Mission Briefing

Welcome, Agent. If you have made it to this page that means you have been selected to participate in one of the largest civilian operations against comsumerism. This operation has been code named Project Wal+Mart Freedom. Should you choose to accept your position as an Agent of Project Wal+Mart Freedom, this website will be your headquarters. A comprehensive directory of all things the great devil of consumerism, Wal+Mart, has to offer phreaks and hackers. This will be an ongoing project, continually growing and adapting as the battlefield changes. Please check back to this website for updated status of our missions. On to the debriefing...

Wal+Mart officially recognizes four store categories: Discount Stores, Supercenters, Sam's Clubs and Neighborhood Markets (Wal+Mart 2003 Annual Report). From input from hackers around the US and Canada, we believe there are actually six types of Wal+Mart stores. We are not considering Sam's Club warehouse stores, although they are definitely a part of this lopsided equation.

As stated, Wal+Mart stores are grouped into six categories, which are listed below. The first five categories are listed by increasing size.

1. Neighborhood Market - Essentially a grocery store with an Electronics cubby hole

2. Hometown Store - Exact opposite of a Neighborhood Market; general merchandise (GM) with snacks and milk

3. Hometown Supercenter - A Hometown Store with groceries, sans Deli, Bakery and the like; longer hours

4. Supercenter - Full GM side, full grocery side with Bakery, Deli and seafood department, and "subdomains" like Optometrist, Salon, etc; generally open 24 hours

5. "Soulsucker" Supercenter - These "SS" stores are built in key markets and in large suburban areas. This is the new style of Supercenter built after 2001. They are a whopping 186,000 square feet. These are a derivation of a failed Wal+Mart venture, Hyper-Mart. A Hyper-Mart was a store where you could go and get ANYTHING. It was a failed attempt to shed their low-class stigma. Since, Wal+Mart has returned to their roots, building and indenturing entire communities.

The sixth type of store is not open to the public. It is called the Sample Store and these stores sell damaged goods at reduced prices to Wal+Mart employees only.

While inside stores gathering information, you must be aware of every situation. That is why we prepare you by providing the Wal+Mart Emergency Codes:

WHITE: Accident
BLUE: Bomb
RED: Fire
BLACK: Weather
GREEN: Hostage
ORANGE: Chemical
ADAM: Missing Child
BROWN: Shooting Situation

With this information, along with the rest of PWF, go forward young warrior. Gather intel. Spread the virus of anti-consumerism. Insidiously slip anti-memes into your daily communications...

And hack the sh!t out of Wal+Mart.
