WASHINGTON – If you’re in the market for a new iPad, you might want to consider how it has been handled before putting down hundreds of dollars.

A new YouTube video shows Wal-Mart employees in Pikesville, Ky., throwing the tablets while playing a rather sloppy game of catch.

“This is why you don’t buy an iPad from Wal-Mart,” says one man before his coworker chucks the prized commodity. “That’s iPad No. 3 we’ve thrown.”

WPIX reports the employees have been fired.
