Walmart is known for its vast range of low-priced goods and a peculiar customer base. Staff sometimes humorously advise wearing extra layers in cold weather. Beyond people in quirky attire or with exotic pets, Walmart’s 24-hour stores attract an eclectic crowd, especially late at night. Often, bizarre events at Walmart end up in the news, typically involving police. Despite the oddities, many find Walmart convenient for late-night essentials or affordable supplies, all while keeping an eye out for the unusual characters one might encounter.
It’s a bird!
Imagine looking down the end of the aisle and seeing this guy fly past you. Itâs hard not to smile at this one since heâs having so much fun.
Thereâs nothing like proclaiming a porn habit loudly and proudly for everyone to see while youâre doing your shopping at a âfamily-friendlyâ store. To make it even better, heâs got all the details written in the fine print.
This guy doesnât just make you wonder why heâs doing his shopping as Punk Santa, but how Punk Santa even came to be. I especially like the four tiny Santa hats.
Thereâs no question that 2019 has seen the rise of this hellish challenge. Thereâs nothing funny or entertaining about this. Itâs putting peopleâs health at risk â and itâs just disgusting and illegal!
The person who took this photo didnât even notice there was a child in the cart until they heard a small voice saying, âHelp me!â Yes, itâs funny, but itâs also a little sad.
I donât 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.
I understand that a deer got inside the store, but after that, Iâm lost. Why was this manâs 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.
I get the desire for a cheap wedding venue, but there are approximately a million better places to get married than Walmart if youâre looking to save a dime. What about a park, a campsite, or even your backyard?
It appears the employee is negotiating with this man to get him to cover himself up, but heâs not TECHNICALLY naked. Heâs wearing socks, which might be a legal loophole for all we know.
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.
Thatâs quite the outfit to wear when returning products. The only logical conclusion is that theyâre wearing it to show it doesnât fit right and they deserve a refund.
12. If heâs not my baby, why is he in a stroller?
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.
When your child is so old their face drags on the floor as they ride in the cart, itâs time to tell them to walk. Maybe these two women are so tired of him nagging about walking that they donât care if his face is on the floor.
These two have gone down in history as some of the most extreme outfits to have ever appeared at Walmart. Reportedly, they didnât agree it was inappropriate to do their shopping in tighty-whities and a bikini.
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.
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.
I donât know whatâs happening here, and I donât want to know. Did this man say, âTime to grab my grandson and my sexy doll to go do my grocery shoppingâ?
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?
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. When itâs laundry day but youâve got to do your shopping
That man appears to be wearing one of those giant Sumo suit Halloween costumes. The best thing about the picture is how casually heâs browsing, as though he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans.
This artist made it their mission to find and draw as many interesting Walmart inhabitants as they can. Hereâs their rendition of this man, doing …whatever it is that he does.
Many older people say that the modern world has lost its grasp on etiquette. That might be true, but Iâm 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
This is the sort of thing you might see at a Renaissance fair. Of course, the Renaissance fair probably wouldnât include khakis or a glimpse of a bare butt.
If youâre single and looking for a relationship, you can try online dating, go to singlesâ events, or sign up for a dating service. Or, if youâre this guy, you can turn your shirt into a billboard and hope for the best.
This is an employee of Walmart, not a customer. His actions are 100 percent not okay. Itâs a huge health risk, itâs unsanitary, and it can ruin food â but amazingly, none of the people around him seem to care.
26. Well, how else are you supposed to carry your goat?
This woman has her shopping trip all planned out: sheâs got her cash, shopping list, her goat, and of course, sheâs got the baby carrier for the goat.
27. You can wear the ankle monitor or OWN the ankle monitor
Some people are embarrassed by getting an ankle monitor, which happens after a run-in with the law. But not this lady. Sheâs taken the time to bedazzle it a little just to make it more eye-catching.
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.
Okay, since theyâre pushing a shopping cart, weâre going to assume theyâre 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
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.
Hereâs 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.
Apparently, this man owns an alligator, which heâs 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!
The look on this manâs face says it all: none of us have any idea whatâs going on here. The only reasonable response is that maybe it was Halloween â but something tells me thatâs not the case.
This cashier is remarkably calm, considering that sheâs checking out a floating head. Then again, she works at Walmart. Suffice it to say, sheâs probably seen weirder things.
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.
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 canât be bothered to put a WHOLE T-shirt on
At what point does a T-shirt cease to be a T-shirt? Thatâs what this individual wanted to know when they did their shopping in a shirt that was more hole than fabric.
And then thereâs 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?
Count them: this man has three, yes, three guns on his person. One on each hip and one on the back â and one on his shirt. I donât know what heâs preparing for, but whatever it is, heâs ready.
40. Maâam, stop! Youâre defrosting the cheese!
Obviously, thereâs more than one person who thought it was okay to rest on grocery items. That freezer may look like a bench, but please donât sit there!
Some people dress down at Walmart, even doing their shopping in a bathing suit or underwear. But not this dapper fellow. Heâll wear his cherry red tails with pride.
This is so wrong on every level. Donât touch your significant other like this in public. No one else wants to watch you express your affection. And itâs so unsanitary.
So much for T-shirts with clever witticisms or veiled double entenders. This guy is going straight for the punchline. Unsurprisingly, itâs not a very good punchline. Itâs just a couple of anatomical words.
Letâs see: someone picked up a zucchini off the shelf, then ate it raw as they were walking through the store, then decided they didnât like it and put it back. Whatâs so unusual here?
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?
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.
This man isnât ashamed of wearing a bra. On the contrary, heâs left his shirt wide open so everyone can see. He does, at least, have good taste in lingerie.
Eating a couple of grapes off the bunch to test for freshness is one thing. Itâs 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?
Whatâs fascinating about this one is not only that theyâre dressed as if heading out on the Oregon Trail but also, theyâre completely coordinated. It seems theyâre in some deep discussion over those crescent rolls.
Rompers are in these days but this lady is way ahead of the curve. She doesnât need to spend money on any new clothes. Instead, sheâs repurposed an old pair of pajama pants and hiked them up high.
If your child is riding in the cart, maybe you shouldnât stack your groceries like this. If you need to purchase all this stuff, maybe you shouldnât let your kid ride in the cart. You canât have it both ways.
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?
This is a person whoâs proclaiming their personal beliefs very loudly. And weâre guessing theyâre probably not the easiest person to talk to, especially when it comes to certain topics.
Itâs 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, itâs a legitimate health hazard.
This lady didnât 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.
Sometimes, itâs 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.
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.
This man was creeping behind racks of clothes, making people nervous. When he was intercepted by security, he claimed he was an âundercover shopper.â
Thereâs nothing like a cartoon T-shirt! But this one is depicting two beloved classic cartoon characters spanking one another. Thatâll ruin your childhood memories for sure.
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 theyâre expecting to find.
Youâll notice that it doesnât say anything about pants. It also doesnât say anything explicitly forbidding tiny red Speedos, so technically, this guy is in the clear.
This is quite the getup for any situation, but itâs an especially interesting choice for doing your grocery shopping. The hose and sneakers are a nice choice, too.
You might think this was seen around Halloween, but youâd be wrong! The gang of Ghostbusters is also wearing Santa hats, making this is a show of holiday cheer.
Tere are about 100 places where you can sunbathe, even if you donât live near the beach. A park, a pool, or your backyard are all better than the Walmart parking lot.
This lady looks like she walked straight out of the cast of âGodspell.â Vintage outfits are all in these days, but this isnât what most people go for.
Weâll say one thing about this man â he looks like he knows exactly what we all think of his shirt and he still thinks itâs hilarious. The khaki shorts really tie the whole outfit together.
You know the old saying â when you need to go grocery shopping, itâs time to throw on your floral crop top and your cut-off shorts. Make sure nothing fits, either.
I canât decide which part of this grosses me out the most â that someone peeled and ate a raw ear of corn or that they left it on a shelf where anyone else could touch it.
This one might be weird, but itâs also incredibly sweet. This little guy looks so happy swaddled in his perch. Of course, heâs also surrounded by more fur of the fake variety.
