Like I said. This is not possible if I'm there too (it was a riddle).

The only time it's tolerable is when i visit at 6 am, normally to pick up oil for a weekend project.

One observation though, it's amazing the differences between the stores. We have a wal-mart within one block of our home. We live in a very nice neighborhood, with even nicer adjacent neighborhoods ($1m+). Unfortunately, it's still the closest wm to what passes for the wichita ghetto. At times our store is an odd mixture of south central la and tennessee trailer park. However, other stores that are safely located in the midst of middle class neighborhoods are oddly pleasant. No children being beaten, everyone's pants are safely secured above their asses, and no groups blocking entire aisles while speaking spanish. On the upside, with wal-mart attracting the "interesting" folks like moths to a flame, our target is quite nice.:d

My local WM isn't too bad. College town so there are usually a few hotties. The trash is usually out numbered. I have been in some bad ones though...

On a serious note I guess this is a social economic issue. Behavior and such.

Did anyone read the "About Me" page?

About The People of Walmart

People of Walmart was founded in August of 2009 by three friends and roommates after an inspirational trip to WalMart.

Let’s face it; we all have seen the people who obviously don’t have mirrors and/or family and friends to lock them in a basement, and they all seem to congregate at Walmart. It’s not everywhere that you can shop for milk at 10 a.m. next to a 400lb mother of 6 wearing a pink tube top, leopard tights, and hooker heels. Where else can one go to pick up underwear at 3 O’clock in the afternoon and spot the greatest mullet of all time paired with a mustard stained wife beater (which only accents the extreme amount of body hair) and camo pants that were actually used in Vietnam. And if you haven’t ran into the 6’2” bull-dyke with a shaved head, rockin a wonder bra, flannel cutoff shirt, and jean shorts at 2 a.m. when you’re there to pick up frozen pizza, Doritos, and Chips Ahoy cookies, then you can get the f*#k out right now.

This is purely for entertainment purposes and strictly limited to the outrageously bad/ugly/creepy/crazy shoppers. We don’t need to see pictures of you and your dumb friends dicking around at Walmart. There is no reason to send us pictures of people that are seriously and unfortunately handicapped so don’t be an a#*hole. We are trying to have some fun here and there is a difference between someone who is mentally challenged and a person who has a fu Manchu and is still rocking MC Hammer pants.

We would also like to stress that we are in no way liable if you get your arse beat by Bubba when he catches you taking his picture. Have fun, and Enjoy!

This one is from the Wally world we used to go to all the time....

That Hotwheels Helo with the spelling error might be worth something

I can tell you guys must all be big city-yankees types. So here's a little tip to help you fit in at your local store. It's pronounced wal MARTS, accent on the second syllable, but just slightly more than the first.

There is no"S" in WalMart or Kmart. "I'm going to run down to Kmarts".

We know there's no "S" in the names of the Mart stores, but the people our man in Arkansas is referring to don't care. They've inserted one there and pronounce it just like he said.

They're also the dummies that get the direction they travel to go somewhere wrong. Like a person in Michigan that would say, "We went up to Florida for vacation. While we was there we stopped at WalMarts."

I hate it when people do that. "I went down to New York," etc. when the person traveled North from Georgia to get there.
To me that's travelling Up (North) to NY.
Like our man from Michigan that's gone to Florida has travelled Down (South) to Florida.

I know I'm not perfect, I make plenty of mistakes with the King's English... heck fire, being raised in Alabama I'm surprised I don't say "WalMarts," but come on people, get the direction right!

OK. It's late. I'll get off my soap box and hush.

[Crowbob]

First time I went to WalMarts, I told my girlfriend we better get outta here before our teeth fall out.

Holy crap!!! That bugs me as well. Look at a freakin' map, people!!!!

You Wal Mart(s) bashers are always amusing.

Another very amusing aspect of all those people in those photographs ...they have MONEY TO SPEND. ( gasp!)

I have never actually calculated the exact amount of money Wal Mart stock has made for us. It helped put my wife through nursing school and pay for our first home. I have traded that stock (bough/sold) for...it must be over thirty years now. I still own some and probably always will.

So yes - I am laughing along with all of you ...all the way to the bank!

Hey!

I knew I wasn't the Only one that hated that crap!!!! But I'm afraid a map would only confuse them!

And many of these same people, when they want to say the word Only, like I just used above, they instead say something that sounds like "Onless."

What's that?

As in, "Bubba Earl's the 'Onless' one of us not married to his cousin/sister/mother?"

WFT?

Well, with all due respect to you and your stock certificates I don't really believe you when you say you've "never really calculated the exact amount of money Wal-Mart stock has made for us" (you use the hyphen here because we're referring to the corporation, not an individual store, as per AP style now) because it wouldn't make sense that anyone wouldn't know how much money they're making or have made on any investment.

However...

Should this actually be the case with you I congratulate you on making more money than you need or have to worry about and humbly request you send a bailout, er, Stimulus Package my way so I can afford to go congregate with the great masses of the unwashed in the stores that have helped to make you so stinking rich!

Should I look for my check anytime soon?

There's some $5.97 bargain I just can't live without that can't be bought Anywhere else!!!!

[johnco]

you'll probably never get to buy that $5.95 bargin you can't live without. the second you walk into Walmart... crowds will line up to gawk and ask for your autograph while dumbfounded by your supreme awesomeness, superior intellect and god-like stature. or maybe you'll just look like an average Walmart shopper and no one will notice you. if you can get in and out fast enough.. no one will take your photo and submit it to the People of Walmart site

[masraum]

Handgun ammunition is cheapest at Walmart right now. I dare you to find target ammo anywhere cheaper than Walmart. If/when you do find it cheaper, let me know where so I can go there.

It's also a great place to buy Mobil 1 Synthetic oil.

I still hate to go there. I try to get in and out as quickly as possible.

LOL!

First, there are no $5.95 bargains... only prices ending in .97 are allowed there.
Secondly, in the past year I've been in a Walmart maybe three times. At least two too many.
But when I do have to strike out on that adventure I'm usually in disguise, so I doubt anyone will recognize my "supreme awesomeness, superior intellect and god-like stature." But thank You for noticing!
