Give us your best "People Of Walmart" story!

A new blog People Of Walmart showcases the very "interesting" shoppers that are seen at Wal-Mart. I know you've all seen one person there that made you turn your head, so let's hear about it!

My story: I saw a distinguished man exit a limo and enter my local Wal-Mart, carrying a small dog in his over-sized purse.

I used to work at Wal-Mart and, yes, I have some stories. Here's one....

An older gentleman, well-dressed and well-spoken, walked up to the service desk (where you return stuff) and placed a white plastic Wal-Mart bag on the counter and said he needed to return this. I opened the bag and found a pile of white men's underwear (the whitey tighty kind) in the bag. No package, no receipt, just a bunch of underwear in a grocery bag. I proceeded to tell the man I wouldn't be able to refund his money because......well......first of all I had no idea what to charge him. Was this one package or two? What kind, what size? I had no way of knowing what to price the merchadise at. Due to turning him down right off the bat, I never even looked at the underwear. He got angry and had me call a manager. When the manager came up, I guess she figured it would cost us more in the long run to have an unhappy customer and told me to just do my best at figuring out the price and give him his money back.

At that point, I had to remove the underwear from the bag to count them and see what brand name they were. Upon removing the underwear one at a time, I noticed every one of them were stained yellow, as if he had worn them and urinated himself. I quickly placed them bakc in the bag, estimated the count, and used the first price I saw on a package of that many.

Here's another good one...

I also worked in the photo lab. I guess few people realize that in a small photo lab like the ones you see in Wal-Mart, all your pictures are seen as they are being printed. This one guy brought in a roll of film and, upon processing, they were pictures of his penis laid against a yardstick as if he were measuring himself.

Another lady took pictures of herself naked lying around with a bunch of German shepherds in very promiscuous positions.

O...M...G...
I worked years in retail at Macy's and only had to kick one tranny out of the lady's lingerie dressing room.
(I'm so glad you're not there anymore!)

Me too! I finally walked out when I found out the reason my very pretty slender female colleague (who even propositioned me one time) was getting all the good shifts was because she was a dominatrix on the side and my photo lab manager was a married bisexual man with a penchant for bondage, but had a prudish wife. I now have a great job and work half as hard and get paid twice as much.

Thanks for the memories.....but I'm glad it's over.

OMG! I forgot about this story! Check this out! We had a "Code Adam" come over the loud speaker, which is a lost child alert. At that point all employees (except cashiers of course) are supposed to stop what they are doing and look for this lost child. After about five minutes, the voice of a manager came over the loud speaker and said, "Cancel Code Adam. We have found the boy. We have him in toys by the balls." The entire store went quiet for a few seconds and then you could hear all the employees in all the various departments bust out laughing all at the same time. It was absolutely priceless!

I don't think I can compete with Samid. I'll make an attempt though.
My distant cousin and her mom both work full time at Wal-Mart. They are OBSESSED with how great Wal-mart is, and even though they both work there, they spend most of their time off shopping at the same Wal-Mart. They talk about Wal-mart. They post links and email everyone about Wal-mart. They refuse to go to any store other than Wal-Mart. It's actually disgusting. They'll likely find this link, just because it's about Wal-Mart. They post about how much they miss Wal-Mart online when it closes in the evening.
We live in South-Western Ontario, and over the summer, they both took Holidays, they roadtripped together from the Eastern cost of Lake Huron to the coast of the Atlantic in Newfoundland. They hit EVERY Wal-Mart along the way. Something like 60 Wal-marts. They both posted on their Facebook when they were nearing the next one, all full of excitement, and then posted to tell everyone how this Wal-Mart was as great as all the other Wal-Marts they'd been to, and they love Wal-Mart.
I'm pretty certain they're planning on doing the other half of the country next summer.
They have an equal obsession with Tim Hortons, and must go to every Tim Hortons they see, even if it's once every 30 minutes or less. The father/husband does not share the same passion, but my Grandparents have never went a day without going to Wal-Mart since the one in our town opened about 10 years ago.

Somewhere in our cellphone photo files, my husband and I have a photo of a very chunky old man on a HoverRound, taken in the dairy aisle at Walmart in Albuquerque, NM. His t-shirt proudly read (in bold print): “DO YOU WANT TO PARTY WITH CUPCAKE?”
And you know, we kind of did.
It is definitely one worth submitting.

AND ONE MORE-

Hand to God, not long ago at our WalMart Neighborhood Market in Henderson, NV., I saw a young lady in line buying Pringles and beer at around 5pm. She had on a VERY tight, VERY short skirt that covered her buttocks only enough to hide her va-jay jay in front. She was not wearing any panties, but to her credit, she did have on sheer black pantyhose.
The guy behind her in line clearly thought he won the lottery.

Obviously, our Southwestern states are not being fully represented on www.peopleofwalmart.com
Let’s get busy with those cell phone cameras, folks!

Ok here goes:
Redneck worker with mullet returning carts oblivious to giant bra in parking lot runs it over.

Overheard redneck lady who does not have an inside voice say "YALL GOT ELECTRIC MONOPOLY?"

Indignant white-trash teen girl to mom: "I'm buying two bags of fritos!"

Scary mouth breathing couple at check out arguing with cashier in front of me and my finacee, neither of us say anything until safe in the car. OMFG fiancee says what was wrong with those people!!

Shopping behind middle aged man who paused in the beverage aisle, then the smell of his fresh feces sucker punched us right in the face.

Morbidly obese white-trash family gets in argument with each other because there is only one powered wheel char left.

Chubby effeminate black teen boy with a unflattering tight shirt and super baggy pants with hundreds of zippers and chains back to school clothes shopping with his elderly white grandmother.

Last but not least... Rat-tail family.

This is not my video:

I myself may qualify as one of the more interesting shoppers at Walmart! Last year, I won one of the grand prizes in their "Money Saving Tips for Mom's contest." Only one other male entered the contest, as I recall. My entry was selected on the basis of creativity by the YouTube community. View my winning entry below.
