Saw This Guy Pull Out His Setup While His Wife Went In To Shop
SheHulk 1 hour ago
My feeling, after a lovely lunch with friends and somebody says "let's go check out the local outlet store", and I am forced to go because they are my ride home. I now know the despair of the toddler! Made to endure the terrible t*****e of being led through seemingly endless aisles of shelves, stocked with stuff that I have no interest in. We live in the countryside, so no taxis, btw.

Service Cat??

When we moved to a new property, we thought it would be a good idea to "walk" our little furry kn0b around the garden. She decided that we were idiots and went completely limp on the floor. We felt it wouldn't look good dragging our furball around like a sack of spuds!

Load More Replies...The first question that pops up when you see these strange and funny moments during a simple shopping trip is: why?
Because Walmart is not just your run-of-the-mill grocery store.
Being among the world’s largest companies by revenue, it is also the largest private employer. It currently operates more than 10,000 stores across different countries and employs millions of people worldwide.
With that kind of scale, it’s no wonder you might see something strange every now and then if this is your go-to shopping hub.

Walmart stores are also highly accessible — with stores spread across rural and urban areas of the US. Its affordable everyday products also attract people from different income groups.
Many stores also stay open for long hours, some even 24/7, so there is a high chance you might spot customers shopping in their pajamas or other comfortable or even quirky outfits.
As seen through these posts, some regulars can also be spotted shopping with their pets in the carts or bringing their bikes inside the store, if the staff lets them.

For those who’ve never been to a Walmart, it’s worth pointing out just how huge these stores can be — some locations are even bigger than your typical American supermarket.
This means that there is plenty of space for things to get misplaced or for random situations happening around the stores — for example someone noticing old food left in one corner for who knows how long, or finding snacks mysteriously scattered in the jeans aisle.
One can imagine that it must take a lot of time and effort from the employees to handle these kinds of surprises on the fly.
These huge stores also give customers lots of space to explore different aisles at their own pace and a lower chance of bumping into someone they know, part of the reason why people feel more comfortable wearing what they want, and do not feel judged.

I Almost Pissed Myself Laughing. Sorry It's Not A Close Up
joann fielding 2 hours ago
Masks were a little hard to come by in the very first days of the pandemic. Remember people cutting up their bras and wearing them? At least an effort was made, but I'm a little concerned about her breathing in there.
Spittnimage 34 minutes ago
That was a while back. Look at the produce prices in the background.
According to Walmart’s own estimates, around 90% of Americans live within 10 miles of one of their stores, which goes to show just how widespread and accessible the supermarket really is.
But then again, simply being the largest or closest store doesn’t automatically explain why you might spot a pet chicken chilling in a cart or a shopper boldly wearing pizza‑printed pants.
Unlike a shopping mall or an upscale boutique, this supermarket does not market itself as a style‑focused destination. You won’t see any glossy ads by Walmart on TV pushing trendiness or high fashion.
Instead, its marketing has long focused on value and convenience, with slogans like “Save Money. Live Better.”
This can be another reason why shoppers don’t feel the need to follow some unspoken rules or dress codes.

I sometimes put screwdrivers or other pointy objects in my back pocket. It shouldn't even take conscious thought to realize you should put the pointy end down. There's still a small chance of being penetrated if you fall down, but vastly less chance of stabbing yourself in one of your really important organs.

Whatever the reasons, it’s clear that Walmart has captured a global fanbase.
The “People of Walmart” trend once had its own website featuring user-submitted photos of quirky or awkward shoppers. Even though the website itself has gone offline, fans continue to share their funniest Walmart moments on other social media pages such as on Reddit, Facebook and TikTok. And we just can’t get enough of it.

My mother used to use the scooters. She could walk if she had to but was at great risk of passing out at any moment, which she did frequently. But I guess that’s not a good enough reason to some people. How about minding your business.

I had to use one of those when I had a broken leg, and it was a godsend. But the first thing I managed to do was hook a 6x8' cookie table and drag it about 10 feet. And then I couldn't put it back, so I 'beat a hasty retreat' into the freezer section, leaning forward and 'gunning it' as if I was running with the wind.

I'm sure some people would need to call 911 (or 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 if you're in the UK), but if you managed to get to the store and into the cart you can probably make it back out if the cart dies.
