The People Of Walmart
Millions of people go to Walmart every day to make use of the incredible deals on their huge array of products. However, as many people know, a trip to Walmart may provide more than just a “buy one get one free” deal.
The people of Walmart, also known as Walmartians, are quite unique. Fortunately the internet has shared these baffling people with the rest of us.
1. Star-Spangled Ew
Twitter/People of Walmart
Many people out there are very patriotic and love their country. However, few people love their country more than this man apparently. He isn’t only wearing his patriotism on his sleeve but on his whole body. However, what’s most important to note about his outfit is the genius logic behind it.
That’s because we all know that it is quite difficult to color coordinate red and blue with anything else. This man overcame that by simply going all the way instead of just half.
2. Can It Be?
Twitter/People of Walmart
Sometimes it’s important to run an idea by as many people as possible before you approve it for production. Clearly no women were consulted before this pool float was approved. One Walmart shopper noted this design and quickly took a photo. No doubt they had to do a double-take when they saw this.
It’s not just the shape, however. Even the design looks like the blue designs on a sanitary pad for women. Just like the product it makes us think of, we hope that this also doesn’t allow for any leaks.
3. Tired Of Shopping

Ask anyone, a shopping trip can be a truly exhausting experience. Many people would prefer to take a nap and sleep through the arduous trip, skipping the line at the checkout.
While to most of us this is just a pipe dream, one child is living the dream. When one shopper spotted this poor exhausted shopper, they couldn’t resist snapping a sneaky photo. However, can they truly be called a shopper when they are sleeping? Thinking outside of the box like this is sure to give this child a bright future.
4. Cat’s In The Bag
Twitter/People of Walmart
Apparently a list about Walmartians wouldn’t be complete without mentioning their pets. That’s because many of their pets accompany them to the store. This man is a perfect example of this as it appears that he couldn’t leave his beloved cat home alone.
However, despite this apparent separation anxiety, this man has come up with an ingenious solution. Whether he designed or bought this is irrelevant when you look at the clear backpack. However, we can’t tell if the cat is unimpressed by the view, or the cramped quarters.
5. Ratty Clothing
Twitter/People of Walmart
At first glance this photo might seem quite innocuous. However, what has been seen can’t be unseen. That’s probably what the person who snapped this photo must have thought. Hidden by camouflage, a person might quite easily miss it. If you look closely at this man’s shoulder, you’ll see his passenger.
Yes, there in the hood of his top is his pet, none other than a rat. Apparently he decided to take his pet our for a walk. We like to think it’s his pet, as the alternative would be rather horrifying.
6. Hair Today
Twitter/People of Walmart
This man probably never needs to worry about getting the cold shoulder. While strolling through Walmart, one shopper noticed this man and undoubtedly stopped dead in their tracks. Fortunately, unlike photos of bigfoot, this one is quite clear. We guess it must have been a pretty hot day when this man decided to wear little more than a tank top when he went shopping.
Everyone got a very clear view as he strolled down the aisles. Despite what you might think, or hope, he’s not wearing shoulder pads. Nor is he wearing anything else that is fuzzy.
7. Wigged Out
Twitter/People of Walmart
Even rather ordinary things that we see every day can cause us to do a double-take. However, sometimes things stand out and catch our eye, leaving us to wonder: “What on earth was that?” No doubt the person who took this photo was thinking the same thing. It might seem unnatural but what you’re seeing is just a really tall young man. Not only is he tall, but it appears that he is wearing some kind of animal on his head.
While we are fairly sure it’s not an animal, we can’t decide if it is his own hair or a wig that he is wearing. Either way, I think we can all agree that his style is unique. Let’s hope it stays that way.
8. Super Attracts Super
Twitter/People of Walmart
Mystique is a well-known character from the Marvel Comics and has even been portrayed in a number of films. Best known for her red hair, yellow eyes, and blue skin, Mystique has the ability to change her appearance to that of anyone else on the planet.
Apparently, however, Mystique has decided to walk around in her natural appearance when she goes shopping at Walmart. The girl in the photo is clearly a fan, so imagine her surprise when she found this iconic supervillain wandering through her local superstore.
9. Going Down The Aisles
Twitter/People of Walmart
Weddings are a wonderful occasion. Just ask Tammi and Gerome Taylor. On their special day they were surrounded by friends, family, cashiers and shoppers. No that wasn’t a typo. These two lovebirds opted to exchange vows at Walmart, right by the self-checkout line.
This might sound like a rather strange idea but there is actually a rather cute backstory. The couple had met at the same self-checkout counter at Walmart a full 10 years earlier. The two got married in a traditional ceremony but when they decided to renew their vows, they decided to do so on the very spot where they met all those years before.
10. Stocking Stuffer
Twitter/People of Walmart
The holiday season is said to be the most wonderful time of the year. And while images around that season each year show shoppers at Walmart pushing through Black Friday crowds and elbowing their way to the best deals, sometimes other images show us that superstores are not all that bad during the holidays.
If anyone needed proof of the cheer of the holiday season, just take a look at this man in his outfit that we can only assume is the one he saves only for special occasions. From the pink stockings to his matching purse and dress, to the random inclusion of a Santa hat, we are here for this brand of holiday cheer.
11. Missed A Spot
Twitter/People of Walmart
The people of Walmart are some of the smartest and best shoppers around. They are usually fairly savvy, and you can generally count on them to be eager and willing to do what it takes to get the best deals, even if that means pitching a tent outside of the superstore overnight.
So one can only assume what had happened to this man who was spotted sporting a pretty unique haircut while doing some of his shopping at Walmart. But if we were to guess, we would say that he tried to save a few dollars and give himself a haircut. The only issue is that it seems like he may well have missed a spot.
12. Let Me See That Thong
Twitter/People of Walmart
Doesn’t it suck when someone gets caught with their pants down? Usually, that is just a phrase, but in this case, it is exactly what happened at one person’s local Walmart. And when his pants were down, the other shoppers around were able to see a little bit more than they bargained for.
With a bold and brassy underwear choice, this Walmart shopper joins the ranks of people like actor Tom Holland, who has admitted to wearing a thong to play the role of Spider-Man when he had to wear a latex suit. But this man does not seem to have that excuse. People of Walmart, you do you — never change.
13. The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Twitter/People of Walmart
In Walmart, it always feels like Christmas time, at least for the people of Walmart. The deals that are found at the superstore daily make every day feel like a gift-giving holiday. But one shopper decided to take this notion a little bit too literally. One shopper seized the opportunity to take this photo of a Walmart customer making his way through the aisles dressed head to toe as Santa Claus himself.
Apparently, in this modern-day tale Santa has replaced his sleigh with a more efficient option. But no matter if he is coming down the chimney or down aisle three, this Santa came to slay.
14. Cleanup in Aisle…This Guy?
Twitter/People of Walmart
A lot of weird things happen within the four walls of a Walmart. Sometimes, even the strangest scenes will not even warrant a double take in this wacky superstore. But this photo has us looking at least twice to figure out what is going on here.
It appears that this loyal Walmart shopper decided to bring his special friend with him to do some shopping. After all, why not bring a live, loud, sharp-taloned parrot to help with groceries? Well, here’s one reason why not: it seems that this particular parrot had an accident all the way down this man’s back. Yeah, that’s not a great look.
15. Can I Help You?
Twitter/People of Walmart
We will forever be impressed with the grocery store employees who know exactly where every item is in the store, down to the aisle and the shelf. And at Walmart, where anyone can find just about everything, it becomes quite a bit harder for a shopper to locate exactly what they need.
Luckily, there are employees there to help. But we assume that the job can be a little bit exhausting, especially around holidays where every shopper seems to be in search of the same exact product. This Walmart employee thought of a clever way to answer everyone’s burning Thanksgiving question, and the answer is in aisle five.
16. A New Leash On Life
Twitter/People of Walmart
There has been a stereotype catching on over the last few years. It seems that a lot of people outside of the United States now assume that it is commonplace for Americans to keep their children attached to leashes. The stereotype has been shown in US movies, and somewhere along the line, people assumed this was now standard practice.
But while it might not be so common to see children running around on leashes, this photo proves that this perceived “trend” is not just limited to toddlers. Apparently, adults in Walmart need to be put under a certain level of control.
17. Precious Cargo
Twitter/People of Walmart
Let’s be clear, the wonders of the people of Walmart are not just limited to the inside portion of the store. No, the spectacles can also be found all the way outside in the parking lot. And there’s no telling what one might find parked outside of their local Walmart.
That theory was proven once again when one Walmart lover was walking around the parking lot and spotted something strange in someone’s car. Sitting right there in the passenger’s seat was a baby goat. Yes, that’s right, a baby goat, hanging out in the Walmart parking lot. Nothing to see here?
18. An Unexpected Shopper
Twitter/People of Walmart
The Tyrannosaurus Rex, more commonly referred to by its nickname the T. Rex, was known to be one of the most ferocious of the dinosaurs. Before they all became extinct, they were carnivores with voracious appetites that dominated the top of the food chain in their era.
Experts say that a T. Rex was known to eat large dinosaurs and even had the ability to eat small dinosaurs in as little as one bite. But nowadays, things are a little bit different. Apparently, the T. Rex now shops in the organic section of their local Walmart as they look over some attractive fruits and vegetables, their tail worn elegantly to floor-length.
19. Bed Head
Twitter/People of Walmart
It has become an inside joke among the people who love Walmart the most. Everyone goes in there to buy that one thing that they need, and then they leave with a cart full of random stuff that they did not even know existed before they entered the store. And while Walmart does supply pretty large shopping carts, sometimes even those are not enough for the size of our shopping hauls.
That would certainly seem to be the case for this Walmart shopper, who could not fit this mattress into her cart and decided to balance it on her own head. We give this one a gold medal for form.
20. A Store Suspended In Time
Twitter/People of Walmart
We ask everyone that enters a Walmart to suspend their disbelief. There is truly nothing that is impossible at Walmart. In this case, we ask everyone to take everything that they ever thought about suspenders and throw it out the window. We’ve seen the future of suspenders and now we cannot unsee it.
One shopper at Walmart walked by this man who was having a bit of trouble keeping his jeans up, but luckily he snagged the perfect solution. Who needs a belt when they can just buy a five-pronged set of suspenders? Sure, it looks absolutely ridiculous, but we bet those pants aren’t moving an inch.
21. Tattoo Much Going On Here
Twitter/People of Walmart
When everyone in a store is looking for the best deals, it can be a dog-eat-dog world. Shoppers can never really know when someone is being nice and helpful, or when a shopper is really just a two-faced bargain hunter. But when it comes to this man, he takes the idea of being two-faced to a whole new level.
With all of his tattoos, it might be hard to spot what we are talking about. So take a look at the back of this man’s head and see his very, well, unique ink. Be right back, it’s time for us to all go have nightmares now.
22. Walmart Store Rock
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
Elvis Presely ruled the music scene back in the 1950s. Sadly, just as he was slowing and falling off the charts, he passed away. Many believe he went into hiding and sought out a life of quiet or was abducted by aliens. Truth be told, the King just walked into a Walmart and found no reason to leave.
One can’t be certain what Walmart he walked into, but it seems that he fell perfectly into Walmart’s crowd of troubled weirdos. Luckily for him, Walmart has everything to sustain a life. He never really has to walk out into the public again.
23. Santa Claus Is Coming To Walmart
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
When Santa isn’t screaming at elves and riling up the reindeer, he throws on his home clothes and takes a sleigh ride into the city. From the looks of it, his holiday spirit melts away pretty quickly when he’s dealing with people at his local Walmart and if things get tough, he has Mrs. Claus there for backup.
Rumor actually has it that he fired his elf toymakers years ago. Now he just hits up Walmarts all year long and buys his toys in bulk. With Walmart’s prices, he probably saves a lot of money over the holiday season. We’re sure he’s added a few new wings to his mansion.
24. Giant Elderly Woman
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
While at first glance this lady definitely looks like someone that would make you shudder if you see her in a dark alley, she can actually come in handy. If you can’t reach something off the top shelf, you’re in luck if you happen to be the presence of this giant elderly woman.
You can be assured, if this is your grandmother, none of the Walmarters are going to cut in front of you in line. We can totally picture her picking up someone with one hand and tossing them across the store with one arm. This is the grandma to have.
25. Walmart Jailbreak
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
We hope that this woman broke out of prison and went to Walmart for some new clothes. That said, maybe a JC Penny would have been a better place to escape to, as Walmart clothing definitely won’t look much better than the stuff that she has on. While jailbreak wasn’t likely the result of her clothes, one has to think what she was wondering.
This young lady put that on, looked in the mirror and thought it looked pretty good. Note to anyone who wears clothes, the goal is to have a matching outfit, not to have an outfit that is matched.
26. God Save The Walmart
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
Much like Elvis, Sid Vicious also seems to have dodged his growing fame for a life inside of Walmart. He already was somewhat of an extreme character, so he’d fit in perfectly within Walmart culture. Walmart is pretty much the wild west of retail stores. The punk rock lifestyle would thrive in such a store.
Maybe when horrible people pass on, they just end up in Walmart. While some people love it, it could easily be one of the floors of hell. Spend one hour inside of a Walmart and you’re definitely see something bizarre. By the time you walk out, your brain feels a little scrambled.
27. Haircuts Of Walmart
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
This haircut may have been a hip thing 40 years ago or even 30 years ago, but now the mullet is just questionable. We’re sure someone in 1986 told him that he had nice hair and he figured it was the haircut to take with him through the decades. As of the ‘20s, this is just a haircut that screams out to the masses that he’s a Walmart shopper. Funny how you only ever see these wild kinds of haircuts in a Walmart.
We’re almost certain that he just vanishes the minute he walks out the door and then reappears somewhere else inside of Walmart.
28. From The Bath To The Store
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
Most Walmarts are open 24 hours a day and seven days a week. You never have to worry about those doors closing or being rushed out before you get what you need. All that makes me wonder why this woman was in such a rush. It looks like she dived right out of the shower, through on her robe, slipped on the crocs and sprinted out the front door.
We can just picture speeding all the way to Walmart, cutting corners and running red lights. We really can’t imagine why anyone would be in such a rush to go to a Walmart.
29. Getting Some Shut-Eye
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
Walmarts can be big and confusing, especially if you’re an elderly person. This has been mapping through his local Walmart for almost two decades now. Sometimes workers find him camping in the outdoors section or just napping on a couch. While you might think that this guy is a special case, word has it that there are many folks who have gotten lost in their local Walmart.
Some Walmarts have whole communities of live-in shoppers. They’ve been in Walmart for so long that they can’t even picture life outside of the store. They manage to sleep where they can and survive on a diet of cola and Ritz crackers.
30. Accident Waiting To Happen
People Of Walmart/Tumblr
If you haven’t guessed it by now, Walmart shoppers aren’t exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. They are a lovable bunch of butter knives. While usually the fun is innocent and harmless, being a butter knife definitely comes with its downside. Walmarts are rarely not packed, considering this woman’s cart situation, we can totally imagine her causing a world of chaos in the store.
Well…..she’ll at least add to the chaos that’s always usually there. At the end of the day, Walmart is rarely a place that we ever want to be. However, do we really want to live in a world without Walmart?
