Aisle be back! Safeway employee pokes fun at management greed with explosive sci-fi movie parody about store closure (but is then suspended on his LAST DAY)
The California-based retailer is pulling out of the Chicago market, closing 72 stores and cutting 6,000 jobs - including Mr Yamamoto's position. The closures took place on December 28.
The video was posted to YouTube on December 27 with the title 'Thanks Safeway'. Bosses quickly got wind of the video and suspended Mr Yamamoto the next day.
The clip is styled as a trailer for an 'Independence Day'-like blockbuster and shows alien aircraft landing on the store, robots marching down the aisles and blowing up employees with huge guns.
