75 people at Walmart who seem to be living in their very own world

Walmart is an interesting place. Ever since its start, it’s been where people go to score a broad range of goods at low prices. But it’s also gained a reputation for drawing in some… interesting people, for lack of a better word. Even Walmart staff themselves has made jokes during cold weather encouraging people to wear two pairs of pajamas.

But it’s not all about people in various stages of undress. At Walmart, you’ll also see individuals in bizarre costumes and even with wild animals. Some store locations are open 24 hours a day, which means it attracts all the weird people who come out in the wee hours of the night. Then, of course, are the news headlines that make you think “That could only happen at Walmart.” Unsurprisingly, they usually involve the cops getting called.

But as much as we laugh at them, most of us still think that Walmart is a pretty handy place to go when needing some cough syrup at 11 o’clock at night or a couple of cheap notebooks. And whenever we hit the store, we keep one eye open for the weird, wacky, and wonderful people that we might just see there.

1. Ma’am, your child is stuck

Reddit Source: Reddit

The person who took this photo didn’t even notice there was a child in the cart until they heard a small voice saying, “Help me!” Yes, it’s funny, but it’s also a little sad.

2. What’s happening?

Reddit Source: Reddit

I understand that a deer got inside the store, but after that, I’m lost. Why was this man’s response choking it instead of calling Animal Control or gently leading it back into the parking lot? You could even use a literal carrot from the produce department to lure it out of the store.

3. If he’s not my baby, why is he in a stroller?

Reddit Source: Reddit

The officer is patiently explaining to this man that animals are not allowed in the store, except for service animals. The man does make a compelling argument, with his puppy neatly in his stroller and wearing a hat and glasses.

4. Classy

Reddit Source: Reddit

There’s nothing like proclaiming a porn habit loudly and proudly for everyone to see while you’re doing your shopping at a “family-friendly” store. To make it even better, he’s got all the details written in the fine print.

5. Why wear one Santa hat when you can wear four?

Reddit Source: Reddit

This guy doesn’t just make you wonder why he’s doing his shopping as Punk Santa, but how Punk Santa even came to be. I especially like the four tiny Santa hats.

6. What’s wrong with you?

Reddit Source: Reddit

There’s no question that 2019 has seen the rise of this hellish challenge. There’s nothing funny or entertaining about this. It’s putting people’s health at risk — and it’s just disgusting and illegal!

7. It’s a loophole

Reddit Source: Reddit

I don’t know what I should be most impressed by – the fact that she had the guts to demand this discount or the fact that she could eat half of an entire cake right there in the store.

8. Wizards need to shop, too

Reddit Source: Reddit

You see a man wearing a silly cloak; I see a hardworking wizard who wants to get affordable prices on home goods and groceries.

9. That’s one way to save on a venue

Reddit Source: Reddit

I get the desire for a cheap wedding venue, but there are approximately a million better places to get married than Walmart if you’re looking to save a dime. What about a park, a campsite, or even your backyard?

10. At least he’s wearing socks

Reddit Source: Reddit

It appears the employee is negotiating with this man to get him to cover himself up, but he’s not TECHNICALLY naked. He’s wearing socks, which might be a legal loophole for all we know.

11. When a nap strikes

Reddit Source: Reddit

Many, if not all Walmart locations, are open 24 hours a day. That means you can run to the store in the middle of the night for an emergency purchase. It also means that you might see something like this in the store at 3 a.m.

12. Are they returning it?

Reddit Source: Reddit

That’s quite the outfit to wear when returning products. The only logical conclusion is that they’re wearing it to show it doesn’t fit right and they deserve a refund.

13. It’s naptime

Reddit Source: Reddit

When your child is so old their face drags on the floor as they ride in the cart, it’s time to tell them to walk. Maybe these two women are so tired of him nagging about walking that they don’t care if his face is on the floor.

14. Please wear…more clothes than that

Reddit Source: Reddit

These two have gone down in history as some of the most extreme outfits to have ever appeared at Walmart. Reportedly, they didn’t agree it was inappropriate to do their shopping in tighty-whities and a bikini.

15. That – Oh, that’s just my lemur

Reddit Source: Reddit

The People of Walmart are known not just for appearing in interesting outfits, but also for bringing a variety of animal friends along on their shopping trips. Like this man, who thought nothing of strolling down the aisles with a lemur on his head.

16. A tragedy

Reddit Source: Reddit

On occasion, Walmart is also a place for bored people to go and mess around. For example, you could put on animal masks and go stage a tragic tableau in the meat section.

17. Those were my good seeing eyes

Reddit Source: Reddit

I don’t know what’s happening here, and I don’t want to know. Did this man say, “Time to grab my grandson and my sexy doll to go do my grocery shopping”?

18. At least it’s on a leash

Reddit Source: Reddit

If you absolutely must go shopping with your duck, please be considerate of others and put it on a leash. Also, why on Earth do you have a duck on a leash?

19. Back when PokemonGo was big

Reddit Source: Reddit

Not all the things you see at Walmart are bad! One person spotted this adorable cosplay. There is no telling what they were buying, but the outfit is just too cute!

20. I have a lot of questions

Reddit Source: Reddit

This artist made it their mission to find and draw as many interesting Walmart inhabitants as they can. Here’s their rendition of this man, doing …whatever it is that he does.

21. When it’s laundry day but you’ve got to do your shopping

Reddit Source: Reddit

That man appears to be wearing one of those giant Sumo suit Halloween costumes. The best thing about the picture is how casually he’s browsing, as though he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans.

22. Just camping out on the apples

Reddit Source: Reddit

Many older people say that the modern world has lost its grasp on etiquette. That might be true, but I’m pretty sure most people know not to sit on the apples that other people are going to buy.

23. Gonna throw my chainmail on and go to the store

Reddit Source: Reddit

This is the sort of thing you might see at a Renaissance fair. Of course, the Renaissance fair probably wouldn’t include khakis or a glimpse of a bare butt.

24. That’s one way to do it

Reddit Source: Reddit

If you’re single and looking for a relationship, you can try online dating, go to singles’ events, or sign up for a dating service. Or, if you’re this guy, you can turn your shirt into a billboard and hope for the best.

25. Want some ash on your fries?

Reddit Source: Reddit

This is an employee of Walmart, not a customer. His actions are 100 percent not okay. It’s a huge health risk, it’s unsanitary, and it can ruin food — but amazingly, none of the people around him seem to care.

26. Well, how else are you supposed to carry your goat?

Reddit Source: Reddit

This woman has her shopping trip all planned out: she’s got her cash, shopping list, her goat, and of course, she’s got the baby carrier for the goat.

27. You can wear the ankle monitor or OWN the ankle monitor

Reddit Source: Reddit

Some people are embarrassed by getting an ankle monitor, which happens after a run-in with the law. But not this lady. She’s taken the time to bedazzle it a little just to make it more eye-catching.

28. Who needs a scooter?

Reddit Source: Reddit

Clearly, this man was looking for an option that was somewhere between walking with a cart and riding an electric one. He settled on this third more dangerous option that involves a unicycle.

29. More than one couple has done this

Reddit Source: Reddit

Okay, since they’re pushing a shopping cart, we’re going to assume they’re not actually getting married at this moment. But still, how many brides really go to Walmart in their wedding dresses?

30. A wizard is never late with his shopping, nor is he early

Reddit Source: Reddit

He buys his groceries right when he means to, of course. The good news is that Gandalf got all the things on his list and even scored a couple of deals in the process.

31. Even satyrs can find great deals

Reddit Source: Reddit

Here’s the real question: does Walmart stock the pants he needs? What about hoof-friendly shoes and socks? They say you can pretty much find anything there, but this guy might be a challenge.

32. It’s a therapy alligator

Reddit Source: Reddit

Apparently, this man owns an alligator, which he’s walking on a leash to go get his shopping done. And of course, he is, because every responsible alligator owner knows you need to put them on a leash!

33. When a Transformer needs cough medicine

Reddit Source: Reddit

The look on this man’s face says it all: none of us have any idea what’s going on here. The only reasonable response is that maybe it was Halloween — but something tells me that’s not the case.

34. We don’t have time to unpack ALL of that

Reddit Source: Reddit

This headline is a wild ride from start to finish. This mother-son-dog triple act made headlines for being, quite possibly, the most Walmart trio to ever live. The son also tried to run over an officer with a scooter.

35. It’s like he’s not even there!

Reddit Source: Reddit

This cashier is remarkably calm, considering that she’s checking out a floating head. Then again, she works at Walmart. Suffice it to say, she’s probably seen weirder things.

36. “Don’t forget to buy lots of nuts”

Reddit Source: Reddit

What is it about people coming into Walmart with wild animals? While most of them seem to know to keep their them tethered, this squirrel is free and happy on his perch.

37. When you can’t be bothered to put a WHOLE T-shirt on

Reddit Source: Reddit

At what point does a T-shirt cease to be a T-shirt? That’s what this individual wanted to know when they did their shopping in a shirt that was more hole than fabric.

38. On the other end of the spectrum…

Reddit Source: Reddit

And then there’s this man, dressed head to toe in dominatrix-style leather, complete with thigh-high stilettos. Even a dominatrix needs to do their Christmas shopping!

39. Wait, so how does he feel about the Second Amendment?

Reddit Source: Reddit

Count them: this man has three, yes, three guns on his person. One on each hip and one on the back — and one on his shirt. I don’t know what he’s preparing for, but whatever it is, he’s ready.

40. Ma’am, stop! You’re defrosting the cheese!

Reddit Source: Reddit

Obviously, there’s more than one person who thought it was okay to rest on grocery items. That freezer may look like a bench, but please don’t sit there!

41. Always look your best

Reddit Source: Reddit

Some people dress down at Walmart, even doing their shopping in a bathing suit or underwear. But not this dapper fellow. He’ll wear his cherry red tails with pride.

42. Please…don’t

Reddit Source: Reddit

This is so wrong on every level. Don’t touch your significant other like this in public. No one else wants to watch you express your affection. And it’s so unsanitary.

43. Pretty direct

Reddit Source: Reddit

So much for T-shirts with clever witticisms or veiled double entenders. This guy is going straight for the punchline. Unsurprisingly, it’s not a very good punchline. It’s just a couple of anatomical words.

44. When you remember you don’t like zucchini

Reddit Source: Reddit

Let’s see: someone picked up a zucchini off the shelf, then ate it raw as they were walking through the store, then decided they didn’t like it and put it back. What’s so unusual here?

45. Double the cats

Reddit Source: Reddit

Move over, Walmart shoppers with pets. This lady is leaving you all behind. She has not one, but two cats riding on her shoulders as she hits the shelves.

46. At least they shop as a family

Reddit Source: Reddit

You might have questions for the Smurf family as you see them strolling through Walmart, but the answer ultimately boils down to the fact that they want some cheap groceries, okay?

47. You missed a couple of buttons

Reddit Source: Reddit

This man isn’t ashamed of wearing a bra. On the contrary, he’s left his shirt wide open so everyone can see. He does, at least, have good taste in lingerie.

48. Yuck, why would you do that?

Reddit Source: Reddit

Eating a couple of grapes off the bunch to test for freshness is one thing. It’s another disgusting thing entirely to eat a meal of fried chicken and then deposit it on a shelf. Is it that hard to find a trash can?

49. Lewis and Clark stopping for provisions

Reddit Source: Reddit

What’s fascinating about this one is not only that they’re dressed as if heading out on the Oregon Trail but also, they’re completely coordinated. It seems they’re in some deep discussion over those crescent rolls.

50. They tie her outfit together beautifully

Reddit Source: Reddit

There are tall heels and then there are heels like this. They would be extreme at a club, much less at Walmart.

51. You don’t need to wear a romper if you have extra-large pants

Reddit Source: Reddit

Rompers are in these days but this lady is way ahead of the curve. She doesn’t need to spend money on any new clothes. Instead, she’s repurposed an old pair of pajama pants and hiked them up high.

52. “Mother, help me”

Reddit Source: Reddit

If your child is riding in the cart, maybe you shouldn’t stack your groceries like this. If you need to purchase all this stuff, maybe you shouldn’t let your kid ride in the cart. You can’t have it both ways.

53. Where were you changing your baby?

Reddit Source: Reddit

This is disgusting and horrible, but you do have to wonder where was this person changing their baby? Did they carry this disgusting diaper out of the bathroom? Did they change their baby on the floor?

54. Not a person you want to engage

Reddit Source: Reddit

This is a person who’s proclaiming their personal beliefs very loudly. And we’re guessing they’re probably not the easiest person to talk to, especially when it comes to certain topics.

55. That is a pest

Reddit Source: Reddit

It’s bad enough to bring a house pet into the store with you, but a raccoon is a legitimate pest. Considering the diseases this animal carries, it’s a legitimate health hazard.

56. Sir, your thong is showing

Reddit Source: Reddit

This man not only forgot to put his belt on, but he’s flashing a glimpse of a bright pink thong. At least it seems to fit him well!

57. That’s quite the contrast

Reddit Source: Reddit

Sometimes, it’s not just individuals who make their way into the Walmart People Hall of Fame, but dynamic duos like this one. They seem to be channeling a Sith Lord/Golden Girl aesthetic.

58. Is this the best way to do that?

Reddit Source: Reddit

This lady didn’t want to kneel on the hard floor while she looked at her bread options. So, her solution was to kneel on some rolls…which she then left on the floor.

59. Um, no thank you

Reddit Source: Reddit

This colorful vehicle was spotted in the parking lot of a Walmart store. Someone thought this one-liner was witty enough to paint it on the back of the van. Others…disagree.

60. He said he was an “undercover shopper”

Reddit Source: Reddit

This man was creeping behind racks of clothes, making people nervous. When he was intercepted by security, he claimed he was an “undercover shopper.”

61. Ruining a childhood

Reddit Source: Reddit

There’s nothing like a cartoon T-shirt! But this one is depicting two beloved classic cartoon characters spanking one another. That’ll ruin your childhood memories for sure.

62. Always be ready

Reddit Source: Reddit

This person thinks that buying toilet paper is such a dangerous pursuit they need to bring a lethal assault weapon along with them. I wonder what they’re expecting to find.

63. “The sign says, ‘No shirt, no shoes”

Reddit Source: Reddit

You’ll notice that it doesn’t say anything about pants. It also doesn’t say anything explicitly forbidding tiny red Speedos, so technically, this guy is in the clear.

64. No answers were given that day

Reddit Source: Reddit

This is quite the getup for any situation, but it’s an especially interesting choice for doing your grocery shopping. The hose and sneakers are a nice choice, too.

65. I’m watching you

Reddit Source: Reddit

Animal prints come and go out of fashion, but tiger eyes peering through the back of your pants? Those are a great choice any time, place, or day.

66. Who ya gonna call?

Reddit Source: Reddit

You might think this was seen around Halloween, but you’d be wrong! The gang of Ghostbusters is also wearing Santa hats, making this is a show of holiday cheer.

67. Is this really the best place?

Reddit Source: Reddit

Tere are about 100 places where you can sunbathe, even if you don’t live near the beach. A park, a pool, or your backyard are all better than the Walmart parking lot.

68. A time-traveling clown came to shop

Reddit Source: Reddit

This lady looks like she walked straight out of the cast of “Godspell.” Vintage outfits are all in these days, but this isn’t what most people go for.

69. Grandpa is a pretty lady

Reddit Source: Reddit

We’ll say one thing about this man — he looks like he knows exactly what we all think of his shirt and he still thinks it’s hilarious. The khaki shorts really tie the whole outfit together.

70. Who…what…WHY

Reddit Source: Reddit

I can’t decide which part of this grosses me out the most — that someone peeled and ate a raw ear of corn or that they left it on a shelf where anyone else could touch it.

71. Interesting fashion choices

Reddit Source: Reddit

You know the old saying — when you need to go grocery shopping, it’s time to throw on your floral crop top and your cut-off shorts. Make sure nothing fits, either.

72. It’s not just American Walmart

Reddit Source: Reddit

Walmart operates in several countries throughout the world. This bizarre sight was seen at a store in Mexico. And yes, that’s a cock-fighting ring.

73. It’s real fur

Reddit Source: Reddit

This one might be weird, but it’s also incredibly sweet. This little guy looks so happy swaddled in his perch. Of course, he’s also surrounded by more fur of the fake variety.

74. Oh, um…

Reddit Source: Reddit

I’m not even sure what I’m supposed to say about this. I guess some people find this funny, but it’s so cringeworthy.

75. It’s a bird

Reddit Source: Reddit

Imagine looking down the end of the aisle and seeing this guy fly past you. It’s hard not to smile at this one since he’s having so much fun.

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
