About the ending
Why did Velda end up working in K-Mart?
shareI think it was a play on the fact that she kept Annie in line by saying she was so pathetic the only job she would be able to get what a cashier at K-Mart. Or something like that.

Yeah it was supposed to be funny ebcause she kept telling Annie she was going to end up back at K-Mart "aisle 2"
sharei agree with the other. its was supposed to be one of those funny ironic twist of faiths to show us the she always told annie that would be the only job she would be able to get if she wasnt working with the troops./
shareHey I think we were all willing to join Plendor's Pillgrims!!
shareOr Plendor's Pioneers!!
shareMaybe we'll join Velda's Avengers!
shareIt's too bad to see Velda leave, she was always fun at Halloween parties.
shareWhat I think is strange is that earlier in the movie, Velda says she was a nurse in the army. Why in the world would a registered nurse be working at k-mart? I realize it was meant for laughs, but it still doesn't make much sense.
shareShe would be one scary nurse.
shareI always got the impression than Velda ALWAYS worked at K-Mart, since, like another poster said, troop work is voluntary. Velda obviously felt that a cashier was far superior to an aisle person, that's why the put-down.
Working in the Wilderness Girls gave Velda a sense of power, when in the real world she (like most of us) was a nobody, something she despised. Hence her win-at-all-costs attitude!
