This is 100% true. A good writer can turn a shit story into something interesting.
Also, aside from the being there for 24 hours part, you don't explain the whole angle besides that. It could be a piece highlighting the shitty treatment of their employees, it could be something about shitty customer service you get from chain places, it could be something about why mom & pop stores are better than chain megastores and how they are losing out because they can't keep up. It could just be a simple as 'how I lived in walmart for 24 hours off gummy worms'.
Honestly, there's a lot of different angles posible. I'd definitely read at least the first 1/4 of the article out of curiosity. You can tell by then whether it's worth reading on or not.
