Walmart has become one of the most successful companies all over the world. Started in 1962 by Sam Walton, Walmart was incorporated in 1969 and headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas. The big box store has face much criticism during the decades of its existence over issues of paying their employees a living wage, treating their employees poorly, and taking business away from local “Mom & Pop” stores and shutting down entire towns. Walmart has been the center of controversy since its inception and there are no signs of that dwindling anytime soon. Some people work at Walmart as they are just getting into the employment world, while others make a career out of the big box store.
However, you cannot deny that Walmart’s low prices are attractive, and if you’re on limited wages, you can definitely get more for your dollar. With the lower prices, Walmart tends to attract people of all different backgrounds, cultures, and personalities. The beauty of the human race is the fact that we’re all different and have different opinions on what is appropriate and what is not. You can see the living proof of this concept at Walmart on a daily basis, 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Maybe it is the lower prices that attracts all of these different types of people and makes them come together in retail harmony. Or perhaps there is a certain type of person that the store welcomes. Who knows? All we know is that there are some pretty strange people that come to Walmart.
The surge of weirdness has caught national attention and even inspired the website, People of Walmart. There, people have posted photos of weird people in many different states. From wearing weird clothes to going in the buff, from strange hairstyles to offensive tattoos, from bathroom stains to using the bathroom in the parking lot, you can never have a boring time at Walmart. If you ever want to feel better about yourself or feel like you’re not doing well in life, take a trip to Walmart for about an hour and you’ll walk away feeling like you have your life together.
