Wal-Mart Ghetto Trash Sightings

[greensinestro]

They not only hang out at the regular Wal-Mart. They also hang out at those new neighborhood grocery (ghetto) stores. And, I think they're worse at the grocery stores now than the other ones.

Example: I walked out the other day, and this dude was literally harassing this woman to give him a dollar. "Come on, lady, it's just one dollar!" She kept ignoring him, yet he would not go away. Now, the part that got me was this guy's appearance. He had a shaven head on top, but a ring of hair around it. I'm not talking one that normal bald guys have. I'm talking a ring that looked like what encircles Saturn! IT was hair that was combed out, obviously sprayed with some kind of freeze gel, and left to look like an asteroid belt around the planet. Plus he was wearing a nice t-shirt, jeans, and shoes. Not sure why he was panhandling at all.

Another example: Why do some of the nastiest and unhandsome people feel the need to wear as little clothing as possible? I saw a lady with a space between her two front teeth, oversized jogging pants with holes that you could see her vericose veins through, flip flops where you could see six month's worth of grease and gunk under her toenails, and hair that obviously had not been washed in weeks. Gah! Not to menion the "Hey, Raymond! We need to buy some more cheese for the burgers tonight!" from six aisles away.

I like Wal-Mart for their discounts on things like chips, but I think I may go back to Publix from now on. People are better to look at there.

My answer to the first "yep, and it's a dollar I earned, wasn't given it, so I'm keepin' it".

Have you checked out the website that's devoted to pics of people shopping there? I've seen plenty in our fairly conservative area that definitely qualify for the website - don't know where these people come from, I never see them in other stores, maybe they breed them in the back

I love peopleofwalmart.

I've gone there after work looking not my best, but even on my worst day, my clothes still fit, I'm not causing a scene, and I'm not a sight for sore eyes.

I don't understand going out the house in rags and ill-fitting clothes. I get that people wear workout clothes on the way to or from the gym, or maybe for comfort, but I don't want to see gigantic tees-made-into-tanks that show me the whole side section of your bra. I don't want to see your ugly bra straps, either. I don't want to see the remains of last night's dinner on your sweats or your underwear through the holes in them. Not everyone can be super-attractive, but make some kind of effort to be decent. Non-holey, unstained clothing can be found in thrift stores. I sometimes run to Walmart in pajamas (sweats and tank top or tee), but they're cute and at least match, not the worn or holey ones.

I always make it a point to dress look decent when I go to walmart lest someone tries to take my picture and put it up on peopleofwalmart.

The last time I was there while checking out I was behind a girl who looked like she rolled out of bed. She literally wore her pajamas to shop. Scooby doo bottoms, slippers, robe and all. I just don't get it.

[Akasa]

While I admit to wearing pajama bottoms as pants with a t-shirt I do not wear a robe and slippers with them. Most are plaid, one is blue with clouds.

Much as I like it's concept, I will not be going back to peopleofwalmart.com -- that site gave me the "Windows Security Anti-Virus" virus. Twice. I won't give it a third chance.

Note: if you get that damned thing, I had to run MalwareBytes in Windows "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" - not something your average computer user would know how to do. Not worth the laugh of seeing Masha (from M.Y.T.H. Inc) in her bright orange bikini on her 500 lb frame...

Thankfully most people at our local Walmart seem to know how to dress themselves properly (at least while I'm there). But there have been a few incidents, both there and at the two stores where I worked.

Most memorable is this one pair of "ladies" at the store I worked at in my parents' hometown while I was still single. They looked like a mother-daughter pair, but the daughter of the two had to have been at least in her forties (or a ten-pack-a-day-style smoker), and her mother at least 70 (grey and wrinkly, and not in the the "just barely settling into Grandma-hood" way either). Both women were wearing tight pants and matching tube tops, and it was painfully obvious that neither had bothered with any sort of bra, strapless or otherwise. Seriously, the top of the older woman's tube top was situated well below where her chest should have been, she was that saggy. ::twitch:: You want to wear clothes like that? Fine. But at least try to wear them in a way that's flattering, not trashy.

The next that I really recall was from the store I worked while pregnant, not too far from where we live now. This time it was a somewhat overweight girl, but instead of dressing to flatter her figure like so many other hefty people do (like my sister), she decided to go for the "doughy skank" look. Her "shirt" consisted of a mostly see-through white tank top, at least a size too small, with a dark-colored bra underneath that the whole world could see because the bra was bigger than the top half of the tank top. On top of that was a sheer sweater that was perhaps two sizes too small, and fastened with only one button in the front, so its only purpose appeared to be to cover the girl's shoulders (but its sheerness kind of defeated that purpose). It didn't look attractive, it just looked trashy, and showed off her underwear to the whole store.

And then there was a woman in our local store just the other day who apparently decided that underwear is now for public viewing. It took me a moment to realize why her white tank top looked off and a bit dirty, until she turned and I saw that her tank top was pretty much see-through. The "dirt" was her skintone showing through, and I could make out every detail on the back of her bra from 20 feet away. What's with the visible underwear, people?

[MoonCat]

From these descriptions, I'd say we should be glad these people are actually wearing any underwear.

...tube top was situated well below where her chest should have been...

Ever try shopping for a 64GGXXL?

I just returned from a visit to th' local Inbred Carnival (), and observed the following:

• A Lexus SUV parked across four spaces.
• A disturbing number of people sporting pajamas. I witnessed a guy and a girl, who must've been a couple. The girl was dressed nicely, like she had just gotten out of the office for the day. The guy? Wifebeater, plaid pajama pants and slippers.
• A crotchety old fart, somewhat less than fully stocked in the teeth and brains departments, standing in the self-checkout line with a cart full of groceries, bellowing "I danno how to work these things! I wanna cashier, gawdammit!" Apparently not comprehending that in order to have a cashier check out his groceries, he'd have to move to a different line.

I routinely park across 2 spaces (end-to-end) at a local shopping centre, but my truck (long-wheelbase highway tractor) is too long to fit in a single space. No, I'm not parking overnight - I'm taking care of personal business at stores which are in the shopping centre. There's no way a light-duty vehicle should take twice as many spaces as I do.

If I were to park crosswise, I'd take up 4 spaces - that Lexus was clearly abandoned in such a way as to use up as many spaces as possible.

Wolfie, you we can understand. OTR truckers need to eat and can't necessarily eat every single meal at a restaurant. It sounds like you're responsible about it, parking your tractor in only two spaces and I assume farther out in the lot, out of prime real estate.

I know what the Lexus owner was thinking. He clearly wanted people to stay the hell away from, yet still see, his precious, overpriced, gas eating billboard to advertize his small dick. By parking across four spots, he's built a buffer zone of about five feet to either side of his car and sixish feet to the front and rear, both to buffer against the possibility of door dings, and to give people a place to stand to admire such a status symbol of a vehicle and take pity on him for his diminuitive member.

Knowing why he does it doesn't equal appreciation. I don't think he's a special person to be admired. I think he's a stuck-up asshole. With a small dick.

That deserves to be parked next to.....and maybe with a few shopping carts around his car.....

As a cart-pusher at "X-MART", there have been at least a dozen times in the past year that I've been aware of a bunch of idiots hanging around the parking lot and trying to panhandle change from passing customers. Each time, a customer has come to me with great concern because the people look like they'd drop you with a punch if you refused them, so I would take the issue up with my assistant manager, who would then show up and patrol the lot with me to drive these guys out. Given my record of having previously served in the Army, the manager asked me last time to help him out in case the panhandler tries to start trouble since I have a way of intimidating people that like to start a fight. No problems whatsoever! But these stupid panhandlers should just go out and get a JOB if they're so desperate for money.
