I worked at a Walmart over the summer, and I can say that I have honestly seen each and every one of these (with the exception of beer/diapers because we don’t sell alcohol in our stores here in PA).
The best story: this fairly large woman with frizzy hair and no teeth came through my line with no bra and her boobs so low that they were pulling her stained spaghetti-strap shirt down causing her dinner plate sized nipples to hang out. I really didn’t know what to do, so I just ignored it until she left. The other cashiers later patted me on the back and praised me because they wouldn’t have been able to handle it. It’s a memory that will never leave me.
it was the whole ‘slave’ type labor in china that totally ended it for me.. along with the whole ‘you need to finish this before you leave but you cant have overtime’ bull shit. *high five* Puulaahi
I’d never even heard of Walmart before I moved from NYC to Maryland. I didn’t know there could be worse than Kmart. At least the cashiers are faster. I just don’t understand the concept of buying a lot of cheap stuff is better than carefully choosing fewer more expensive items that will last through the years.

@...nyokki: Ah yes I agree. Though it really depends on what you’re buying. Some things you can buy really cheap and you’ll save money because you won’t need them for very long any way. Like socks or whatever.
Some of the dumbest people I have ever met, were those who bought things like calvinklein socks. What the hell!
@...dieAntagonista: I’m not sure you understand just how cheap (in quality) Walmart clothes can be. There’s a reason a pair of jeans is $10 there. If I go to a Walmart, it’s generally in the summer for bbq season. It is good for things like paper plates, plastic utensils, anything you’re going to use once and throw away.
Jeans are Jeans. They are made from thick Cotton, and besides jeans are work cloths, I don’t want to pay $50 for something I am going to get dirty, greasy, whatever.
@...RPTM6: It’s interesting that you say that. They just built a new super Walmart ~7 miles away from another one. I realize it’s newer, but I noticed that it carried different brands and was more expensive. The old one is in a not-so-great (but not bad)area and the new one is in a much more affluent area. I had wondered if it made a difference and I think your comment affirms it.
oh man i’m soooooooo doing this. TRASH FTW!!!!
hahahahaha
I used to work at wal-mart. I can honestly say I have seen ALL of this.
Man, I don’t know why you people don’t think rat tails are the shit. Because rat tails are THE SHIT
This is why Walmart is great. To contain and isolate these people, so the rest of us can go about our lives in peace.
lawl. So glad there are no Wal-Marts in NYC.
TOO BAD THERE ARE! (the first listing is a corporate office, though)
@...RSIxidor: All of those, except the corporate office, are in New Jersey.
Why that sounds spectacular. I can’t wait to see a real wal-mart.
This is so correct, it hurts.
In San Jose, CA… going to Wal-Mart is like going to Tijuana.
Damn, Obama’s grandmother just died a couple of minutes ago. Just ONE day before the big day!
I know this has nothing to do with Wal-Mart, but I felt like sharing it…
They forgot “someone who doesn’t know how to spell clothes”
@...yawn: 🙁
@...yawn: Yeah I just heard about it.

Wal Mart is evil.
RIP Obama’s Grandmother. 🙁
any one ever see that documentary called ‘walmart-the high price of low cost’ (or somethin like that) …. i dont shop there anymore
@...kezia347: That is exactly why I call Walmart evil.

Completely killed rural mom and pops.

I’d not by a suit there.

Not to mention “someone who doesn’t know the difference between ‘aisle’ and ‘isle’ “
@...nyokki: I see. Yes well I would never buy things like jeans from a store like that. Walmart must be shittier than I thought.
@...Puulaahi: Pretty intense.
i bet i cant find 5 of these at the walmart by me. it is in a very affluent, white city. it is very clean and the people that shop there are as well
