Get the attention of the world's largest corporation - Walmart. Have 5000 - 8000 phony shoppers go into one store. It will be so jammed up it won't be able to do business and will be forced to close. That will cost them money and that they don't like that! They will quickly realize that the 99% are really in control. Plus nobody can be arrested because everyone is a shopper. Now you will have the corporations full attention and they will be ready to listen. "Occupy the Corporation"
You can barely get 8000 people in Times Square. You are going to get 8000 people in a Walmart? First of all, you will be on private property genius, which will get the group arrested for trespassing. You will get arrested because no one will be able to keep their mouth shuts and just walk around the store. They will be compelled to chant, hold a sign, make a statement and that will get them arrested.
You could close down the Walmart but then you'll have 250 new people unemployed. Great outcome.
You got to love a group that amasses 0.01% of the population yet self-proclaims themselves as "the 99%." Pretty hilarious.
bwaHAHAHAHA!
...haha, okay wait, let's think about this. The only way you could get anybody's attention would be to repeat this endeavor over and over. Let's say the police did NOT get involved. What I would do as a responsible manager, if this kept up for months, even a year, is eventually close the store. If the store is not profitable it's bringing the fortunes down of other employees by remaining open and needs to close. So what you would achieve would be dozens of more workers laid off. That's still far fetched however; I'm sure the police would get called for some sort of public disturbance, but you get the idea. Thanks for trying though.
