Random things overheard in Walmart
 

Last time I went.

"Be quiet or I will give you something to cry about"

Geezus, if someone actually said that to their kids out here (responsible parenting) they'd probably be arrested by 50 cops in riot gear and the kids would end up in foster care, probably in gangs within 12 months.

Last time I went to Wal-Mart I could only understand the employees at the cash register. No lie. I swear I was the only native English-speaker in there.

"don't buy that, I can prolly make you one with that stuff piled up on the back porch"

"My god this is cheap *****."

People at WM are soooooo FAT!!!

and fk U tooo.I lost weight!

Said that many a time... it works.

you ain't gettin' nothin'

Hey! hey! I go to friggin Walmart EVERY Tuesday night. Why? Besides being mentally ill? I drive 30 miles out to visit my 83 year old mother and she no longer drives (finally). My sisters take turns taking her to doctors aappointments, the pharmacy, etc. She buys certain things certain places and no oamount of talking nor offers to buy things FOR her will convince her it is easier to buy everything (well, most things) all in one place. She wants to go to Walmart everytime I see her. She wants to go to the same place for dinner EVERY time I see her.

The only thing easy about going with her is we get to use her handicapped parking placard so we can park close. Otherwise? Its a TOTAL PITA.:rolleyes:

the lead paint on the toys will shut the child up



barnes & noble in santa monica a few years ago. i listened to a mother have a screaming **** fit at her toddler. was hard to fully understand, but i think the woman hadn't made partner in the firm yet because the kid spilled her juice box on a display.

"wanna get whooped?"
Virginia walmart a few years back

My old man would have gotten the death penalty!:D

Mire a ese gringo estúpido. Él es muy feo. Mire el tamaño de su cabeza.

Standing in line years ago with my daughter who was three or four at the time. The cashier was a very large woman with lots of facial hair. My daughter yells to me "Hey daddy, look at the fat lady with the beard". Everyone in line looks at me. I felt terrible for the cashier, but it was really funny.

why, she should shave before going to work..I do.

My oldest son works at Wal-mart while finishing up college. He tells me all kinds of crazy crap that people do and say. Sorry I am coming up blank at the moment.

Paul you look in the mirror lately? Fat jokes hurt.

"Quit wrastlin' with your sister!'"

Honestly, I've had exactly the same low-class experiences at just about every Wal-Mart I've been to as you guys mention. But around here there are two Wal-Mart SuperCenters, equidistant from my house in opposite directions and every time I go to either of them, it's actually kind of pleasant. They're almost always nearly empty, I've heard nothing but native English all around me and even the kid working the ammo counter had some gun smarts. I know this is not the norm for Wal-Mart, but it's true around here - Anthem and Happy Valley locations. Two weeks ago I rode the bike to one and met a guy on an awesome 1150GS sitting out front, waiting for his wife to get done. They take the bike on shopping trips. Turns out he knew me from ADVrider.com. We chatted about 30 min. I swear, I really like going to Wal-Mart now.

Overheard a guy looking at cheap paintball guns: "Masks are for pu$$ie$."

We have two Wal Marts in town. One is about 5 years old, the other is maybe 15-20 years old.

In the 12 years I have lived here, they have remodeled the older Wal Mart 3 times--once every six years.

I don't understand anything said at Walmart, I can't speak Spanish.

Seee going to Walmart can be a pleasant experience.

"Let's head on over to the makeup aisle, you want your sister to look purty for ya, doncha"?

"Climb off me Dad your crushing my smokes"

I'm kidding. If I have to go to walmart, its actually pretty nice at 12:30.

Joe, sorry. You must be putting on the weight.

Overheard:

"BobbyJoe, for the last time, stop eating the wax out of your sister's ear!"

Our area is very nice, adjacent areas are some of the nicest in Wichita, with huge multi-million dollar homes. Drive a few miles W, and you're into one of the worst areas in town. The Wal Mart nearest to my home is also the nearest to the ghetto. We shop at Target.:D

Seriously though, it can be a bit scary. I'd never let my wife go at night, despite the old lady driving the Chevy Aveo around the lot with a yellow blinking light and the "Security" sticker.:rolleyes: Otherwise you get the usual joys: packed isles, people with no shoes, crowds of Mexicans speaking spanish, long lines, and no customer service. About the only reason I go is for auto stuff, like the cheap 5 qt bottles of Mobil 1. The next closest store is further from the ghetto, and much better (but still not nice).

if you didn't think that god has a sence of humor, just go to Wal Mart & watch the people

I must admit your Spanish is quite good!!!!

Como se dice "tamaño" en ingles?

About 7 years ago in the areas only Wal-Mart the next town North. I am standing in the checkout line with wife and kid and the couple behind us is arguing somewhat quietly, I paid no mind other than they seemed to be disagreeing and it was going downhill fast. Suddenly the guy says very loudly "Shut the F*ck up, B!tch or I will punch you in the face" my immediate reaction was to spin around and I just looked at him. I was half expecting everyone around me to get my back on this one, and I looked around and everyone was ignoring the situation.

I looked at my wife who was screaming at me with her eyes "NO!!" then I looked back at Mr. Tough guy who was now looking at me waiting for me to say something, I just turned back around.

My wife and I discussed this at length, if I had done anything at all, his wife g/f whatever she was, would get it worse at home later. She is the fool to stay with a jerk like that and there is nothing I could have done that night in a Wal-Mart to solve her problems. If anything, just make them worse for her.

It was a good five years after that little scene before I would step foot in one again.

Size.

How about we have a Spanglish forum here in PP. I volunteer for moderator :D

Uncle Daddy, can I pleeese have some candy?
