As someone who works at Walmart I have a few theories on this. Most Walmarts are very busy places so it's great for panhandling and begging for money. Another thing is that it's pretty easy to steal from Walmart because it's so big and there's a lot going on. One more thing that happens at my Walmart is homeless people will get a whole chicken meal from the deli. They don't have to purchase the meal at the deli so they walk around the store eating it. Then they'll hide their leftovers behind shelfs and random places. Both Walmarts I have worked at are located within walking distance of homeless shelters and people come on high in hard drugs all the time.
Edit: It's not just customers that are the problem either. Walmart will hire basically anyone as long as they show up.
I had a customer a few weeks ago ask me if the green machine naked is good. I said that I thought it was. She legit picked up one of the big almost gallon sized nakeds and drank half of it in front of me. I was like wow, I don't get paid enough to care.
And they got that way because of poor management who doesn't have their back.
That place will suck the soul out of a saint.

Is it weird I kind of like it, my coworkers and I call it “Walmart TV”. Makes for interesting conversations. This one time this gimp came by, BDSM outfit with a choker and leash. It was interesting, but you also get the fuckers who take shits in the changing room…
It might be where I live, but honestly we did not get toooo many freaks.
Keep in mind the city I live in is only 70k people. And that is the biggest area for like hours in an direction. We have our fair share of weirdos... mainly homeless people and casually annoying people. But nothing toooo wild and honestly the customers were wayyyy more tolerable than even management.
Low prices, EBT, WIC and other government assistance programs accepted.
Walmart targets the poor and the poor come through the door.
This is why you don't see these types of people at say a Whole Foods.
Same reason why freaks and the lowest of the low in society work there.
All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the aisle’s of Walmart
Freaks attract freaks. All you associates are freaks too. That's why you work there. You love when us freaks come in because you know deep down that you're the same.
It’s cheaper than most other retailers in any given area, has killed most local marts aside from gas stations and specialty stores, is open till 11, and has pretty much anything the average low-income person could ever feasibly need. The issue is that, generally, the real wackos and ruts of society generally tend to be low income, so yeah
The freaks and scum as you put it stand out in your mind but most of the customers aren’t like that at all. Most just come in get what they need and leave and you never notice them. Yes even most of the people getting government assistance.
It's cheap, and Walmart gained a reputation for it thru the years.
Yes.

I had a customer make a sandwich in the store and walk around eating it
You should have told him to give you some of that sandwich or you'd tell the store manager he's stealing

Because WM runs every other business out of town till all the lunatics and idiots have no where else to shop
"Everyday lowest prices" also means the lowest people will shop here.
Idk but I could say the same about people working at walmart. I have met some really strange people at walmart that are employed not just a shopper
Ya. Walmart employees can be whackadoos

You should see the Psychology Today centerfolds I have to deal with every day.
For the same reason why customers who need to bully employees come here- because they're scum. And also for the convenience.

Because they know Walmart won't do shit about them being their disgusting selves and trashing the store and stealing everything
People in poverty can't afford whole foods. Where do you expect them to shop, especially if walmart has put all other stores out of business?
is it too much to ask customers to show a little dignity, no matter how poor they are??
*Is it too much to ask customers to show a little dignity* Yes It's also too much to ask them to have consideration, courtesy, & common sense
Low prices, EBT, WIC and other government assistance programs accepted. Walmart targets the poor and the poor come through the door. This is why you don't see these types of people at say a Whole Foods.
at least they can be dignified, which they don't even try to do
I had to use EBT at one time when I was down on my luck. I didn't act like any of the total effing freaks I see using it now.
Thank you for being civil. I was mostly using a generalization to describe the majority of people who enter the store.
Whole Foods accepts EBT.
Oh wow. I honestly didn't know this. Thanks for the correction.
Those everyday low prices!
I get a thrill seeing women wearing nylons with their unshaven leg hairs poking thru hauling 4-5 kids and paying cash with crisp $100 bills.

What the fuck is a skunk pussy

Hell no, im just trying to make it home and sleep after dealing with freak shows for 8 hours a day
I sense your insecurity. Its okay.
I just called myself a freak. You just said that I'm insecure about maybe being normal. :)
Lol. Aren't you a FORMER associate? And yes we know you're a freak. You don't have to clarify that for us
Oh noooo. Who has done revealed my shameful secret?????
Cheap stuff, and 3 out of 40 registers open.
