Honesty, it doesn't bother me to see people wearing pants like this and I don't think most are idiots based on the way they dress, however the caption is hilarious!🤣👍

He's already wearing one. It's what is keeping their pants around their knees. I actually saw a person where their pants like this, back in high school, and the guy got excited, jumped in the air, then immediately fell when they landed because they stepped on their own pants. I can't say it didn't make me chuckle.

I don't know how or why guys can even walk with their pants down to their knees. This guys' butt and reproductive organs are above the belt line and unless he has suspenders under his T-shirt, I don't know what's keeping his jeans from being around his ankles. I just don't get why this is done. At least he's looking at belts.

I heard that it's a gay thing to symbolize that the wearer is ready for intercourse at any time. Is that right?
leetokofi 2 years ago
prison theory, probably wrong since most guys wouldn't wanna do that even if they are available. likely reason is that there are no belts allowed in most prisons and I doubt prison takes time to measure every inmates, so most have oversized pants that naturally hang low, guess they made it cool.

Is it slowly coming to the realization that pants around your knees are not an attractive fashion style?
Frank Russell 2 years ago
To y'all who think this looks cool: You do know that this originated in prison and is meant to say you're available for sex, right? Right? This look says, "Yeah, drill me, baby." Morons.

Just wants a new belt; notice the long piece of belt hanging down on left side of jeans.

Punk Santa Is Coming To Town
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.

They’re Multiplying… In Walmart
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

Seriously? On the upside they aren't desecrating anything or doing something dangerous just for likes
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.

This’ll Bring ‘Em In
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.

Woman With Walmart Tattoo Seen On A Flight

I hope she got paid for advertising. Unfortunately that's probably not the case. Just why, random lady? WHY?
#27
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.

Unfortunately the people of walmart have started trying new stores. At the department store I work at, we had a gentleman who came in and walked around with a large parrot on his shoulder. We are definitely not walmart!

I think I am a person of Walmart. Aussie’s don’t always wear shoes and I took my pet rabbit into KMart because he’d been to the vet, I needed to buy him a mat and I didn’t want to leave him in the car. Next I’ll be wearing hot pants

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.
