GOAT Walmart Moments That Will Leave You Speechless

Shopping at Walmart is a unique experience. Walmart Supercenters are absolutely massive and contain everything a shopper might need, including groceries, personal care items, home decor products, electronics, and several other departments. Since Walmart is so large and attracts so many customers, you can bet you’re going to find people from all walks of life in these stores. Customers who shop at Walmart know the crazy shenanigans that go on in this store. From people shopping in strange fashion statements to customers tripping over the low, low prices offered at this hypermarket, we’ve seen it all, and we’re ready to share it! Scroll on to bear witness to the greatest Walmart moments that will leave you speechless!

Wearing A Different Kind of Mask

It’s not unusual to see people looking like they barely got dressed before heading to Walmart. For some reason, Walmart has a very casual atmosphere. People feel comfortable shopping in their pajamas, slippers, hair curlers, and apparently their face masks! This looks like one of those moisturizing face masks you can actually buy at Walmart! So, the question becomes, did this customer leave the house with this mask on or did she put the mask on while she was shopping? If it’s the latter, then we hope she remembered to pay for it! Especially since she’s using self-checkout and we all know how easy it is to ‘forget’ to scan an item or two there.

The Odd Mask Trend Continues

Mask mandates were very strict during the worst of the pandemic and you absolutely could not go shopping without having a mask on. People often had to find substitutes for face masks, but it was usually something simple, like a scarf or a bandana. These two customers apparently couldn’t find any spare cloths to use as masks at home, so they decided to go with the next best thing. This elderly couple stuck feminine hygiene products onto their faces. We’re not sure how well this would work as a face mask, but it certainly doesn’t look pleasant!

Post-Beach Shopping Trip

If you’ve ever gone shopping at a Walmart in Florida or another coastal location, then you’ve probably seen other customers wearing their bikinis and swimsuits straight from the beach. Seeing people wandering around Walmart in their swimsuits with wet hair is to be expected, but sometimes you’ll see the results of spending too much time in the sun. The woman on the right in this picture clearly forgot to apply sunscreen regularly and is showing the effects of it. Perhaps they’re shopping for some soothing aloe vera to ease that sunburn!

Makeup Is Great for Self-Expression

This picture features an employee rather than a customer, but Walmart tends to attract certain types of people, even for their workers. Makeup can be a wonderful form of self-expression, but we’re not sure what she was trying to express with this forehead design. The massive winged eyeliner would have been enough of a statement on its own, but those shapes on her forehead have us curious. Are they supposed to be giant eyebrows?

Buy All The Bananas

What would a person need this many bunches of bananas for? Even the employee looks shocked by the excessive number of bananas on his check out belt. The person purchasing these bananas must be planning on making a ton of banana bread or pudding or something. Or, maybe they just have an obsession with the delicious, tart fruits. We’re not quite sure what to say about this photo, except- Only at Walmart!

Is This Intentional?

What happened to this person’s shoes? Is it a fashion statement? It seems unlikely that her shoes fell apart in exactly the same way, and the lines appear cleanly cut. Perhaps this customer wanted to create a new type of shoe and was testing out her prototype at Walmart. This design probably isn’t going to take off anytime soon because it’s not exactly aesthetically appealing, but it certainly works for showing off your new toenail polish.

Only Found In A Walmart Parking Lot

This is a Maserati coated in black and gold suede. While the owner of this vehicle probably thought it looked incredibly unique and stylish, we’re betting they didn’t think about some of the practicalities of this fabric. First of all, what happens when it rains? Will the fabric get moldy? And also, what happens when a bird poops on it? We all know this happens on occasion, and it seems like you’d have a tough time cleaning that off of suede. This may look interesting, but it’s definitely not the most practical idea.

This Looks Like A Tail!

We all know the story of Rapunzel with her super long hair. Perhaps this woman wanted to model Rapunzel’s style with her incredibly lengthy hair, but simply couldn’t deal with the strenuous upkeep after a while. Hair of that length requires special care and attention, which this customer’s hair was clearly not getting. It’s turned into a complete matt at this point and will likely need to be shaved off whenever she’s ready. The matted tail-like hair is a little sketchy, but there’s also sketchier stuff to see at Walmart.

If It Fits, I Parks!

Alright, we have to give this guy some props. Everyone has encountered a super busy Walmart parking lot with no empty spots close by, except for an empty carriage returns. Most cars wouldn’t fit into the narrow carriage return spot, but this one apparently managed it just fine! There’s no way the owner of this vehicle managed to open their door to exit the car and more likely climbed out of the open driver’s side window. This is both hilarious and a little impressive!

No Need To Match While Shopping at Walmart

Walmart is the place to go where you can dress however you want. There’s no need to throw on a good pair of jeans and a pretty blouse like you would if you were shopping at Target. Still, there are some questionable things about this woman’s sense of style. Her very hungry caterpillar leg warmer is adorable, but seems a little childish for a full grown woman. Then there are the colorful shoes and tie-dye shirt covered in bears to mention. She’s welcome to dress as she pleases at Walmart, and we suppose it’s nice to have a place where you can be your truest self while out in public!

Marking Your Territory

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Walmart is a truly massive store, and you can’t blame the employees for not managing to keep every item perfectly dusted. We also can’t blame the customers for wanting to occasionally mark their territory by drawing in the dust. This person wrote a simple “I was here” in the dust of this glass table, but we’ve definitely seen worse. At least they didn’t draw a super inappropriate picture!

It’s A Walmart Miracle

Photo Credit: thepic.net

Walmart, along with many other major retailers, offers motorized carts for their customers. Most people who use these carts are injured, disabled, or otherwise unable to stand safely. However, this woman managed to stand and balance on the seat of her motorized cart to reach something on the top shelf! It must be a Walmart miracle to magically allow her to perform such a feat! It’s not as if people who don’t actually need those carts would use them, right?

Sleeping On The Job

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Well, this man isn’t an employee of Walmart, but he’s clearly on the clock collecting donations for the Salvation Army right outside of Walmart. Times are tough, and not as many people are donating these days, but that’s still no excuse for this man to sleep on the job! This person probably should have gotten some more sleep the night before, but instead he decided to take a nap in broad daylight on an uncomfortable plastic folding chair. This is definitely getting filed under the things only seen at Walmart.

Emotional Support Animal or Just A Pet?

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Most stores don’t allow their customers to bring their pets inside unless they’re service or emotional support animals. However, we seriously doubt this customer’s tortoise counts as either of those things. However, a tortoise is probably less bothersome for employees than a hyper puppy or anxious kitty, so we suppose this isn’t too bad. It also looks like the customer is buying some boxed cakes. Perhaps it’s the tortoise’s birthday!

They Said No Pets On The Floor

Photo Credit: themoneytime.com

Many stores have a “no pets on the floor” policy, including Walmart. This customer decided to test the boundaries of that rule by bringing his cat into the store, but he used a specific cat-carrier backpack! This is actually an awesome idea for bringing your pet along without risking them getting away or damaging products. We think the cat looks very comfy in their little bubble and should be allowed to come with his owner any time!

This Is Just Rude

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Walmart suffers millions of dollars in losses every single year, and this photo shows a clear example of how this happens. Customers will grab an apple or bag of chips and eat while they shop, and then stuff the eaten food somewhere in the store. Not only is this super wasteful and unsanitary, but it’s also incredibly rude! This apple is going to stick if it’s not found by an employee and cleaned up soon, and it must stink to be the employee who has to clean up these messes.

Crazy Hair You Won’t See Anywhere Else

Photo Credit: funny-memes.us

Alright, we all love seeing some funny hairstyles, but this is something super extra. This customer shaved his entire head, except for this small ponytail-esque area of hair. We have so many questions. Where did he get the idea for this hairstyle? Did he do this on a dare? Is he going to shave the rest off after his trip to Walmart? This picture makes us very glad rat tails went out of style after the 90s!

Should We Tell Her?

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Body positivity is very important and it’s awesome to feel comfortable wearing whatever makes you happy. However, someone needs to tell this woman that these shorts just do not fit her at all. They’re cute shorts, but this customer clearly needs to go a couple sizes up. We have no idea how she’s managing to walk around with her thighs so tightly constricted. Hopefully a brave fellow customer gave her the skinny on those skinny shorts and redirected her to something that would fit her better.

Is She Holding A Baby?

Photo Credit: dailymail.co.uk

It’s not at all unusual to see women walking around Walmart with a baby cradled against their chest. If someone looked at this woman from the front or back, then they probably assumed that’s exactly what they were seeing. However, when you get a closer look, you’ll realize this customer is actually holding onto a monkey! Monkeys are definitely not allowed inside Walmart, but this one looks so sweet that we feel it should be left alone.

No Kids In The Carriage!

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Walmart employees often struggle with customers who allow their children to ride in the carriage. It’s technically not allowed in stores, but we feel the employees of Walmart need to pick their battles, so they’re likely to let it go if you’re little one is riding inside the cart. However, what’s happening in this photo is very different. This child is riding on the very bottom of the cart, and it looks like his hoodie is seconds away from getting caught under the wheels. He could get seriously hurt riding around like this! Someone needs to convince him to either walk or ride in the cart like all the other rule-breakers.

A Unicorn In Walmart

Onesies look adorable on babies and children, but they’re less cute on adults. You must have a ton of self-confidence to dress in a full unicorn onesie and actually go out in public! This woman decided to be her best self while shopping at Walmart today and came dressed as a unicorn without a care in the world. Her partner matched her IDGAF energy with his pajama bottoms, American flag boots, and a mix-matched jacket. We can only imagine how they dress at home if this is what they feel comfortable wearing out!

What A Unique Costume

Photo Credit: spotlightstories.co

Halloween is a favorite time of year for those who love candy, dressing up, and all things spooky. It looks like the woman in this photo decided to wear a very unique costume while shopping at Walmart. She’s managed to dress exactly like a candy corn or a safety cone- we’re not sure exactly which she was aiming for. If she was hoping to look like a safety cone, then maybe she was trying to impress upon others the importance of keeping up with social distancing. If she wanted to be a candy corn, then we have to assume she just really loves those little candies!

Americans Love Low Prices And Wrestling

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Americans love finding great deals and low prices while they shop. They also love watching dudes beat the crap out of each other on stage! So, this Walmart decided to combine these two patriotic passions and planted a wrestling ring right in the middle of their store! We can only imagine this massively raised their profits for the year as kids and adults from all over flocked to this Walmart to see the action.

Leave Your Men At Home

While many people joke about how women can spend hours browsing in stores, they aren’t usually talking about grocery shopping. Most women, especially busy mothers, are quick to zip through Walmart to get the items on their list and get out. Bringing along your man often means spending time in the auto department (sigh) or being dragged along to compare different types of lightbulbs. This man decided he was so tired of going shopping that he hopped up on a couch in the furniture section and went right to sleep! We’ve all wanted to take a nap in Walmart at some point, but this rebel actually went for it. We can only imagine what his wife had to say about it!

Are You Chilly?

Photo Credit: reddit.com

This dress is probably made to be worn on someone with a shorter torso or over a bikini. This brave woman decided to go completely commando while wearing this dress, and we can only guess she’s feeling super chilly as she walks through the store. Most Walmarts keep their temperatures a little low, probably just to keep all the produce that sits out fresh. Perhaps this customer forgot her jacket in the car. We hope she goes back to get it!

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome

Photo Credit: twicsy.com

What do you do when it’s the middle of the night, and you’re starving? Head to Walmart! But wait! What if it’s also laundry day, and you have nothing to wear? That’s when it’s time to improvise, adapt, and overcome. This woman desperately wanted some late-night snacks but apparently didn’t have any clothes to wear. She improvised and adapted by wrapping a blanket around herself, then overcame the situation and managed to get her snacks! Very impressive, and we hope those late-night snacks really hit the spot.

More Crazy Hairstyles

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Walmart seems to attract people who enjoy a very unusual hairstyle. This isn’t the first picture we’ve included of a woman with extremely matted hair, and it might not be the last! This hairstyle honestly doesn’t look healthy, and we hope this customer plans on shaving that off so her hair can grow back. However, it’s important to let others live their best lives, and that’s apparently what this woman is doing. Maybe she feels Walmart is one of the few places where she can go with this hairstyle without receiving judgment. Maybe Walmart needs to take a page out of Planet Fitness’s book and start advertising itself as a judgment-free zone.

Finally Living His Best Life

Many people from older generations never miss an opportunity to complain about the styles of today’s youth. However, there are some boomers and older peeps who are rocking the new trends and finally feel as though they can dress as they’ve always desired. This man is absolutely rocking these short shorts and stylish leggings. He must be thrilled to finally be able to live his best life without judgment. In fact, he probably got a ton of high-fives as he shopped!

Bring Your Ferret To Walmart Day

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Walmart doesn’t allow customers to bring their pets into the store unless it’s a certified emotional support or service animal. However, that doesn’t stop people like the customer in this photo from trying to sneak their pets inside anyway. This man decided to bring along his ferret for his weekly Walmart trip, and the ferret didn’t look super impressed by the arrangement. Maybe Walmart should consider starting a “bring your pet to Walmart day.” Maybe it would cut down on incidents like this. Or, it might just encourage people to bring even more animals into the store. Only at Walmart will you see something like this!

Is It Halloween Or Just Another Day?

Photo Credit: buzznet.com

Employees at Walmart must find themselves asking each other whether today is Halloween or not way too frequently. Can you imagine going about your business as a cashier, looking up to greet your next customer, and seeing this man dressed in a wiener costume? It must be so difficult to maintain a neutral, professional disposition when you’re faced with some hilarity like this. This man clearly wanted to read his tabloids in peace, but how much peace did he really expect going into Walmart dressed like this? So many questions, so few answers.

How Many Suspenders Does One Man Need?

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Most Walmarts have a small restaurant or coffee shop inside their stores. Depending on the region, it’s usually a Subway, McDonald’s, Dunkin, or Starbucks. This customer decided to take a break from his shopping to grab a sandwich from Subway, and the passerby who took this picture pointed out the silly amount of suspenders this man is wearing! Seriously, you only need two suspenders. There’s no reason to wear this many! What made this man leave his house dressed like this? Why do all these images leave us with so many questions?

This Terrifying Mask Choice

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Okay, this mask is seriously creepy. We all understand the need to wear masks out in public, especially if you’re ill or dealing with a compromised immune system, but this customer took things way too far. While many who see this picture will automatically assume he’s going for a Grim Reaper type of look, we have another theory. His mask and outfit looks suspiciously like the ones doctors would wear when bringing plague patients to Poveglia Island. There’s a whole Ghost Adventures episode about that island and showing masks that look just like this! Was this a statement about the pandemic? Either way, this photo gives us the creeps!

Wedding Pictures Are A Must

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Marriage is a beautiful experience, and newlywed couples are often excited to head straight to their honeymoon after the big ceremony. However, weddings can be very expensive, and some couples choose to go a more cost-effective route. This couple appears to have headed straight from the courthouse to their local Walmart to develop their wedding photos. We hope the employees made sure to congratulate them!

This Is Not Safe!

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Keeping your kids entertained while you make your way through the grocery store isn’t easy. Many parents end up giving their kids a tablet or phone to play with, while others let their children play with things found in the grocery store. The mother in this photo looks incredibly fed up, which is probably why she let her daughter play with this produce bag. However, she should have interfered the second her daughter put the bag over her head! That is not safe, and her child could actually pass out!

Um… Mr. Grinch?

Photo Credit: lolbrary.com

If you’ve watched the Grinch, then you know one of his defining characteristics is the bunch of fur around his neck. That bunch of fur often resembles a collar, and it is an easy way to recognize the character. This man appears to have that same characteristic, and it’s a little frightening. Like, is this real hair? Or is this some kind of super realistic neck toupe? Either way, it’s pretty frightening, and we hope to never run into this man during Christmas time!

Why Do People Do This?

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Why do people do this? There are plenty of garbage cans all around Walmart, in their bathrooms, and in their parking lots. So what possessed this person to stuff multiple pieces of gum into this cart? Not only is this totally gross and unsanitary, but it also looks very difficult to remove. Can you imagine being the poor employee who has to deal with this mess? Walmart employees really don’t get paid enough to put up with all this stuff!

Going To The Beach Right After This

Photo Credit: reddit.com

We’ve all seen children get super excited about a new toy or outfit and hold onto it right up until they need to check out. It’s far more rare to see an adult doing this, but it’s not too out of the norm at Walmart. This woman was apparently so excited to go scuba diving after her shopping trip that she couldn’t be bothered to take the mask off! We hope she made it to the beach before the anticipation became overwhelming.

Gold Star For The Worst Parking Job Ever

Walmart

Walmart parking lots are often a mess. People park diagonally, outside of spots, or in crosswalks on the daily. However, this person gets the gold star for worst parking job ever seen! We have to wonder what happened here. Was he blinded by the sun and accidentally crashed into the store? Was he under the influence of something? Or was he just in that much of a hurry to get to that buy one, get one free deal? We need some answers!

Ma’am, I Think You Forgot Something

Photo Credit: peopleofwalmart.com

Seeing odd and unique fashion trends at Walmart is one of the most entertaining parts of shopping there! You’re never quite sure what you’re going to see during your weekly grocery trip. Most of the time, it’s easy to spot when someone is trying to start a new trend, but we have to question what’s happening in this picture. Did this woman intentionally cut off one of her pant legs? Perhaps one leg got a massive hole in it, and she decided to just chop off the whole leg? It looks less like a fashion statement and more like she forgot the other pant leg at home.

Hopefully This Isn’t What It Looks Like

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Standing on your feet for long hours and constantly moving your upper body to scan and bag items can get very tiring. It’s not uncommon for cashiers to feel like they’re overheating, which is why Walmart generously allows its employees to keep small fans at their registers. We’re seriously hoping this woman’s fan simply fell and ended up in between her feet. The reasoning behind the alternative is a little disturbing to think about. Either way, at least she’s found a way to stay cool!

Please Don’t Do This

 

Photo Credit: reddit.com

We’ve all seen children riding in the carts at Walmart, although they usually don’t ride in the motorized carts. These carts are specifically for disabled and injured people or any customer who can’t spend a ton of time on their feet. The woman riding in the basket of this cart is really doing other customers a disservice. Hopefully she only sat in the cart for this picture to be taken and then hopped right off.

This Is Hilarious If It’s Intentional

Photo Credit: reddit.com

Apparently, this Walmart ran out of clearance signs, so the employees decided to improvise. The wrote a couple of variations of the word clearance on pieces of paper and taped them to these boxes. Now, clearance isn’t the easiest word to spell, so we can understand some difficulties. However, there are clearance signs right behind these boxes where the employee could have simply copied the proper spelling! Was this laziness or just an attempt to get a laugh out of others?

Someone Took Social Distancing Seriously

Photo Credit: peopleofwalmart.com

Not everyone took social distancing seriously during the worst of the pandemic. In fact, many people scoffed at the idea of wearing masks in public and staying six feet away from others. However, plenty of people around the world understood the importance of keeping this pandemic in check. The man in this picture is wearing a shirt that says, “Social Distancing. If I can turn around and punch you in the face, you’re too close!” While physical violence isn’t necessary, it’s nice to see someone taking social distancing seriously.

A Unique Substitute For Hair Beads

Photo Credit: peopleofwalmart.com

We’ve all seen the interesting fashion trends and hairstyles that only seem to exist at Walmart, but this is a whole new level. This customer decided to make sure he always had access to a snack while out and about by replacing his hair beads with jolly ranchers! We’re not sure how to feel about this. One the one hand, it’s pretty ingenious. But, on the other hand, if the candies start to melt he’s going to have one heck of a time trying to get the sticky mess out of his hair!

This Outfit Will Make You Do A Double-Take!

Sometimes you see something that makes you do a double take. Occasionally, you see something that makes you have to check what you’re looking at three or more times! This is one of those instances. This man is wearing a shirt that features a woman’s body wearing a bikini, and it fits him surprisingly well. At first glance, it almost appears he has the body of a woman. Staring at this for too long is guaranteed to make your eyes hurt.

Life In Small Towns

People in small, rural areas tend to have pride in their town. Many small towns are filled with hunters and people who enjoy fishing. Basically, spending time outdoors is one of the biggest activities in small areas. These ladies are dressed in complete camo get-ups, and we bet they aren’t the only ones! Shopping at a small-town Walmart will often be a confusing sea of camo where you question whether the people of that town have any other patterns to wear!

Anyone Want A Free Concert?

Photo Credit: xexe.club

Some Walmarts really try to elevate themselves as places of entertainment as well as the best one-stop place to shop in town. We already saw a Walmart with a wrestling cage in the middle of the store, and now we have evidence of a store with an active concert going on. The people in this photo look like they may be high school students, in which case this concert might be a fundraiser for their school. Regardless of the reason, it’s just another thing that makes Walmart so unique.

That’s One Way To Deal With A Resistant Kid

Photo Credit: funkydowntown.com

What is it about kids and their hatred of grocery shopping? Of course, it’s not the most entertaining activity, but it’s a necessity, and it’s an opportunity for them to grab some of their favorite snacks! However, there are some kids that are simply too resistant to grocery shopping and need to be dragged around the store. This parent is letting their kid slide along behind their cart as they do their shopping. This is super dangerous and very unhygienic. We give this parenting hack zero out of five stars and do not recommend it!

This Isn’t A Shopping Cart!

Photo Credit: peopleofwalmart.com

Now, this is hilarious! A shopper at this Walmart decided to corral their horse in the shopping cart return. While this clearly isn’t a shopping cart, it’s actually a pretty good spot to park your horse. Lots of people in remote areas still travel on their horses, and finding a spot to keep your horse contained can be tricky. At least this way, the horse won’t be in the way of traffic and is being kept safe.

This Is Super Unhygienic

Photo Credit: peopleofwalmart.com

Most people understand you shouldn’t go out in public without shoes on. It’s very unhygienic and unsafe. Our feet aren’t built to walk around without protection. This man decided to go full Cody Lundin and walk around without shoes on. We can only imagine the exasperation the employees must have felt when the realized they’d need to mop the floor extra well after this customer left.

Should Someone Tell Him?

Photo Credit: reddit.com

We’ve all had those nightmares where you exit the bathroom and have a giant length of toilet paper trailing out of your pants or stuck to the bottom of your shoes. Normally, this is a nightmare that doesn’t happen in real life, but this poor customer apparently walked around Walmart without noticing his toilet paper tail. Now comes the awkward questions. Should someone tell him? Or would that just embarrass him further?

Is It Really Peter Parker?

Photo Credit: peopleofwalmart.com

This photo captures the child-like spirit of shoppers at Walmart. Most kids grow up loving the Marvel and DC comic universes, and Spiderman is often a favored superhero for children. After all, his spider-like powers are fascinating, and it’s epic to imagine swinging from rooftops with webs you shoot out of your wrists! Still, this customer may have taken his love of Spiderman a little too far by dressing in the complete Spiderman costume. We wonder how many kids asked to take a picture with their favorite superhero that day!
