It’s weird to think that today, there are still opportunities to create mythology. As evidenced by these shocking Walmart photos, that’s what regulars of the place almost are—mythological wonders you won't encounter anywhere else.
It makes you wonder, if we can create such unexplainable phenomena in this day and age, what happened on Earth in ancient history? Was there a Walmart equivalent where all the mythological creatures were born, and we greatly misunderstood their purpose? We’ll never know.
While you can't know the backstory of these Walmart pics, some people might be having a bad day, living out a challenge, or not caring enough about the world. We encourage you to have an open mind and a good time in this article, as it’s not every day you see sights like these. They are almost like Renaissance paintings—magnificent in their way, pictures without context that capture your attention in an instant,
So take a trip between the long aisles of adventures of Walmart shoppers and explore the world of the unusual. Share this article with your friends and family, and don't keep it to yourself!

I see absolutely nothing wrong here. Woman is dressed for warm weather, man is wearing regular clothes and the kid has an awesome Pikachu costume. Parenting done just fine!
Not sure if that's a joke or not, but both adults are dressed as characters from the original Pokémon anime (Ash and Misty).
Load More Replies...If the kid ever gets lost in the store, I hope the PA system says something like "Ash, please come catch your Pikachu!"
That looks like Jacob Rees-Mogg in the background. So he shops at Walmart?
This is wicked cool parenting. Love how the whole family is cos-playing.

Who Are the People of Walmart?
The term “people of Walmart” is often used humorously to describe the diverse and exciting characters one might encounter while visiting Walmart. It’s a lighthearted way of acknowledging the diversity of our community, highlighting that all Walmart shoppers are welcome, regardless of their style or appearance.
In my state (US) Walmart doesn't sell liquor and our liquor stores don't sell diapers so I woke up feeling denied! 😅
I can’t remember what comedian it was who said his favourite joke was to fill his trolley up with booze then add a pack of nappies. Then when it goes through the till and he is told the total price, he says he doesn’t have enough and asks to put the nappies back. Sometimes people offer to buy them for him.
Maybe they are going to use the alcohol to sterilize the baby’s chow mein highway after a BM event. Let’s keep it positive people!
Jack or Huggies....let's toss for it...ok Honey? I win...now put that silly stuff back on the shelf
Yeah, definitely make fun of people who can't find or afford clothes that fit.
Ouch. Just ouch. The girls need to breathe! Seriously though, I'm not that much larger than the woman in the picture, and I cannot wear bras. They don't seem to be able to make them properly for very heavy women.
Just wear the crop top style yoga bras. No clasps, wires or itchy frilly bits, just stretchy cosiness. You can get them in all sizes. I got rid of all my rraditional bras several years ago and I'm not going back.

What Can You Expect While at Walmart?
You never know what you will find when you visit a Walmart. While you probably go armed with a grocery list or one specific item you need, the stores have everything. The massive stores are full of produce, frozen foods, snacks, cleaning supplies, shoes, clothing, you name it.
If you’re not from the United States, the idea of a store housing almost everything under the same roof might overwhelm you. And let us just say it sure can be overwhelming. The layout isn't always the same, so if you go to a new Walmart, you can easily wander the aisles frustrated, unable to find what you need for 20+ minutes.
But while you pace around the store searching desperately for the hand soap that seems to have vanished out of thin air, Walmart is a master at providing one more thing: entertainment in the form of humans doing human things.

It's not good to startle me in public. Specifically, for the person startling me.
How you can tell that absolutely NO women were consulted through every process of getting this made
Ngl - I get quite irritated seeing this giant, caricature of something I got shamed about for years by a big part of society - I remember getting weird, sometimes even accusatory, glances when s/o saw me buying pads/tampons, taking them with me to the lavatories, or giving one to a friend [etc]... ||| "Omg - don't put these on Display!" / "Can't you buy them yourself?" / "Why don't you just take these directly to the outside-bin?" / "Do you want a discrete bag?" [etc]... ||| pls take to account: that's an opinion, grown out of personal experiences - not an accusation against anyone who might find it funny
Thought it was a Maxi-Pad display! Obviously no woman worked on this design.
Why is It Only Walmart That Attracts Such a Diverse Crowd?
When it comes to why Walmart attracts such an eclectic crowd, we have a few theories. First, Walmart is the largest retailer in the United States and the second largest retailer globally. Because of this, it attracts massive crowds every day.
Everybody knows the Walmart name, and almost all Americans end up there at one point or another. It’s not the fanciest grocery retailer, so it is possible to avoid it, especially in cities like Los Angeles, where local chains far outnumber it. But with an average of 37 million people entering Walmart stores every week, there are bound to be some interesting characters and pictures of a lot happening around them.
And with Walmart’s reputation, it is one of the few places where you wouldn’t feel the need to change out of your sweatpants or make sure your hair looks alright before going. Walmart is a “come as you are” store, which is beautiful. And it breeds the perfect environment for capturing interesting “People of Walmart.”
I don’t like it when they start to turn into long brown things. Too sweet.
That is not a Walmart sign. I don't know what store uses that sign and phrase, but it's not Walmart.
I hope it’s not one of those things where they aren’t actually 100% bananas and therefore can’t refer to them as such. Like “cheese product” instead of cheese. Long yellow things, Soylent Green….
Absolutely! Those are indeed some gorgeous babies in that stroller.

Yes, every state has different laws regarding food safety and animals but pretty much these aren’t service animals and they’re walking past fresh produce that isn’t wrapped/sealed.
Load More Replies...Those looks like Siamese’s and now I have to babble. Siamese are super smart and talkative, they’re social animals and do better in groups then on their own. They’re like little babies. A Siamese bob cat I know TJ (he has feline herpes but we love him 🫶) is the sweetest ever. He loves me over anyone and love bites and yells at me when he sees me.

Load More Replies...What Kind of People Visit Walmart?
Many Walmart stores are open until late at night or even 24 hours a day, making the crowd more interesting. Teenagers and college kids might show up after a party for some late-night munchies, or people who have not slept in days might feel that 5 a.m. is the perfect time to go grocery shopping in their robes. Such a diverse crowd is guaranteed to bring us tons of confusing, no-context images.
We’re all for running errands outside peak hours to avoid crowds, but being open all night can open stores to a vast clientele. A great thing about this is that almost all Walmart stores allow overnight parking for free.
Free parking can be tricky in the US for homeless individuals living out of their cars or travelers moving through the country by van, but Walmart always comes through. This might be part of why the customers are so interested, but it’s a lifesaver for individuals in desperate situations who just need a place to park overnight.
A bit? I can tell you this: If anyone flaunts so many knives then you can be sure they don't know how to properly fight with a knife and will most likely fumble to even get one of those knives out of the scabbard.. A marine told me this.
Load More Replies...As an added touch of class, all but one of those knives can be easily grabbed out of their sheath/holsters by the young child standing behind Mr. Cargo Pants.
Exactly, he's going to be stabbed by someone standing behind him, with one of his own blades.

How are the people there supposed to know that is just a guy wearing knives vs a guy about to stab the place up?
Yep. One for waiving around uselessly, one for cutting his own finger, one for dropping, etc.

Any store that has monogrammed items is gonna get something spelled out. Could be cute, could be nasty. Depends how I’m feeling that day!
I assume it is meant to be like monogrammed towels. Your name is Sarah, you buy one with an S on it, for example

Also likely has an American flag on his front window that has the words “second amendment” in bold letters on the top
Load More Replies...Thank you! As an American, I would like to remind all citizens of the galaxy that not ALL of us clothe ourselves exclusively with the flag. In fact, many of us never wear clothing with it on it at all!
Load More Replies...Isn't that considered defacing the flag? I thought that wasn't allowed???
You're right...not supposed to be worn in a bunch of ways that it's used on clothing and swimwear...also mustn't be worn to where it looks like we're retreating

Maybe it's me, but this smells like a person with a taste for young girls. Now I'm not saying he's a pedophile, but he sure comes over like one. I wouldn't want my kids anywhere near this man, he's got a very unpleasant vibe...
The man looks like he hates having his picture taken and the little boy is staring at her like what is happening? We are all wondering...
Oh, I don't know. He's already having a feel.
Load More Replies...You know he's far gone when taking this thing to the store seems like a regular, normal idea
You see a chocolate cake, you eat a chocolate cake. I see nothing weird about that ;)
Why not just have her pay for the cake and tell her if anymore happens she will be gone. Cause you know that cake is going to the dumpster. Dumpster dive for it back. I really envy people that dumpster dive.
Walmart compacts their trash there is no way she or anyone can get to it without going through the compacter.
Load More Replies...I wish we could have done this when I worked at Publix and had similar situations.
I got disgusted looks from people when my three year old was wearing a stuffed animal backpack that was a monkey with a really long tail designed so the parent could hold the tail and make sure the kid didn’t get lost. In my defense I was trying to take a kid through the Dallas airport while carrying luggage and holding another child’s hand.
I think that’s a BRILLANT idea ! Also, people are stupid, so you don’t need any “ defense”. Would they rather your wild child get lost in an airport?
Load More Replies...I've seen some pretty bad cases of child misbehaviour, but still it makes you wonder, if now you have to use handcuffs, what will you be using when the kid turns 20?
Get child reins, they’re a thing and they won’t snap his wrist
I think this could help me when my husband and I go to Target. I lose focus quickly! 😁
"Okay, honey, now we only need to get... - Oh hey, chocolate is on sale!"

Same. I feel like this is borderline child abuse. How is that comfortable for the boy? And of that's how they treat him out in public, how does he get treated at home?

What hospital lets their patients out while hooked up to an IV? This has to be a Halloween thing or some sort of party scenario.

YES! This is it! This is the reason for a hospitalized person to be shopping. Cause his manager is a power crazed d*ck!
Load More Replies...Hahaha. When your child has to accompany you to the shops and he doesn't want to be there
When you are buying your first grandson but you are unsure how to add him to your cart?
Now, to be fair, maybe they were on sale and while it's a pain that it doesn't fit in the cart, how can you pass that up?
Monkeys shouldn't be pets, they live within a troop with a complicated social structure that just can't be replicated with one human owner.
I’m gonna fully support this because monkey ownership does so much damage to the poor soul. Many of them end up on Valium/benzo therapy because they’re not relating & socializing with their own. Their reactions are all need-based with humans and they learn to behave or act happy out of desperation and for survival. In most cases, they’re literally ripped away from an immediate family when young to be sold as pets. It devastates those who remain or are separated. The entire family unit and often the larger group will develop psychological disorders, specifically a form of DID, that truly upsets their natural world.
Load More Replies...No to monkeys as pets. bad for monkeys. Bad for humans. Just bad all around.
Monkeys shouldn't be in Walmart. They have a tendency to throw..... things.
🤦🏼♀️ I thought the monkey face was a tattoo on the guy’s neck!! HAHAHA
People who have monkeys as pets, any of the big cats etc. need to think about the damage they do to these animals. Taken out of their natural environment without their own species is like sending a human to prison without other humans to interact with.
Oh Jesus. Poor monkey. Monkey's ARE NOT PETS. They are WILD ANIMALS. Wtf? God I hate people so much

On the other hand, you have sheep poop all over your floors so... Thank you for being considerate?
At least it's in a nappy and not s******g all over the place which is more than I can say for some disgusting human beings.

They're really long but I don't think they are Lee Redmond cuz hers were straight not curled. Wince. But the new female record holder Diana Armstrong's nails are 42+ ft (nails totaled). And incidentally Lee lost her nails in a car accident and Diana lost her daughter in a car accident which prompted her to not cut them. Oy. I hate that I know this - GROSS! - but whenever I see the long nails thing I always have to Google why they do it lol. 🤔😅
Load More Replies...The CDC should just come in and cut those off! That's a public health menace right there!
Thought it was a lasso at first… you’re probably not going to be able to beat the world record for nail length anytime soon, may as well give it up.

Omg, I have two walmart stories. 1. Dude in front of the lady in front of us in the receipt check line. Unbuckled his belt, pulled his pants down, bent over and showed us his butt hole. 2. Drunk guy in the store, we reported him went on our shopping. Then, me and my sister were coming back from the bathroom and saw him in a checkput line with people behind him trying to help him stay up. Me and my sister thought that was his family. We get out of the store with our groceries and two men are on the sidewalk about to cross the lityle pharmacy drive through. We parked next to that. They ask is what our car looks like, we tell them, and they say a man is leaning on it. While drunk. There is a dirty hand print on our hood. The police come, my mom and the men talked with them and then we went home!
The Walmart in my home town was referred to as "Ghetto Walmart". It was a run down old building with an ugly green awning and Walmart painted on it in generic block lettering. I remember it fondly until it was torn down and rebuilt in the early 2000s. I think it was featured on People of Walmart's website at one point.
