Poll of the Day > What is it about Walmart that attracts the weirdos?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like to think I live a fairly nice community but then I go to Walmart and see tons of people who dress strangely or poorly and look like they haven't bathed in days. Is it the prices or something? I never see anyone else like this when I go to other parts of town.

They think the same thing when they see you there

Cheapest prices attract, for a lack of a better term, lowest common denominator type folks

One thing I always notice in a Walmart is that nobody covers their mouth when they cough

I've only seen two cross dressers in real life and both were at Walmart

It's also one of the most popular chain stores with a variety of different items that can be found close to most towns/cities.

It's not odd to see weird people there when you consider the number of customers they have...

Idk the ones I've worked in were pretty normal

Maybe it's an American thing

Umm, clearly your own personal weirdness clouded your vision.

Wally seems to have their own ongoing cosplay contest. Who can dress the worst legally?

I don't have it but it's like 'people of walmart' or something along those lines.

Cheap bras apparently.

I remember one time I was in the returns lane -- can't remember what I was bringing back -- and some woman's kid dumps her drink on me and maybe a little splashes on the chick next to me. The mother and chick get into this huge fucking shouting match over spilled whatever, with the mother insisting she shouldn't have to apologize for something her kid did. That's pretty much Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart is just weird. There's no real justification for it. There *are* cheaper places to shop but you don't get the same kind of shit happening there. It might be because Wal-Mart is also a larger store so it gets a bigger crowd in at once or people hear stories and just assume they can do weird shit.

All that aside, I don't see many poor-hygiene people there or, at least, not compared to other places. I've walked into at least 15 different Wal-Marts so I imagine I've had a good cross-sampling by now.

Shit always seems to go down in Walmart parking lots too.... shootings and muggings, botched drug deals etc... I just avoid the place entirely.
