to skip the line during Black Friday. You can even walk in, grab what you want, and walk out🤷🏾‍♂️pic.twitter.com/Q0UyDHUeU0
