Worst Company In America Consolation Round: AT&T Vs. Walmart

As we announced on Friday, for the first time in Worst Company history, readers will have the chance to vote on a third-place finisher from between the two companies eliminated in the Semifinal round. This means that either Walmart or AT&T will end up being honored with the coveted Bronze Poo trophy.

Neither contender put up much of a fight in the Semifinals. AT&T was barely able to eke out 25% of the vote against EA, while Walmart gave up more than 77% to Bank of America.

Let’s hope that these two titans of terrible bring their A game today — or at least their B-plus game; it is only a Bronze Poo.

If either of these competitors had been on your least-favorite list going into the tournament, here’s your final chance to make sure it gets the recognition it deserves.

(Voting for this poll will end at 11:59 p.m. ET tonight, April 2)


The winner of the first-ever WCIA Bronze Poo will be announced Tuesday, April 3.
