70 People You Will Only Encounter At Walmart

Why is it that people do such strange things at Walmart?

Are they so comfortable in the big box store that they feel like they can treat it as their home (by making messes and being underdressed, for example)?

All sorts of people shop there, so there’s no one way to classify a “Walmart shopper.” But the store seems to attract the weirder among at much higher rates than other places.

We can’t explain it, but we can show you what we mean with these 70 mind-boggling photos of Walmart customers:

#1 Special day

There has to be a backstory to this. Maybe they met in the produce aisle.

At least it looks like there are some cookies behind them for the reception.

#2 No shirt, no service?

We’re not sure exactly how this shirt works, but it’s usually the case that it covers your back and goes around your neck.

One question, where the the opening for her head? On the front?!

#3 Stocking up

When you need to stay safe but still need to stock up, what do you do? Bring your own storage container, of course.

#4 Do not place over head

It should go without saying that this is no substitute for a mask.

It’s also common sense not to put a plastic bag on your head, but some people just seem to have missed that day of kindergarten.

#5 Walmart style

She just wanted to get her hair done. Now, she’s viral. Watch what you wear!

#6 Taking a break

As kids, many of us have climbed into the cart when our parents were shopping. Some of us forgot to grow out of the habit.

#7 50 items or less

That moment when you’re taking selfies of yourself bringing an entire cart full of food through the 10 items of less checkout. Oops.

#8 Pimpin’

Who said a trip to Walmart couldn’t be done in style? Not this guy. He’s creating his own brand.

#9 All for show

Some people buy masks and toilet paper because they worry about COVID-19. Some just do it for show. We wonder which category this guy is in….

#10 Service cat

This cat seems very determined to guard his human. The human, however, can’t even seem to focus on the task at hand – shopping.

#11 A little help

Finding an employee can be a pain. Why not just lift up a family member to reach something instead?

#12 Proper attire

From what we have learned, dressing a little strange is a requirement for going to Walmart. This guy is ready.

#13 “Luke, I am your father”

When the coronavirus pandemic started, most people weren’t prepared. However, they still needed to go shopping at Walmart. Here was one solution.

#14 Towel poncho

It’s easy to miss at first because of the way it blends in with the outfit so seamlessly. However, that is clearly a towel.

#15 Traffic cone

It is rumored that inanimate objects cannot catch the coronavirus. We think she is safe.

#16 Nice hat

We have to appreciate the Walmart fashion show. After a while, it might actually start to grow on you.

#17 Classic Walmart

When it comes to “no shoes, no shirt, no service” – we have a question. Do overalls count as a shirt?

#18 A quick nap

Waiting for someone to finish shopping can get boring. Here’s how to fix that.

#19 Polly wants to shop

Spotting animals at Walmart isn’t all that rare. There are a lot of service animals out there. There is also this parrot. At least he seems well behaved.

Here’s some more DIY coronavirus protection. Do you think it will save him?

What do you do when you need toilet paper, but there are germs everywhere? It’s finally time to dust off the old spacesuit!

Sharing is caring. Right? Right??

#23 Free ride

Walking around Walmart can get tiring. This is not the solution.

We’re hoping this was done on a dare. What’s your guess?

#25 In any weather

They are fully protected. The Rona won’t be raining on their parade.

#26 Just kidding

Did you know that a baby goat is called a kid? Maybe there was some confusion when they bought the carrier. “For smaller kids” might not have meant what they thought it meant.

#27All dressed up with nowhere to go

Sometimes, you think you have put together the perfect outfit and just need to show it off. Sometimes, you would be wrong.

#28 Watch your back

The thing about pictures taken in Walmart is that they are almost always of people’s backs. Don’t just look at your front before heading for Walmart. Check the back too, or you might end up going viral.

#29 Partying it up at Walmart

People stop at Walmart on their way to and from all sorts of events. Who wants to guess where they were headed?

#30 Use your noodle

This man does not need nor want the coronavirus. He knows how to do social distancing.

#31 No parking

This woman goes to Walmart regularly but does not trust anyone enough to park her bike outside. At least it doesn’t take up more space than a cart of two.

#32 Waiting it out

When this man’s wife went into Walmart, he had other plans. He made himself comfortable outside. Good thinking!

#33 Nap time

Shopping can be exhausting. Always wear your pajamas and be prepared for a quick nap.

#34 Not Walmart enough

Walmart is full of pants that are sagging a little too much and showing way too much. This woman has a solution to that. Nothing will be seen on this day.

#35 Max protection

DIY masks come in a variety of materials. Most of us at least hide those materials between two layers of cloth. Most of us…

#36 Blue man

We have to wonder if there are people who shop at Walmart just to be seen. Were they anticipating the paparazzi?

#37 Walmart ready

A butt crack has, unfortunately, become the unwanted symbol of Walmart. Now, it might be working its way up to the employees.

#38 Which way to the elf world?

You meet many people at Walmart. Some of them may be able to help you pass to other realms.

#39 We don’t know

Is she dancing? Is she stretching? Is she shopping with her toes? So many questions – so few answers.

#40 Because it’s Walmart

We don’t know why belts fail the moment one enters Walmart. We’re pretty sure most Walmart stores actually sell belts. It’s a phenomenon that cannot be explained.

#41 Along for the ride

Kids will be kids. This one, however, has dreams of becoming a mop.
