But my husband is from the semi-rural South, where often Wal-Mart is pretty much the only option, and I'v'e noticed a big difference between the Wal-Marts there and the Wal-Marts here. My theory is that when Wal-Mart is the only big store around and everyone goes there, it's like any other store - but when it's only one choice among many, you tend to see some...interesting people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277627 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:20:24 +0000 Maya 277627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that article, Beth. I don't think it will happen. At least I sure hope not. I really loathe that store, for numerous reasons that I won't get into here. I don't cast judgment on people who shop there, though. They are just trying to get by and save money. I totally get it. But I think if you can afford to shop elsewhere, you should--and most NYers can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277617 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:10:42 +0000 Kari 277617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been to Wal-Mart exactly once - literally, for 3 1/2 hours. (I was with someone who takes about 10 times as long to shop as I do, and didn't have my own car.)<br /> I don't know that I could stand going again for that reason only. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277554 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 00:34:35 +0000 taylor 277554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went into a Wal-Mart for the first time this year and it wasn't so bad. People from all walks....just like everywhere else:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277526 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 00:09:46 +0000 Angie 277526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, our closest Walmart is an hour away by car and I DO NOT like to drive. At all. Not even for cheap Cheetos, Beth </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277515 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 23:56:17 +0000 Tara 277515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-( I feel sorry for some of the people :-(</p> <p>One the one hand, it is cruel and an invasion of privacy to take someone's pic without them knowing.</p> <p>On the other, if you're in the public domain you're fair game in a sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277349 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 18:34:08 +0000 Steph 277349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you Anne! Although the peopleofwalmart website can be good for a laugh, it does seems awfully mean-spirited to me. And the idea of taking a photo of someone because they look horrible makes me uncomfortable. What if the person turned around and saw you doing it? </p> <p>I don't usually shop at Walmart (and the stories of how they treat their workers are legendary), but there have been times I have had to stop in for something when desperate. I have seen some people who look a bit sloppy, but nothing worse than that. I did, however, see a woman wearing her pajamas in public at a nice shop in downtown DC the other day. I did not take her photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277317 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 16:31:07 +0000 marianna 277317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny. I live in a relatively nice neighborhood, but once I step foot into our local Walmart, it's like I've been transported to a completely differently world. You do see some very bad fashion and odd people. The only reason I shop at Walmart occasionally is because of some of the great deals. Basic toiletries and household items are less expensive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277313 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 16:20:35 +0000 Anonymous 277313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These kinds of pics just make me sad and realize how fortunate I am to be mentally healthy, relatively well-off and living on the planet Earth (because clearly, some of these people are not). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277285 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 14:44:15 +0000 Beth 277285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I avoid Walmart whenever possible for a variety of reasons, some more noble than others.</p> <p>Although I'll bet they have very good prices on Cheetos, Angie. *giggle*</p> <p>And don't count Walmart out in NYC:<br /> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/13/nyregion/13walmart.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12.....lmart.html</a></p> <p>The opposition sounds very like many previous fights to keep the chain out of historic areas and quaint small towns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277282 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 14:12:38 +0000 Ljubica 277282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen some similar pictures before, and they remind me of the nightmares in which you suddenly notice that you had left your home naked.

I took one look at a woman wearing rollers in her hair and pajama bottoms and just turned around and walked back out - come to find out, I really wasn't that desperate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-277220 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 06:05:16 +0000 AJ 277220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa - aside from the bottoms hanging out, I've never seen any of these other fashion crimes and I've been to Walmart many times and even at 2am. (Some are open 24 hours.) You would probably walk around in amazement at how big these stores are. I guess we Americans have big stores to go with our large food portions.</p> <p>Angie - What happened to leaving no store unturned? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-276656 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 01:36:33 +0000 Jonesy 276656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I worked at Walmart once, after college and before grad school, unloading freight at night (my shift was 9 pm until 9 am, or until the semi-truck was completely empty--there was a new truck full of merchandise every night). They treat employees poorly, as you might imagine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-276653 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 01:31:13 +0000 Maya 276653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the many reasons I love being in New York is because I'm spared the horrors of Walmart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-276650 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 01:24:08 +0000 biscuitsmom 276650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LMAO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-276644 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 01:07:45 +0000 Angie 276644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good thing Angie has never been to Walmart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-must-never-go-to-walmart#post-276643 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 01:05:58 +0000 nicoleb 276643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol it looks like a lot of it was complied from "thepeopleofwalmart" site and just put together to look cohesive.</p> <p>Walmart is really the only main store they have in the town where i work so i actually end up going there a lot lol.
