The supermarket, just like the subway or the airport , is a place where life unfolds in the most natural way. In fact, it captures the human experience so well, you can even sometimes feel as if you aren't shopping, but watching a play.
There's Sam from the Night's Watch in the lead role of a cashier, a "Nana Slicer" on a shelf, competing for the most intense prop design award ever, and a couple getting married in the garden section at a local Walmart. So next time you walk into a store, view it as you would a Tony Award-winning improvisation, and I promise you, it'll make the experience so much better. In the meantime, scroll down to check out this list by Bored Panda which includes the strangest moments in shopping history!

I Met This Gentleman At The Grocery Store Today And Asked If I Could Take A Photo Of Him
@Rita Miller why shame? Polio kills those it does not maim, the vaccine would have prevented a life time in this chair. Shame on you for ignoring the truth.
Load More Replies...One more thing no one has said yet - kudos to the man taking the picture for asking first. :)
Four words that could change the lives of many people for the better...
Sadly this message still isn't clear enough for a lot of anti-vaxers. And it all could be so easily resolved by proper legislation to force all parents to have their children vacinated. Thanks to anti-vaxxers a lot of diseases which were almost abolished are returning. I hope that they can live with the thought that thanks to them people are dying because their children are spreading diseases.
Blessings to this gentleman, and thanks to him for putting anti-vaxxers in their place!!!
Unfortunately, anti-vaxers are more likely to blame his condition on vaccines.
Load More Replies...Amazing! I love it when people deal with their situation and keep their good humor. We need more people like him to show these antivaxxers just how wrong they are.
My Local Grocer Is Getting Pretty Creative With Their Soda Boxes
That's really genius, it takes a very creative mind even to think of doing something like that, specially with Soda bottles.
It also takes doing some planning: creating a sketch first, counting how much of which color you need vs. have, how much place you need vs. have ... to see if it's even feasible
Load More Replies...My mom used to be a merchandiser for Coca-Cola. They used to put up pretty cool displays...but nothing like this.
Until some jerk comes in and says" I want that one, down at the very bottom."
Load More Replies...This was probably done by some entry-level stocker who isn't being paid enough.
I Was Going To Buy Some Chips When I Noticed This Little Guy
I will have 2 of them please. Are these available in other flavors too?
Load More Replies...If I was there, I would insist on buying it for the price of a Cheese and Onion. It IS in the box...
I like to see store cats. It' means they don't have a rat problem. Every Home Depot has cat's that live there for that reason.
i Love store cats Gerry. Unfortunately though the latter isn't actually so; back 4 yrs. ago 1 store in S. Carolina made national news after management decided to kick out a stray that had lived there for 13 yrs.. Due to an Change.Org petition w/ over 1,500 signatures, Depot the black female cat won the right to remain there! Wish it were true though...
Load More Replies...Made My Week
it's not really a stupid question it's just not worded the best
Load More Replies...Actually it can get bigger. Defrost it , inject brines into meat areas for enlargement. Just like lip injections
the poultry companies do that routinely - "added value" - ie - increase the wweight of the product
Load More Replies...So-I shot my first turkey yesterday for Thanksgiving. I Scared the s**t out of everyone in the frozen food section
Brazilian Man In A Supermarket
As if it's the most natural thing in the world for him. Maybe it is! Very cool video!
A lot of people would have just left it on the floor. Seriously, I've seen people throw trash on the ground 6" from a trash bin.
It's not a trash, it's one of his purchases

“Come Eat With Us, Danny"
There's also two little old ladies here in my neighborhood that aren't twins but dress up and put on their makeups identical as if they were twins. The funny thing is they are always bickering and arguing one another. And yes they're short and tiny and their makeup is out of wack....
I would love to see a photo of them! Especially their out of whack makeup!
Load More Replies...glad i'm not the only one. is Danny standing behind them in pink shirt w/ a creepy/cool bunny design on it?
Load More Replies...Those are the girls from the "Shining" all grow up. Run I tell you, RUN !!!!
I've met them also! I thought it was at King Soopers so the only reason they'd be at Safeway was for cake and ribs! I had identical twin aunties who were less identical to me than than than these ladies. I hope they're well.
So My Grandpa Saw Wilting Plants At Wal-Mart, and Started Watering Them (He Is Not A Employe)
Correction : He is the hero type world "needs" a lot more! Which ain't deserve s**t!
Load More Replies...and this is why walmart is still going strong. Their customers take better care of the stores then their employees. Which, from how I hear they treat their employees, not really surprised
Yeah. Pay's c**p and they don't train people for the departments they are assigned to.
Load More Replies...I have been so tempted to do this at Home Depot! The local nursery is more expensive but they take better care of their plants.
Showdown At The Supermarket
If they touch each other there will be a matter-antimatter explosion...
If they pee beside each other , they better not cross the streams, just to be sure.
Load More Replies...Reminds me of when I bought a humidifier and dehumidifier and let them fight it out in the back room.
if your talking about the guys... from nearly fifteen years experience... the guy on the right. The guy's posture on the left is reading as unconfident and submissive (hands closer, feet spaced closer, and physically remaining closer to the edge of the walking space,) also, the blue jeans and whatever he's wearing for boots looks really unproffessional. the other's guy's dress is neater and the shoes he's wearing are appropriate for long hours on your feet.

Load More Replies...Saw This Guy Sleeping In A Bodega In NYC
or a neurological problems if it's not regular had bumping on people or things.
Load More Replies...I read somewhere that cats do this sometimes if they are sick. I know healthy cats do it too but to see a cat doing it in the middle of the floor of a bodega is unsettling. I hope KitKat is okay.
He is head pressing and that's a serious condition that needs to be checked by a vet...it happens to dogs too!
That’s not funny. That is head pressing. This is a cat I in pain and distress. They usually do it against walls but floors are common too. It’s not the same as when your cat stalls asleep on the back of the couch with its face buried.
Cat's often do this if they are in pain or discomfort. It's been associated with brain tumours or older cats getting too old and feeling poorly in general. It's cute, in a way, sure.. but it always worries me when I see a cat doing this.
He's head pressing..that is a serious condition that needs to be check by a vet...dogs suffer it too!! poor thing!
Walmart Has Some Terrifying Products. Nana Wasn't Too Happy About It
Also, that product sucks. It mashes the two ends with the green sides leaving a messy, mangled, deformed banana mush.
Looks Like Sam Didn't Make The Cut At The Citadel
He looks a lot like Samwell Tarley, a character of Game of Thrones, so this is a reference to GoT ;)

I had to do a second look. He looks my daughters' ex boyfriend..... Who 's name is Sam and He worked at Wal Mart when they were together lol
Wear The Same Color Shirt As Apple Store Staff And You Can Recommend Android Phones For A Few Hours Before They Kick You Out
yes. nothing like paying to have your data siphoned off. okay, apple's not much better, but lets be honest, android's fanbois are just as fanboish as apple's fanbois.
Load More Replies...I know one woman who has a problem that usually at least one person always think that she is an employee when she visits any store. That happens even though she would wear totally different clothes than the store staff. So instead of correcting them that she is not a staff member she has trolled plenty of people. For example if she is in a hypermarket and someone asks from her where to find a specific item she will probably tell them to search it from the another store. Then those people will ride many kilometres to get that item. :D That woman has no idea why so many people always automatically thinks that she is a staff member.
I have the same problem at Walmart (not my preferred store but they have the floss I like). For some reason wearing dark khaki pants make people assume I'm an employee, doesn't matter what kind of shirt I have on (graphic tee, plaid, etc.) At least one person will stop me while walking the main pathway too all if I work there. I'll assist the best I can anyway.

Load More Replies...It's 4am. This Is What I Find In Walmart
I didnt see the heading above the cards - lol - cops have mothers too

Late for Valentine's Day, early for Mother's Day

I Take My Hedgehog Grocery Shopping, And No One Tells Me To Stop
I can't think why it wouldn't be kind! Hedgehogs that are pets need just as much exposure to other humans as cats or dogs for the same reasons. The little hedgey is off the ground, in a secure spot so he's perfectly safe!
Load More Replies...This is not a wild hedgehog it's an African Pygmy, a hybrid bred only in captivity. They are a domesticated species that doesn't exist in the wild. Some of them love going out on adventures. We have one who is very social. If he was scared he would go into a tight ball. This little guy looks very content.
This could possibly be a rescue that couldn't go back to the wild. Most of the nature shows I have seen on them they adapt to 'pet' life and just as loving and affection as some other animals.
Looks fine to me, but I'd have him in a screened-in carrier, just to hedge my bets.
LOL I take my parrot grocery shopping sometimes... however there is a difference between an animal that travels hundreds of miles with its flock in the wild and a little solitary hedgehog. As long as he isn’t stressed out...
My Local Wal-Mart's Greeter Is Always Playing Guitar Or Violin. He's A Cool 'Person Of Wal-Mart'!
Wal-Mart has dedicated greeters at the entrance? Is that a common thing in US stores?
I think he would call himself a fiddler. You can tell by the way he's holding the bow.
Nice. Wal-mart surprisingly makes a habit of doing things like this. I used to work in one where they would consistently use my co-worker at the front who was an airbrush artist, to paint temporary tattoos for kids. And they paid her to do it! Wal-mart can be pretty cool at times.
I hope he's allowed to accept tips. it would make visiting my walmart more enjoyable- they've gone the 'automation' route, and the only time I see somebody is if I chase them down. doesn't stop them from installing more cameras to be like 'we're watching you.'

This Monk Just Stopped Me And My Dog In The Store To Tell Me That My Dog Reminded Him Of A Picture He'd Seen

Yes! A trio in the USA removed a shark from an aquarium and put it in a bucket of water in a stroller!

You're not supposed to remove them!)

My Son Did Not Enjoy This Book. 0/10. Do Not Recommend
That's definitely not a kid's book. It's a dark humor book for adults.

Definitely not Canadian, a Canadian would have put all that stuff back in jar, put that in waste bin, walk up to cashier and pay for the damage and then write a sorry letter!
Oh gosh haha, the funny thing is, I'm Canadian and I've sort of done that all before (and I'm Canadian) XD. I accidentally dropped a thing of juice, causing it to spill everywhere, so I asked for a mop and then paid for it anyway... The manager insisted I didn't need to, but I felt horrible lol. It was in an American store haha, they thought it was weird... I also doodled an apology note too haha
Load More Replies...I accidentally knocked something off a shelf, went and found an employee a told them about it, I offered to pay but she said it was ok, they shouldn’t have put that many on the shelf to begin with (it was overfilled) and then I stood and waited until she came back with a mop to clean it up, because there was glass and I didn’t want anyone stepping in it. Yes, I’m Canadian.

In the US there are such laws in many places, but there are also laws that allow service animals as an exception and a lot of people consider "therapy animals" "service animals" so they skirt those health laws.
