The r/peopleofwalmart online group has a long and storied history. It was founded more than a decade ago, in mid-March of 2012. Throughout the years, the subreddit has grown to a very impressive 574k+ members.
Now, the community ranks among the top 1% of all groups on Reddit.

According to the team that runs the group, the subreddit is a place where anyone can share their experiences and sightings of interesting people at Walmart. Even though the subreddit is mainly focused on photos, internet users can also write text posts as well. However, these have to be descriptive.
In short, you have to put some effort into all of your posts. The community appreciates it.

Meanwhile, the photos themselves have to meet a certain standard of quality, too. The mod team asks its members to only share sightings that are unique and interesting.
Of course, weirdness might be a tad subjective, but you can get a sense of what’s expected of you when you browse the sub.
On top of that, all of the sightings have to be done in public. The members of the community also have to keep all of their discussions civil and respect one another if they want to continue being a part of r/peopleofwalmart.

What's The Most Interesting Thing You've Seen In A Walmart? Here's A Marmoset
Walmart is a huge player in North America. According to CNBC, Walmart is the biggest private employer in the United States, with over 1.6 million workers. In January 2023, the company increased its minimum hourly wage from $12 to $14 in order to stay competitive in the market, as its pay had trailed behind Amazon and Target.

A Maserati With Black Suede In The Parking Lot Of A Walmart

The company’s digital advertising business, in particular, saw huge growth: last year, it grew to $2.7 billion, as its e-commerce platform continues to expand. On top of that, Walmart is also expanding its healthcare business. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. ‘Fortune’ notes that the business agreed to a $3.1 billion settlement related to its pharmacies allegedly overprescribing painkillers.

Lady Praying For A Guy To Be Able To Walk Again
Mark Fuller 2 years ago
This is so damn insulting. How f*****g rude and stupid. No amount of prayer is gonna get that guy back on his feet.
Reuters recently reported that Walmart is changing how its hourly starting wage structure works for entry-level store employees. This is done in order to reduce costs in a slowing job market.
What this essentially means is that store workers, including cashiers, personal shoppers, stockers, self-checkout helpers, and associates manning departments such as sporting goods or electronics will all receive the same hourly starting wages that are paid at the store.

Meanwhile, Walmart spokesperson Anne Hatfield told Reuters that deli, auto center, and bakery workers will continue to receive higher starting wages because their roles are higher-skilled. For others who are joining the company just now in other roles, however, this means that they’ll be receiving less money for their efforts than three months ago.

Yes why not put a relatively clear picture of an innocent woman doing nothing but shopping on our website for people to laugh at an mock. The morality of this site is all over the place, if it was a pride rainbow top she was wearing it would be wow how brave and strong she is

Weird idea. A lot of people have said they don’t like her look, and I don’t like it myself because her clothes fit her so poorly. Those jeans are several sizes too small and look painfully uncomfortable. You seem to be going much further, in speculating that she’s hopelessly dim-witted, to the point that she thinks rolling up her shirt will somehow burn flab off? That makes no sense at all.

Is It That Serious?
Reuters notes that Walmart pays its employees different starting wages depending on where the store is based. “For example, workers in the Northeast start at higher rates compared to the Midwest,” the news agency notes. Hatfield said that the new wage structure will not change Walmart’s minimum hourly wage, which currently stands at $14. Nor, the spokesperson said, will this result in pay cuts for existing employees.

A friend of mine made it to the "front page" (or whatever you'd call it) of POW sometime around 2008-ish for bringing his boa constrictor to a Walmart in San Diego. It still comes up in conversation even tho he passed away a few years ago. For context: there was a reptile convention going on and he didn't want to leave her in the car. I can fully understand how he ended up on the page though. Very tall guy with a huge snake around his shoulders is definitely not something you see every day.

a) Does America have any stores other than Walmart? b) Do any other countries have this sort of thing? Walmart own Asda in the UK, but we don't see this sort of thing - and we don't take pictures of all of it.
Zed Muk 2 years ago
Walmart sold Asda off 3 years ago - it's now owned by the Issa brothers. I would say the most likely shops for strangeness in the UK would be Farm Foods, Heron, Lidl or Aldi but certainly not close to these examples from Walmart.
