Shopping at Wal Mart can be stressful, and sometimes you just want to take the edge off. That’s what 42 year old Florida Man James John Perez with a bottle of vodka did last Friday at a Walmart in Sebastian Florida. Sebastian is on the East Coast, just north of Port St. Lucie – I had to look it up.

So last Friday around 2pm, James grabbed a bottle of McCormick Vodka from the liquor store section of the Walmart, along with some roadies – a 6 pack of Smirnoff Ice in the cans. According to the Sebastian Daily “A Walmart employee working the sales floor observed Perez consuming the vodka beverages and placing the empty containers on the shelf. He then walked around the men’s department, put a couple of pairs of socks in his pocket, and discarded the packaging. Perez then put on a pair of pants and tossed the sales tags on the floor.”

When officers arrived on scene James was still roaming the store drinking from a can of Smirnoff Ice. They found on Florida Man – three pairs of socks, a half empty bottle of McCormick Vodka, scissors, a pocket knife, and a few other things. He was wearing the pants he stole and had used the scissors to cut off the tags. Grand total? $61.91.

Apparently, this #FloridaMan was originally from Los Angeles.

But I’ll bet he fit right in!

Where was online news clickbait before the arrival of Florida Man?

$61.91. That’s not a bad deal, actually.

Did he look like this?

Things are coming full circle. California was a beautiful place before the other states starting sending their homegrown hippies, loonies and losers there. Now after ruining the place and percolating a few generations to intensify the resulting gene pool, California is returning the favor.

I went to that website. He looks like somebody who lives in the back seat of somebody else’s flat bed truck.

It looks like she has a couple of breathing slits or extra nostrils right above her eyes.

I never saw any alcohol in any Walmart until I went to a then girlfriends hometown in Sonora and saw an incredible Tequila shelf at the local Walmart.

It depends on state regulations and (possibly) local permitting practices.
Here in Indiana, a lot of the WMs have beer, wine, and hard liquor. Aldi has beer and wine but no booze.

After checking the web site out, I see what you mean, with that picture of him there without a mask, and I agree with you.

(At least after drinking the vodka, he didn't go to the Walmart bottle/can return, and try to get a nickel or dime back for each of his empty bottles.)

My Wal-Mart super center in Warrington, FL has beer and wine.

Surely Florida isn’t stupid enough to have bottle deposits, is it? Nothing dumber than seeing long lines of people at Meijer in Michigan waiting and waiting to turn in their stash of bottles.

[Songcraft]

Looking closely at her there, I think you are right.   She can keep on breathing, even with the masks on. (And she probably has large empty spaces there behind those slits, where she can thoroughly process the air vapors.)

[Songcraft]

Not sure about Florida.   I know what you mean about stores where people bring huge cartloads of bottles and cans to return for money.   Some of those stores post a $25 limit per visit, but I don't believe everyone obeys that limit.

They might also be heat sensing pits to aid in tracking prey.

Walmart memo: “Watch the Skyy. Everywhere. Keep looking. Keep watching the Skyy!”

[BipolarBob]

Was that wrong? Should he have not done that? I gotta plead ignorance here. Where i come from this happens all the time. it’s sorta accepted.

Some Walmarts sell Vodka?????????
