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.

devdevo1919 Report

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.

I once saw a interview with a couple parking their Porsche in front of a 0.99 € store. The answer as to why they shopped there was basically "how do you think I afford the Porsche?"

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.

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.

I just see a fat person who looks like they are trying to deal with the heat. It's not a flattering look but there isn't really anything wrong with it. She's pushing a stroller. She likely does not care if you don't think she looks "sexy".

It doesn't matter if you are skinny or obese, but put your cloths on when you are in a shop! Especially during summer I have seen, mostly men, with no shirt on, buying groceries. Usually they are not even familiar with the concept of antiperspirant so.. Not so nice..

I can't comment on pregnancy belly, and not that I'm judging, but she definitely has extra mass on her arms, face and thighs. She's not a normal healthy weight. It's unhealthy. But there could be any number of reasons, and none of them are our business. But... the dress sense isn't flattering.

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.

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.
