But that's the point, isn't it? In rigid socialist systems, you couldn't say a thing or you'd lose; in capitalism, you can say whatever you want, it doesn't mean a thing. You still may lose the job if you flatly refuse to partake in the ridiculous and humiliating rite every morning. I mean, working at Walmart is already low; cheerleading for it is pretending you love it.
Remember our definition of "superpoltron" (*)? When the big boss reads the speech he wrote, he applauds with the others. And superpoltron squared also takes notes.
But these sleazes at least know there's a chance they'd climb up the ladder, worm their way into the apple, stuff their pockets and get reimbursed for the inconvenience. What do the little ants at Walmart have to hope for? That they'd become venerated greeters?

(*) in our political slang, "poltron" is a suck-up, could be also called a suppository, because he'd insert himself up there into the big kahuna's posterior if it would advance his chances and career
