If you imagine a store so big, it could have its own zip code and offers literally everything under the sun, whether a simple bottle of shampoo or a new desk for your room, that store is Walmart. Sometimes, when you ask people about America, the first thing that comes to mind is Walmart. It sounds like a grand ol’ time! But hold up, that’s only half of it.Because millions of Americans go shopping at Walmart every year, it is only natural that the employees see some crazy shenanigans (and people) on the clock. And we are not exclusively talking about rude customers who walk in acting like they own the store. We’re talking about the ones that have a statement to make.Naturally, we had to write an article about the wild and fascinating things that go down at the infamous Walmart. And, if you’ve never set foot in one, we think this article will give you a pretty good idea of what you are in for. You may find it hard to believe that so many absurd customer moments happened all in one place.Wearing a moisturizing mask
Do you know how people sometimes forget to do something before leaving the house and end up embarrassing themselves? For example, some women forget to remove their hair rollers and then feel like a deer in headlights once they’re in public.
Someone give them some masks!
Even when mask mandates were still strict, some people refused to wear them — even if they were putting their health at risk by doing so. The ironic part about this scenario is these makeshift masks might kill people from laughter!
Don’t let this happen to you!
If you go to Walmart in Florida or in any coastal area, it’s likely that you will come across a customer or two wearing the tiniest outfits you’ve ever seen. Maybe this is their way of showing off their newly-acquired tan.
Where are the rest of her shoes?
You don’t have to be into fashion to know that some designers are pushing the boundaries when it comes to what is in at the moment. You’ve probably seen a picture of ripped-up shoes being sold for thousands at some point.
It looks like a tail!
Walmart employees have seen it all but were surprised to see this customer walking into one of their stores. Their hairstyle certainly caught other customers’ eyes. It looks like Rapunzel got fed up with brushing her hair for an hour every day.
What in the world?
Do you know how sometimes we can’t exactly describe what our eyes are seeing? Well, in Walmart, this happens every ten seconds! This woman and her one-of-a-kind fashion style definitely fit in, and we know she knows it!
That can’t be true!
These days, women are all about fake eyelashes, fake nails, fake lips, and whatever else is not natural. This includes fake eyebrows. Razor-thin eyebrows used to be all the rage, but this woman is focused on bringing back vintage brows!
It’s a Walmart miracle!
The craziest things can happen at your local Walmart — but did you know that Walmart was a national hub for miracle work! Think of a Christmas miracle but at Walmart. Once you take a look at this next image, you’ll understand what we’re talking about.
A different kind of pet
When we think of pets, we usually think of cats and dogs. Store owners typically put up signs indicating that pets aren’t allowed in their stores — but do they specify what kinds of pets aren’t allowed? It seems like this Walmart store didn’t.
You said no pets are allowed on the floor.
Another Walmart customer who decided to test the grey area of the “no pets allowed” rule is this guy who brought his cat to the store with him. Considering that nobody has ever said anything about pets in a bag, he wasn’t totally wrong to assume that he could bring his cat.
We hope this trend won’t stick around.
Do you remember the 90s and early 2000s? Those years were pretty crazy in terms of fashion. We mean, who doesn’t remember low-rise jeans? Or the way that celebrities would walk the red carpet wearing skirts over leggings! Thankfully, all those fashion trends are gone.
He’s my kid, and I won’t leave him alone
Everyone who studied science at school knows of Darwin’s theory of evolution. He said that humans descended from apelike creatures — and that’s why many people say that humans and monkeys are related. Maybe that’s the excuse this lady used to bring her pet to Walmart.
That’s actually adorable
Onesies are adorable for children and teenagers. However, we can’t say the same thing for adults. Not every adult looks cute in one of those — but it seems like this couple woke up that morning and decided to role-play.
I’ve seen this icon somewhere
Well, this woman is taking social distancing to new heights. She really did a great job color-coordinating. We see she is trying to social distance, but she won’t have that problem being masked and totally hard to miss.
While the wife goes shopping…
Men don’t like shopping. There are some exceptions to this rule, but usually, they will beg to stay home. And while this guy’s wife made him come to Walmart with her, she couldn’t stop him from having a full-blown siesta in the middle of the store.
Late-night cravings be like!
If you are like most night owls and can’t sleep early even if you try, you’ve probably experienced this. It’s the middle of the night, and you’re craving food you don’t have, of course. So what do you do? Head to Walmart wrapped in your sheets!
He’s so brave for this!
While most older people are pretty conservative and will never miss an opportunity to complain about today’s society, some elderly people are actually pretty rad. They’re open-minded enough to accept that the world has changed and that this is not necessarily a bad thing.
How much for that wig?
If you know anything about wigs, you know that they become more expensive the bigger they are. And this person would have paid a small fortune for this wig — if only it weren’t in such poor conditions, that is.
Just tell me why!
If you want to work at a place where you’re sure to have a good laugh at least once a day, Walmart is the ideal place — like this guy in a weiner costume. Seriously, what was it about this day that made him want to wear this?
The kids don’t stay at home
Nowadays, it feels like more families are adopting pets. And they have become such a fundamental part of society that many establishments call themselves “pet-friendly.” While we had no idea that Walmart was one of those places, it seems like it is.
That’s so scary!
The whole world was a completely different place just a couple of years ago – we saw masks plastered on everyone’s faces. This is obvious as everyone was paranoid about getting sick or breathing in anything that could potentially make them sick.
Can’t get married with no pictures!
While marriage is not as common nowadays as it was decades ago, many people still get excited by the idea of saying “I do” to the love of their life. For this couple, it’s only natural to return to the place where they first met.
Is that Barney?
When you think that you’ve seen it all, Walmart goes ahead and surprises you. It seems like this store attracts the weirdest, offbeat customers in comparison to other grocery stores — and that’s great for us. It’s prime entertainment.
We need explanations!
If you’ve watched the Grinch, you probably remember most of his physical characteristics. One of the Grinch’s main characteristics is that he has a bunch of fur around his neck, resembling the collar of a furry top or something of that kind.
Ma’am, that’s not doing much for you…
Walmart was one of the places that saved a lot of people’s lives during that weird period of social distancing. But if you remember well, lots of people didn’t take the whole thing seriously when it had just begun, like this woman in the picture.
Oops, missed the parking lot!
One of the best features of Walmart stores is the fact that you can do your grocery shopping online and then pick up your items without having to get out of the car. This is a convenient option for customers and helps generate more jobs.
What should we mention first?
You’ve already laid eyes on a Walmart customer holding her pet monkey. There was also that one woman carrying her turtle on a leash and the other lady who brought her three dogs to the store with her. Now, it’s time for this man to shine.
Is that the newest trend?
Digital influencers get that name because they manage to influence their followers into doing and buying things that they endorse. For instance, everything that the Kardashians do is copied by others, from how they pose in pictures to how they look.
You’ve grown out of that phase, sweetie!
If your mother used to take you to the grocery store when you were a kid, you probably remember how she would put you inside the shopping cart and push you around the store. Every kid loves doing this! Apparently, so do some adults.
Can you even explain this?
Sometimes, when you see something but have no clue regarding the context, the only thing left to do is to come up with theories. For instance, when we look at the picture below, we create so many theories as to why this woman looks like this.
You better stay away!
Back when we still had to keep a social distance from other people, it seemed like there were those who deliberately chose to ignore these rules. The problem with that is that they were putting not only themselves at risk but also those around them.
That’s not it…
Before Coronavirus became a thing, the word “corona” was already in existence. And we bet that, when you read this word, you immediately think of a particular beverage that has that name. It seems like an employee at this Walmart store got a bit confused regarding their meanings.
Is this really the ideal place for a photo?
When we think of going grocery shopping, we certainly don’t think of dressing up. But it seems that some people live by the “every moment is an opportunity to dress up” motto. Well, at least this lady definitely does.
What’s the point in doing that?
We’ve already learned from this article that fashion is relative and every person has the freedom to do whatever they wish. Does that mean everything looks good? Heck no! Does that mean you should replace your hair beads with Jolly Ranchers in case you run out! Heck yes!
Is this the Metaverse?
Everyone is raving about alternate realities and the so-called Metaverse these days. And while there is no way to prove that alternate realities with “mirrored” versions of ourselves exist, it would be fun if they did. Scenes like this one, for instance, would probably be common.
We just had to look twice!
It is not unusual for our eyes to deceive us, but sometimes, it’s not even our fault. Don’t be fooled here. Underneath that hot bikini body is a whole lotta, man. We know it’s an illusion, but hey, this is Walmart. Everything goes!
You got me for a second!
And while we’re on the topic of “optical illusions,” here goes another one. Just when those modest members of society who are trying to cruise by with no attention try and buy milk and bread, Walmart just had to get freaky again.
Every kid’s dream!
When we bring our kids to the grocery store, we have to keep them entertained somehow. And this woman might have just found the best way to keep her young kid busy while she pays for the items she purchased.
It’s just a quick nap
Do you know those nights we can’t sleep well for no reason in particular? The following morning, we feel so sleepy that we could literally sleep while eating. And judging by this next photo, it looks like this lady just had one of those nights.
The most chill dad in the county
Dads have their own kind of humor, and it seems like the older they get, the funnier they try and be. And that’s especially true when they’re out in public. This father was shopping at Walmart with his wife and decided to do something funny.
Is that what life in small towns looks like?
Who said that Walmart is all about weird and funny stuff? It’s also a fascinating place too — you just have to be lucky enough to see some of these things in person. The person who took this photo didn’t see anything hilarious but rather something weird.
A free concert? I’m in!
Walmart should not be reduced to a place where weird people go shopping. It is also a place of culture, and we can totally prove it! Just take a look at this next picture. If this doesn’t scream that Walmart is an American cultural hub, then we don’t know what does.
This is how you deal with petty kids
Bringing a child to the grocery store is quite tricky. That’s because you never know how your kid is going to act once you get there. Some days, they’re as nice as angels sent from heaven; but on other days, they want to be brats in Walmart, of all places!
That doesn’t look like a shopping cart!
There is so much going on in the world right now that the global economy has been deeply affected. What does that mean for us, regular folks? It means that we have to pay more for things that used to be cheap, like gasoline.
No getting lost today, young man!
While some kids throw tantrums at the grocery store, there are kids who do something even crazier: they get lost from their parents. You probably got lost when you were a kid and had to ask an associate of the store to help you find your family. And it was probably in Walmart.
The good ol’ prank!
Back in the day, pulling pranks on people was extremely popular. Remember how there were TV shows dedicated exclusively to pulling pranks on celebs? Well, it looks like the pranking spirit is still very much alive at this Walmart store.
So, what is the truth?
We know this is a list of wacky and weird Walmart customers, but he just had to throw this one into the mix because of how ridiculous it is. Really, the person who made this shirt had one job! How do they make an epic mistake like this?
Are you really in that much of a rush?
Do you know when you want something so bad that you just can’t wait to get your hands on it? When we feel that way, it’s like there is nothing that can stop us from getting what we want — not even a lack of shoes!
Sir, I think you have something on your….
If something embarrassing was going on with you, would you like to remain oblivious, or would you prefer someone to come up to you and say something? That’s the kind of question we ask ourselves when we see things like this.
If I can’t bring my pet, I’ll dress up like it!
Even though some customers blatantly ignore the rules and bring their pets to Walmart, most people have common sense and respect this rule. But this wolfpack was hungry, so naturally, they came out from hiding in the wild for a memorable trip to Walmart.
Well, the eyes are defined indeed
This next image is not necessarily about a funny customer being weird — rather, it’s about what a customer did to one of the advertisements for makeup. This person was quite creative and must’ve been pretty bored when they did this.
Time for a nap!
Remember that lady who fell asleep while sitting on the motorized shopping cart at Walmart? Or the man in the meat section. It seems like she was not the only one who loves to take a nap while shopping.
This is what happens when there are no crimes
If you’re into superheroes, you know that Batman is pretty rich, and so is the Iron Man. But there is a superhero who is not rich at all, according to the stories. And that guy is the Spider-Man, also known as Peter Parker (The OG).
Runaway bride!
Many love stories feature runaway brides who realize at the altar that they’re not getting married to the love of their lives. And while we don’t see a lot of these stories happening in real life, it does happen from time to time.
A great idea to entertain the guys.
Walmart is always trying to do things that please their customers, and they decided to do something nice for the men who come into their stores just to accompany their wives. Waiting for someone to finish grocery shopping used to be pretty boring, but not anymore.
His barber probably hates him!
Old-school video games went pretty much off the rails when it came to creating multiple characters. And this is especially true for fighting game franchises like Mortal Kombat and Tekken. Maybe it was the fact that technology back then was not nearly as advanced as it is today, but lots of characters looked like this:
Kids are going to need therapy after this
For most people, the only time they can go grocery shopping during the week is after they’re done at work. Instead of heading straight home, we have to muster the energy to stop by Walmart first. The thing is: not everyone has conventional jobs.
The theft detector might go off, sir
Earlier in this article, you saw a lady who had quite a peculiar fashion sense. Remember that one woman with the extravagant headpiece? Well, it seems like that customer has found herself some pretty tough competition with this guy.
Maybe that’s why you need that cane
If you are a woman who has to wear high-heels on a daily basis, you probably hate these kinds of shoes with a passion. While lots of women are constantly fighting to abolish this “high-heel culture,” it seems like this elderly man is headed in the opposite direction.
The next Lady Gaga!
Lady Gaga rose to global fame back in the late 2000s and early 2010s — but she didn’t become popular just for her music. The pop star also gained a lot of media attention for the outfits she used to wear, as well as the gigantic high-heels that she loved so much.
The most efficient Craigslist
Nowadays, we can find anything we want and need on the internet in a matter of minutes. But that doesn’t mean that the internet is the best tool to look for or advertise things. In some places, word-of-the-mouth is still more efficient.
What exactly is going on here?
Judging others is not cool. But does that mean that we’re going to refrain from making polite observations about others? Well, not really. We’re pretty sure that if you saw this person at Walmart, you’d question some things too.
That’s not too shocking, actually.
You don’t have to be into makeup and cosmetics to know that fake eyelashes and nails are the biggest trends these days. Lots of women are getting lash extensions and extremely long fake nails. But this lady wants to teach them that they can achieve long nails naturally.
What if someone steps on it?
Having long hair is all fun and games — until a clumsy person steps on it. This might sound kind of far-fetched, but it’s possible. If you have long hair like this woman in the picture below, there are high chances that someone might step on your beautiful locks.
A clown’s gotta eat
Who said that regular people are the only ones who need to go grocery shopping? Apparently, scary killer clowns also have families to feed, and Walmart is their go-to place when they need to get some groceries for their homes.
Dad, you’re embarrassing me!
Even celebrities’ children get embarrassed by their famous parents sometimes — and regular teens certainly feel the same about their old folks’ antics sometimes. This young girl definitely felt embarrassed to no end when her dad dressed up like this.
That’s just creepy
If you are into horror movies, you probably look at dolls differently now. Ever since the horror movie Anabelle came out, most people who watched it avoided dolls like the plague. But it seems like some people are running to get their hands on them.
And he’s touching all your items
When Walmart hires a new associate, they must undergo a couple of days of training before they can get started at work. Technically, the associate should be well aware of all the sanitary rules and not go around doing things like this.
That’s just too inappropriate
From an early age, we’re taught that we need to respect our elders because they know more than we do. Older people have lived through a lot, and people usually associate old age with wisdom. But it seems like not every elderly person is that wise.
She’s giving…Superman!
Back when superheroes first became popular, which was decades ago, some of them were designed in a funny way. You probably remember how Superman used to wear his underwear over his pants, right? Well, it looks like some people are still inspired.
Maybe she just arrived on this planet?
This next photo will confirm that Walmart has some of the weirdest customers ever — but it’s also going to show you that this company is pretty inclusive and welcoming. After all, not a lot of grocery stores would let customers walk in dressed like this:
Where did you get those?
If you remember the early and mid-2000s, you probably remember how Ugg boots were so popular back then. Every celebrity had a pair of these boots and wore them everywhere! Every young woman wanted to own a pair of classic Uggs until the hype was over.
Family pastime!
Every family is different. Some families are really close and have a great relationship, while other families are distant. If your family is close, you guys probably see each other all the time, or maybe you even live close.
Harley Quinn, after another breakup
Harley Quinn and the Joker have one of the most toxic on-again-off-again relationships in the history of comics. And while Harley Quinn manages to find herself again after a while, she does go through quite a process of grieving after their many breakups.
After a long period of recovery…
In this article, we have seen a lot of random and weird things happening — but it seems like Walmart customers are always one-upping each other. When you think you’ve seen it all, you come across another picture that is even weirder than the previous ones.
Miss America!
With July 4th just around the corner, lots of Americans are showing their love for the country in different ways. Some people decorate their homes, others make emotional posts on social media saying how much they appreciate their nation — and there are those who show their love through fashion.
Ma’am…I mean, sir!
Look, everyone has the right to do as they please with their bodies. But don’t go around wearing some crazy outfit and expect people to not stare or make comments on your look. Sometimes, we can’t help ourselves when we see things like this.
Mommy just had a baby!
When parents welcome a baby, the older kids can get kind of jealous that the baby is getting all the attention. But some kids are just too pure for that. This boy, for instance, certainly loves his baby brother so much that he’s even willing to do things like this.
Did you like my headpiece?
People are acting so unusual these days that even snakes are considered to be pets nowadays. Snakes may look scary to most of us, but apparently, there are a lot of people who love snakes as if they were cute dogs. And the unusual pets don’t stop there.
I think you did it.
To end our article in the best way possible, we had to choose a weird Walmart shopper who managed to top all the others. And while you can argue that this guy is not as weird as the others, we have to say that he’s the star of this article for other reasons.
Elasti-Mom?
Shopping, especially at a huge store like Walmart, can be a taxing endeavor that humbles even the most resilient people. After strolling around the store pushing the cart, sometimes stopping can be a welcome relief, which we suspect was the case here.
