Walmart is one of America's largest big box retailers. According to their website, Walmart has 8,400 retail stores in fifteen countries. A cross-section of America walks through Walmart's doors every day. These are some of the people photographed inside Walmart.

I’ve often thought of starting a “State Worker Safari” site like that, documenting some of the desk hippos I see around my state capital. They don’t dress as creatively as the folks on the Walmart site, but given their width-to-height ratio, they don’t have to!
Oh my........
I am trying to understand the picture in your post #50. Does the woman have 2 heads or are there 2 people wearing the same shirt or is that a baby (with a huge head) she has in her shirt?
breastfeeding! kid is probably 3!
Is the person with the maroon shirt a man or woman? I can’t tell.
As a person of academia who holds a brown belt in Isshinryu karate, works out 4x a week and hikes when it’s not too hot, I say...you’ve gotten your education from talk radio, not college.
Goodness, we wouldn’t want to hike when it’s too hot, now would we?
I make a habit of not hiking when the mercury rises above 100 degrees.
I figured that bait would bring you out of your den.
I repeat: you’re over 50 and badly educated. If you knew anything about university women, you’d know that the foreign language departments are chock full of hotties. It’s almost white knuckle time.
History departments, not so much. We’re a bunch of white guys. Pretty dull, except for the AA drones.
A brown belt in karate and working out four days a week must really help with the hotties in the foreign language department.
Wal-Mart can solve this problem overnight but instituting a dress code. Shoppers may not enter the store without business attire. Wal-Mart would quickly gain a reputation as being a classy place to shop and attract a more prosperous clientele.
This would eliminate the riff-raff overnight and Wal-Mart would be able to start stocking some quality merchandise at higher prices (and higher margins).
It's a win-win for everybody.
I’m married, and usually too busy to as much as flirt with those ladies. Besides, they’d want me to use my very weak spanish or french. No way I’d humiliate myself like that.
They’re spunky, though. I often think about taking the anti-intellectual freeper contingent through the foreign language department to shut them up once and for all about “homely academics.”
The psych ladies are largely hot, too, but looney as all get out. Some freeper prejudices would be acknowledged with that bunch.
It must be nice to work for a small college where you can meet everybody their, especially the hotties! They would be very surprised to know that your a lousy FReeper troll, lol.
We have several tens of thousands of students at our school. Our history department, alone, numbers over two hundred.
And there are four Freepers here, that I know personally (possibly more who don’t want to be id’d).
And I’m not a troll. Heterodoxy does not equal troll, though perhaps resistance to freeper groupthink does.
Warchild9: Reagan Republican and free-thinker since...has it really been that long? Ow!
Well, you’re entirely too full of yourself to have even landed a temp instructor gig at State, but you’re such a self-conscious striver wearing your trifling status markers on your sleeve that the Carolina crowd wouldn’t get beyond stifling a guffaw.
So, I’m stumped. A closet FReeper, and a very rude and presumptuous one at that, who purports to teach history at a large NC university in the Triangle area, a former pharmaceutical snakeoil salesman who touts his karate prowess and lurks around departments to which he doesn’t belong, ogling women?
Pardon me, but it doesn’t sound to me as if you’re familiar with an academic environment at all. Either you actually are a troll and have made all of this oddly adolescent-sounding personal history up, or you’re not nearly so bright as you’d like to believe.

I say bravo to the average and slightly below average people of Walmart. Probably sounds crazy, but I have literally had to force back tears before when shopping at Walmart just from looking at the abundance on display there and the good quality and good value they offer to average joe types (and everybody else too). I think of how blessed we are to live in a time and a place where such abundance is just normal. I used to work with a guy who brought his family over from Cuba in the mid 1990s. He said when he got here his kids (two young sons) would just marvel — literally with mouths agape — at the well stocked aisles at Walmart. So God bless Walmart, God bless capitalism, and God bless America I say.
You:
over 50
badly educated
Palin cultist (same thing)
double poster!
I know what I am...and what you are, too! nyah nyah
/you started the ad hominem attacks
//I won’t reveal my school because there are creepy freeper stalkers by the dozen...or some, anyway...
///sorry I used the big words earlier
You, over 40 but lie about it hence the obsession with age, neoprene bike pants wearer, embarass yourself constantly but it zooms right over your head. Former fattie, now militant narcissist and vegetarian. You think no one notices when you pass gas.
Bravo! indeed.
But I don’t mind getting a chuckle from the denizens there now and again. As the curmudgeonly Sage of Baltimore, H.L. Mencken said, “No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.”
People of Wal-Mart is the photodocumentation that this truism holds 6 or more decades later. And Wal-Mart is anything but broke, which gives them the last laugh at anyone laughing at Wal-Mart as a result of some of their clientele.
Yeah, I don’t mind getting a chuckle from them either. I’ve seen some pretty far out people at Walmart. But we all gotta get through this ol’ life one way or another, and we can’t all be glamorous types.
