Saw This Guy Pull Out His Setup While His Wife Went In To Shop
Michael Largey 1 week ago
Many women's dress shops have "husband chairs" just inside the store. Always very comfortable.

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.

I was SO happy when mobiles became affordable and both my wife and I each got one. It instantly took out all the pain (on both sides) of shopping expeditions.

Service Cat??
Paul C. 1 week ago (edited)
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!

They all tend to do that at first. The only way I got my cat over it was to actually take her outside and put her in the grass. She figured it out after that.

Perfectly acceptable. The pizza slices do not have pineapple on them
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.

Genuine question: what's with the pets in a food store? Here in the UK unless you have an assistance/guide dog, no pets. Is it a US thing?

Walmart is pretty lenient. You're allowed to bring "service animals." In the United States it is illegal to ask what a service animal is for. So many places just let any animal in. Don't want an ADA lawsuit.

Not Sure What To Say …
Ozymandias73 1 week ago
Now if there was a guy that resembled Peter Griffin nearby that would've been epic!
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.

Can You Spot The Difference LOL
Lotekguy 1 week ago
Do you mean the one that says Ultra? The rest are just normal.
Load More Replies...
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.

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.
UnclePanda 1 week ago (edited)
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.

For a lot of people, if these huge stores had benches to sit and rest on for a few minutes the scooters wouldn't be needed as much. I can stand/walk for five (or maybe ten minutes on a good day) but more than that puts me in debilitating pain for days. Having a bench to rest on would be a blessing because it would allow a rest period and extend my walking time. I can't count the number of times I've sat on toilet paper, dog food bags, edges of shelving or anything else to support me for a few minutes because an item I needed was at the back of the store and none of the buggies were available. To those who are negative and judging the users of buggies, I hope you never get an injury or illness that forces you to need assistance. Or wait, maybe I do hope you end up needing one some day and suffer as much pain as I do every day.

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.

Oh my god. They threw some expired ham out at work. I think it was a 2kg sealed bag that feel down the back of the fridge (the fridge being about the size of an average living room). The bag was bulging like an overinflated balloon, and the stock girls handled it *very* carefully because nobody wanted it to burst on *them*. It was from mid-November, so about a month. That this product still looks correct after three years is...mind-boggling. 🤮 Is that actual meat or just a meat-shaped chemical cocktail?
