Dead deer in Walmart shopping cart surprises Short Pump shoppers
Richmond Times-Dispatch ^ | November 16, 2016 | Brandon Shulleeta

A customer of the Walmart in Short Pump said she was surprised Tuesday evening when she saw a man drinking what appeared to be liquor inside the store — but that surprise turned to bewilderment when she also spotted a dead deer in a shopping cart.

Denise Collier-Bailey said she and her teenage daughter were at the Walmart about 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, returning an item to the store, when they spotted the bloody deer carcass in a shopping cart as two men sat nearby at the entrance of the store, casually talking and laughing. Collier-Bailey’s daughter took photos of the peculiar sight.

“It’s just one of those crazy Walmart pictures,” Collier-Bailey said. “If I hadn’t been there to witness it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Maybe the Deer was just taking a nap. Judging from the ‘relaxed’ position with feet propped up high. One almost expected to hear the Deer snoring and whistling.

Last rumor I heard, it was a drunken, possibly homeless type who picked up an animal that had been killed on the road & not being in a sound frame of mind, he loaded it up & rolled it into Walmart. No idea if this is true or not, but it’s got at least as much truth as saying it was “hunters”.

“It appears that the hunters were trying to follow the law by checking in the harvested deer but were not at an approved check station,” spokesman Robert Lee Walker Jr. said Wednesday. “However, I do not know that to be the fact.”


A hold-mah-beer moment.

I recently played tennis with a Mr. Dear. Years back his wife hit a deer with her car and called the police and said “I am Ms. Dear and I am calling to report a dead deer”. The police sent an officer out to investigate.

When the officer arrived, the husband identified himself as Mr. Dear. “Boy, I sure am glad to see you and that you are ok”, the officer said.

Customer: I’d like to return this Deer.

Walmart: Why?

Customer: Because it’s dead.

Walmart: We don’t sell live Deer.

Customer: Okay, it died on the way home, can I at least get Store Credit?

On the few times I've been to a Wal-Mart, I've never seen crazy people, weird things or had anything bizarre happen. I feel so deprived...

Carting a deer sure beats dragging it....

Been there done that... both cart and dragging... but we put bicycle wheels on the shopping cart and used it like a rickshaw to get the deer out of state game lands where no vehicles were allowed..

Consider yourself lucky. While visiting family in Mass. last year I was treated to the sight of a slightly paunchy middle-aged man wearing a cute knee-length sleeveless sundress. Yuck.

LOL! Glad I missed that!!
I don’t spend much time there: in to get what I exactly need (sweat socks, underwear) and back out. No loitering.

This is about as funny as when I was driving my pickup truck through Texas on I-40 and picked up a few dead armadillos.

Drove straight through to Pennsylvania, and upon returning I threw the dead armadillos in the back of friends pickup trucks at the local watering hole... the Redneck Inn (our name for it)....

even left one in my truck for cover.... never did tell them where they came from.
