History Main / SuperSlaveMarket

* Wal-Mart (sorry, ''Sprawl''-Mart) is portrayed this way in ''TheSimpsons'' episode where Homer gets a job there. There is no chance for advancement, the employee's are locked in at night, Homer has to work overtime without pay (otherwise he would be falsly accused of being an illegal Mexican immigrant, and exported to Mexico) and chips are implanted in their heads.

One of the main characters of Paul Southworth's '''Krazy Larry''' works at the superstore "Everything But Walnuts", a giant store that carries literally every imaginable product except walnuts, first as a clerk, and later, as their mascot "Nonuts The Ferret". Ironically, he finds this job after quitting his old BurgerFool job. He actually enjoys the mascot part of the job more because even though it involves him standing outside naked with only a censorbar over his crotch and getting pelted with rocks by passing cars, its still better than dealing with the soulcrushing drudgery inside the store.

* Mega-Lo-Mart from ''KingOfTheHill'' qualifies. Filled with incompetent clerks with poor customer service skills. Hank had to work there once due to being laid off from Strickland Propane when Mega-Lo-Mart temporary sells propane.

* The titular character Ted gets a job in one of these places. Though the negative aspects are largely omitted in favor of Ted's WackyFratboyHijinx

* In DanVs, Dan tries to get revenge on Gigundo-Mart which literally has everything in bulk.

* ''{{Retail}}'' is all about the world of the Super Slave Market. Namely, how much it sucks.

* Superstore USA from Family Guy certainly qualifies.
** Also from Family Guy, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, [[spoiler: Stewie is dismayed to discover his future self is a lowly grocery clerk instead of an EvilOverlord.]]

* Where Eric and Red work in ''That70sShow''.

The SuperSlaveMarket is filled to brim with merchandise reaching up to the fluorescent light ceiling, annoying consumer crazed customers and of course, dozens of overworked, underpaid disgruntled employees. This is where dreams go to die, right into the discount bin.

The NewJobEpisode will often focus on one character working in such an environment (if he doesn't become a BurgerFool) and then subsequently finding out being a grocery store or local [[VoldeMart Wal-Mart]] employee is not as easy as it looks. Alternatively, [[WorkCom the fiction will sometimes focus on those poor souls that have already been working there for years]] (Such as in 'Clerks' or 'Employee of the Month') and will give the viewer an inside look at life behind the counter.

If the SuperSlaveMarket is making peoples lives miserable outside the store as well, it's a VoldeMart.

* Sam and his friends on ''{{Reaper}}'' spend as much time dealing with the incompetent management and obnoxious customers of The Work Bench as they do chasing down escaped damned souls. It's a toss-up which job is worse.

* Also from Family Guy, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, [[spoiler: Stewie is dismayed to discover his future self is a lowly grocery clerk instead of an EvilOverlord ]]

* The website 'Not Always Right' has countless tales from retail workers who live this trope

Either way, as this is TruthInTelevision, working at the SuperSlaveMarket is certainly no fun. Between the customers, the SoBadItsHorrible music and the tyrannical management, quitting or getting fired is sometimes the only way out.
