This chapter analyzes worker narratives from Walmart and Target, revealing a consistent portrayal of these corporations as exploitative entities. Workers consistently report experiences of low wages, disrespectful treatment, and a sense of dehumanization, where they are treated as mere numbers. Drawing upon E.P. Thompson’s concept of “moral economy,” the chapter demonstrates a shared ethical framework among workers, contrasting sharply with corporate values. This framework emphasizes fairness, respect, and equitable profit distribution. The narratives  of the six individuals in this chapter highlight traumatic work environments, including managerial cruelty, racial tension, and relentless work demands. These accounts, despite the diverse backgrounds of the workers, converge on themes of “slavery” and “sweatshop” conditions, illustrating the profound emotional and physical toll of these jobs. The chapter underscores the systemic issues contributing to worker exploitation, including managerial indifference and a corporate focus on profit maximization. The workers’ experiences reveal a common narrative pattern: initial confusion, escalating chaos, the development of critical perspectives, and eventual job desertion, often followed by anti-corporate advocacy. This consistent pattern underscores the pervasive and deeply negative impact of these corporations on their employees.
