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!

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.
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.
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.”
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.

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.

Sometimes I hate being an American. This a**hat and his kind are 90% of the reason, although I understand his concerns..., he's in a walmart.
Yeah, but you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

It's kind of him to offer his attackers a choice as to what they will be stabbed with.
Or what they’ll stab HIM with… since his attackers will be able to stab him with those.

All those knives serve a different purpose, he could be a tradesman, woodman's or preparing for a trip, but it appears the automatic negatively criticise is the first response.
yes, i often carried what appeared to be knives on my belt. i would usually forget i had them on, since i wore them 12 to 16 hours a day. judging by his pants and work boots, he's probably blue collar.

Because it’s America, so god damn it if they say I can do it I’m going to do it times 10 to show how American I am!

One for drywall, one for wires, one for sticky stuff, one for scaling fish... checks out
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.

I'm not sure if these are all actually knives though (can't really tell) but some of these may be occupational tools?
Sweet living Jesus. What kind of people live in America? What is in a supermarket that requires these knives? Come to Ireland. We go to there to get groceries and beer. Eat then get drunk and have a bit of craic. (In Ireland, craic means having a laugh and some fun). I have some knives, but I only use them when I'm going fishing. What the f**k is going on with this prick?
Ooh - that’s so very illegal here in Sweden. I know - I left my damned work belt on to a store and forgot I had my damned knives in it. They weren’t to know I was using them for garden work - boom, $400 in fines. I totally deserved it - wearing knives in a public space is illegal and I wore knives in a public space.
Lets see now which one do I want to take, the toe nail clipper , or the razor, or the ice pick or the stamp they use at the DMV and other important places.
I guess that makes him feel like the man he never was before, or is now.
I'm trying to imagine how he sits in his vehicle to get to and from the store.
how's he gonna get a swing in when his back's so bad he can't stand up straight
He has his jacket hiked up so that aaalllll the peeps see his multitude of knives. Everyone is thinking, what the hell is wrong with him ?
See how he's leaning on the cart so that it makes his hip to stick out so he makes sure everyone sees how just amazingly cool he is???! 😳😆
Under that sweatshirt, deceptive dad bod swag he’s a secret ninja who will come flying with a knife in each hand…. And each foot.
You just know he is practicing nunchucks in his moms basement on Friday nights.
Hey, ya never know when you might need to peel an apple, gut a deer or appear on the next episode of Chopped!
Is it just me or do his legs look weird? I'm trying to follow but it looks like he has three legs?
In my store a few years ago there was an old gent in a fringe suede leather jacket with a large official looking US Marshal badge and accompanying side arm BIG hand guns hanging around the cold meat cases. He was always there no matter how many times I went on different days and different times...never spoke to anyone...just stood there leaning slightly on the case behind him. Looked to be at least 75 or 80 straight out of the Old West...this was in Ohio!!!
How does he sit comfortably? Does he take them off every time he climbs into his giant pick-up (I am safely assuming that's what he drives) or does he have no a*s cheek on the right side?
What you lack in one department, you compensate in another way 😄
Umm there is something funky going on with those legs in relation to the feet position or the man has 3 legs and one of them is hiding behind the other two.
How the hell is this even legal? Are they his freedom stabbies? He’ll probably say that he’s a black belt 🥋 in ninjutsu or something like that.
You see a chocolate cake, you eat a chocolate cake. I see nothing weird about that ;)
$52 spent at Walmart. $8,500 for a necessary drip. Wait, I know what's wrong with this pic.
With phone booths getting phased out these days, superheroes are finding it hard to get changed 🤣

I was only once in a Walmart...I was dissapointed because I only met normal people there
300 million people, largest discount retailer, 20 year old pics - do the math.
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.
I'll drive past every Walmart in town to shop at Target. Target is basically Walmart without the wierdos.
