NBC is planning a new sitcom from actor/writer Paul Rust which will be produced through Conan O’Brien’s Conaco at Universal Media Studios, Variety reports. Rust will write the project and star as himself, recounting his days as a college graduate who takes a job at a small-town Wal-Mart (in the show, it will be a fictional store). He has previously acted in I Love You, Beth Cooper and Inglourious Basterds.

As an employee of Walmart, I will watch this. I just hope that this stays close to the Walmart employee experience.
of course it won’t stay close to the Walmart experience – it’s a (so called) sitcom – mark my words – it’s going to have all the stuff that will end up pissing Walmart off – otherwise why would working for a living be a sitcom – it would be reality
Well I know that. What I meant is the stuff customer wise, like the stupid questions and such. That could easily be some funny stuff for a sitcom.
customer wise stuff – like moms letting kids eating all the food in the cart and dumping the boxes back on the shelves – yeah – funny (NOT) – most customers I see at my walmart are teenage shoplifters and kiddie eat everything before I have to pay for it
