A few years into the future, an all out bloodbath happens between all stores.

ie; Walmart, KFC, Burger King, Dollar Tree, U-haul.

They make armies, all fitted with their own weaponry.

I provided a few examples, but it isn't limited to vehicles.

Your job is to either document some of the major battles that happened,

Or some of the weaponry used during this bloody battle.

Over and out, soldier.

the retails just keep warring and gradually going bankrupt and dying while the sane find refuge in AppleBee's and rebuild society but this time only with mashed potato salad tea

...

The rolling hills are a wilderness for the shopping carts. Tobias came to this conclusion, as he gazed to the opposite Hill, where the unholy McDonald's Clowns were gathered with their knifes, spatulas, and oil. Oh, even from here the smell of fries made everyone's arteries clogged, prompted the hearts of the Lidl discounter defenders to beat faster, as if they were not organs, but war drums. Yet, that which the shopping assistants had in their shopping carts could trump even boiling oil.

You had to tip the hot oil over someone's head, but the chainsaw had a longer reach...

Another day, another mindless bloodbath. When will it end? Tobias didn't know. His soul was as gray as the clouds above. And just like the clouds, he could only witness the Dollar Wars. He took a couple of steps back, sat down in the safe zone, lit a cigarette, and cried.

Ah yes, the I.K.E.A. series of portable siege machines...

The Shootitfar catapult can be built in less than 30 minutes and is used to sling unfinished cupboards with misleading manuals into enemy territory, causing confusion and dreadful mental damage.

"Sir, you can't possibly be thinking about attacking the Disney-Google-Meta alliance, they're neutral!"
"Lieutenant, please tell me where you obtained the information that they're neutral?"
"Sir, I have made a thorough search on the internet, interrogated dozens of refugees from the United States and followed all of their social media accounts. All sources confirm that the cryo-head cyborgs, genetically engineered killer mice and cellphone zombies only ever acted defensively, Sir."
The Colonel of the Fast Food alliance tssked. (he was technically a general, but at the insistence of a Kentucky based major player of the alliance, no one had a grade above Colonel)
"Lieutenant, all of your sources are being controlled by the very enemy we are about to strike. Information has always been the utmost priority in war, and they are masterfully controlling it."
"Do you mean people on the internet have been lying? But the internet is good, the internet is truth, Sir!"
"That was one of their earlier slogans, it came out the day they started their alliance. It is impressive that it has permeated society that much. This is why we need to defeat them and wrestle that power away from them!"

Elsewhere, in a secluded area, a man with gigantic mouse ears directly grafted upon his head was smirking. He turned to the screens facing him, one of which showed a shower of figures reminiscent of the matrix, the other the perfect image of the ideal general, so fake it would have hurt his designer heart if more than a decade of war hadn't already killed it.
"Well, gentlebeings, it looks like we've got some new information from our embedded spy software on every device ever sold. Good job, Larry and Mark."
"It's always a pleasure to know what people are doing, said the too-perfect general."
The line on the other screen molded into a question mark.
"Oh, our plan? We're well underway with that! Once the mutant chickens and the redhead brigade start moving forward, we'll draw them into a fight with the drones of Amazon-Tesla, that's why I insisted on your backdoor access. When they'll have weakened each other, we'll just swoop in to collect the spoils. We could make a great movie out of it afterwards! Of course, the narrative will be that we are the reasonable good guys intervening to prevent bloodshed."
"That's a sound plan, I'll push the narrative on the social media as their invasion progresses. They don't stand a chance, and we'll have the civilians on our side. As always."
The screns shut one after the other. With the Fast Food alliance defeated, and Amazon-Tesla weakened they would be even closer to world domination.
It was time to plan a narrative painting his allies as the bloodthirsty ones of the alliance. Maybe first as a series? There was work to do before Disney ruled the whole world, alone.
