What's The Dumbest Thing You've Seen At Walmart? (r/AskReddit)

at Walmart I overheard a woman asking for water filters that don't use carbon when the Clarks asked why she said I'm actually allergic to carbon with it what's the dumbest thing you've ever heard seen at Walmart I saw this young couple giggling touching having a nice time all the sudden the guy gets on one knee and starts proposing right by the pop-tarts and the chick starts freaking out not in Walmart you idiot I am NOT getting engaged in Walmart at least the gal had class after buying Menna travel-sized Sandra's the cashier asked where we were going we told her that were going to Europe then she asked if we spoke Europe I had no idea what to say one of my friends bought a package of donuts and the cashier opened the box and poked a couple of the donuts for no reason whatsoever yep these are definitely not bagels once I saw a woman standing in front of a shelf of hard taco shelves complaining to an employee that they don't have any soft taco shells when the employee asked her she meant tortillas the lady said no she wanted a shell in the condom area I overheard a bf/gf discussing their private life she didn't seem like she wanted to Frick bill he insisted because if he doesn't Frick he gets blue balls in which he has to make tiny cuts on his balls to drain the bad blood and she believed him abstinence only adult education claims another victim would you like a free sample of this is it free it's free after you pay for it I once had a guy who got SuperDuper pee at me for asking if he was paying credit or debit he wanted to quote do i tee myself he then went on to explain yell that he had never ever ever of abeam ask that question and it was an invasion on his privacy later he suggested I go fornicate my mother it was also Christmas Eve last-minute Christmas shopping brings the best out of people I went to Walmart once on a hot rainy Florida summer afternoon this massive thunderstorm was outside in the power kept going out there were grown men screaming at the top of their lungs at least the thunderstorm didn't get inside my husband's cousin was a stocker at Walmart he likes to tell the story of one time he was stocking the water Ireland an old woman came up to him asking if he could run in the back to get her a fresh case of water he asked her how did she determine which was the freshest water she replied that when she shook the water it had bubbles in it he went into the back grabbed the nearest case of water for her and she was very happy at my local Walmart we have a subway near the front doors whilst ordering myself a sub this rather large woman in front of me order to XL diet cokes with and I quote no ice because my husband and I are allergic to ice the worker and myself both burst into spontaneous laughter until said worker looked at the customer quickly stopped their laughter and said oh you weren't joking I continued to laugh the whole way to the car at least there allergy doesn't react to it after it melts only in murica lots of questionable parenting last night I made a late Walmart run around 10:30 in front of me in line was a woman who had her infant son in the little baby seat part of the cart but now when I say infant I mean he couldn't have been older than four or five months if he wasn't in a baby seat he wasn't strong enough to sit up on his own for long periods of time and he was clearly very tired he kept flopping over because there was nothing supporting him and trying to fall asleep and his mom kept pushing him back into a sitting position and poking at him saying wake up we ain't home yet a friend asked her if he was falling over because he was tired and she responded with no he just all floppy cuz he oh baby not to mention the four or five year old girl that was bouncing around with a candy bar TL DR bad parenting I once saw an obese woman beating a child probably five six years old with a loaf of Wonder bread that was still in the plastic I just kind of stood there and gorked for a minute while my brain struggled to rationalize what my eyes were seeing to be fair it wouldn't really work if it was out of the plastic I went in there to buy cat food a while back in the mail cash earrings up my 13 pounds bag of cat kibble and just stands there and stares for what seemed like forever before saying so you got cats nope just refilling the traps I'm probably one of the dumb people someone has seen when my daughter was one I had her in a spaghetti strapped dress and while I was looking for a certain shampoo she pulled her dress down so people walking by saw a one year old girl basically make it in a basket I saw lady giving me the eye and gave her a what is your problem look then I turned around and saw my naked butt daughter in my basket she hasn't worn that kind of dress since my trucks crashed my boat trailer is in the ditch and I'm s faced word for word what a guy on a cell phone said as I walked by him going into Walmart someone find this guy and teach him guitar we have a country music hit on our hands after 20 minutes of of me and another guy trying to find someone in sports outdoors he goes to pay for his stuff first he wasn't buying anything that needed to be purchased at that counter he asks to separate his stuff into two purchases for the first purchase he does cash back from his debit card for the second purchase he uses all of that cash but his short and needs to pay the rest with his debit card the second purchase was running shoes I bet the guy was trying to prevent a paper trail on one of his purchases people bartering the prices while at the register like the kid that the register can barter and approved crisis I think I used the word barter wrong I mean people trying to negotiate the prices while at the register I went into Walmart to return a stewpot with receipt in hand the employee accused me of coming into the store with only the receipt and getting the stewpot off the shelf it was just after Christmas and I had no idea the return line was so long that the end of it was outside I finally convinced her to look at the video footage and then she gave up on pursuing her accusation I will never go to Walmart again row I can't think of a faster way to get to write up went pretty much any retail establishment than by accusing someone of theft with no proof man forget going to the clubs when I want to meet someone new I get a basket and walk around Walmart all the women be at Walmart saw a pregnant woman who could have given birth at any moment wearing a shirt he must have bought immediately after her first ultrasound at a few weeks on the shirt was a picture of the ultrasound stretched very taut across about the top third of her impregnated belly with the rest hanging out for all to bear witness there was text above the picture that read mommy's angel in comics on or some ridiculous font good lord I hate Walmart not at Walmart but a guy in front of me to get coffee once ordered a black coffee with milk and sugar I could not for the life of me figure out what he thought a black coffee was used to work at a coffee shop and I had a few co-workers who would ask if someone wanted cream and sugar when the customer ordered black coffee I totally dropped out of college to stay home with the dog 99% certain it was a joke but just 99% I saw the kid take a fat dump in one of the aisles like flat out in the middle of the aisle the kid was about 10 or 11 I was shocked then I saw the mom come looking really Piaf but what did she say common audible you doing that here shame on you do it in a corner next time freaking Walmart so while this lady said it really stupidly probably because she doesn't understand her analogy there are people who are allergic to the standard carbon filters in water filters but they are actually allergic to the fact that they are traditionally made from petroleum-based carbon there are alternatives such as coconut shell based carbon filters for those people I just googled allergic carbon water filter or something like that and saw an advert coconut based water filters that said that most other water filters were petroleum based and that coconut based can be better for people with allergies I then posted this and didn't expected to get anywhere near the amount of attention it got TL DR I'm probably wrong the replies to me are probably right or she had some other reason that she didn't feel like explaining and she went with I'm allergic because it rarely invites follow-up questions till the Walmarts in my region are normal more self-introspection might be required just yesterday we were in line with a younger couple who had a newborn looking baby my daughter 3 wanted to look so I politely asked them if my daughter could look at their baby the lady says yes she can look here I ll get her out her name is a Nastasia serenity faith I nodded thinking this chick is crazy she yanked this baby right on out of its car seat and propped her up on her stomach we said thank you and she kept on going telling me how her baby is only 8 weeks old and how advanced cheese such as already talking skipped cooing and went straight to walking she is telling me the Saint week old baby is climbing up on two tables already and skipped crawling as well there sure are some nutty but people out there heck this just happened on Friday popped in a Walmart to see if we needed anything and sure enough I found a movie I wanted grab the thing and went to stand in one of the many really long lines I got in the 15 items or less line thinking it would have to be faster than the other lines when I realized there were a lot of carts but not many people in said line turns out the lady at the front had not one full cart not two but three full carts of stuff another line opened and I got in that one when I got to the front I was informed I'd have to go to the electronics section to get the case removed from my movie I went back there and couldn't find anyone working the section after ten minutes of looking I grabbed a stuck person to ask where the electronics person was and he pointed over by the TVs it was a guy normal street clothes watching TV with one of his buddies dart I watched a lady walk through the pharmacy department twice before she approached me and asked where the pharmacy was I told her to turn around and it still took her a moment to register what she was looking at also it's worth noting the pharmacy at our Walmart is in the middle of the store so it's like a building within a building with huge signs on all four sides that's not a pharmacy overheard in the checkout line teen girl one I'm going to Arizona Texas over summer vacation teen girl - I don't think Arizona is in Texas teen girl one yeah it is it's like the capital of Texas or something I used a cashier at Walmart at one point checking out a customer I look down to see her child licking the conveyer belt she was completely oblivious I had lots of other stories from that job but most are more horrifying and less dumb when I worked at CVS I had a customer complaining to a random person about nasal sprays saying she doesn't want all those additives in them and just want something basic with salt and water and was upset they were putting things like sodium chloride in it fathom sodium chloride and a hydrogen monoxide I made the unfortunate mistake of ending up in line behind a coupon a once at Walmart I had probably 20 items she had probably 35 and she handled and bitched about the discounts on every single coupon the cashier was actually relieved by someone else during this one customer because it took probably 20 minutes to get her out of the store and it was busy as Frick so I was essentially trapped by the three people behind me anyway she finally finished checking out in the store manager came over to me and thanked me for my patience then gave me $10 off of my total order which was fine I guess but I've never wanted to see someone die so much in my life I mean hey great you saved $35 on fudge stripes you horrible inconsiderate piece of crap as a former Walmart cashier I hated people like that especially when half the coupons are expired or for crap they didn't buy so glad I don't work that job anymore I work in the dairy Department was stocking the yogurt one day and a hand reaches right in front of my face so that she could get the one she wanted I stepped back all too used to people being too impatient to just let me finish the one case I'm stocking and the lady then proceeded to explain why she was buying said yogurt this one is my cat's favorite she said with this creepy smile I couldn't figure out which was worse the fact that this lady clearly was way too obsessed with her cats that she's buying them yogurt the fact that you should not feed a cat dairy products at all to the best of my understanding or the fact that her cat had somehow conveyed to her how much she enjoyed the light Apple turnover flavor I worked at Walmart for six months the dumbest thing I ever saw at Walmart was Walmart specifically their theft policy if you want to steal crap do it from Walmart there's literally nothing we can do about it even if I physically observe you putting something into your pocket I still can't do anything but we have a single secret shopper and he's the only human in the entire building that can hold you for police but even he has to witness you do it so if I see you do it and he walks up and I go hey Jon that guy put something in his pockets just now I saw it doesn't matter even if it's on camera doesn't matter if a regular employee sees you doesn't matter this one single human in all of Walmart has to physically observe you taking it our only line of defense is aggressive hospitality so yeah if a Clark sees you put something into your pocket we are instructed to walk over and say can I help you find anything we have to offer the thieves our assistance I always thought this was hilarious not only can we not do anything we have to offer help another thing that always blew my mind was stolen credit cards I would have at least twice a day someone come in and just swipe credit card after credit card one after another all with different numbers it would go like this declined declined declined declined declined accepted and there was literally nothing I could do about it we're not allowed to ask for it unless prompted by the register as in alcohol or cigarettes I had so many type ads get stolen this way freaking people all of the information I've relayed here I learned an orientation it was all told to me by one person so if that person was personally mistaken on any of their policies I don't know but she seemed to know her crap and she was running the orientations after all also when this theft policy came up I asked a lot of questions I was baffled by what she told me so I asked more the more I asked the more I was informed how little we could should actually do what I wrote above is literally exactly how it was explained to me I'm sure a lot of other stores in other states do it a little different these were just the rules as they were relayed to me at my particular Walmart Supercenter also the credit card thing happened my first night on the floor and every subsequent night for the six months I worked there so the secret shopper is the one that told me that I should not be worried I didn't do anything wrong because I can only ask for it if the register prompts me obviously this might not be Walmart's policy in writing but it is indeed what I was told by an authority figure and it's the mentality that every other co-worker I ever saw work a register in electronics had as well take it all with a grain of salt afore you go stuffing crap in your pockets and walmart is all I'm trying to say but I'm definitely not lying walked past someone on the phone oh you stopped by the house today didn't nobody home didn't nobody home with all that Georgia on her mind I guess there was no room for any of those English lessons I believe she meant wasn't for a bus in Chicago I saw a woman ask another woman WH Oh name do i t got in regard to her baby be TL DR who name do it got I overheard a conversation between two customers and three cashiers over which flag it was that hung over the doorway while staring at it they guessed Mexican Spanish Canadian British Confederate in Japanese it was the Alabama state flag we were in Alabama comma we were in Alabama well there's your problem I saw a really obese woman in one of the motorized carts parroting her skinny redneck husband Phil grabbing the wrong kind off pills she keeps screaming I need my crap pills I live in the south and these were about the most redneck people I ever saw I work on the overnight shift as a stocker and every night I find random stuff from all over the store crammed in the back of the shelves people will get a basket fill it up with items such as bikinis toothpaste DVDs Russian ammunition three times now etc and just cram it in say the shelves in the paper towel aisle the worst was a week ago when I realized that they had been a strange smell and the chemicals all that I was working that had persisted for about the last month I finally identified the source of the odor to be a ham from the deli departments that had expanded and looked like a balloon due to the massive amounts of bacteria that had grown over time so would it tell your family and friends do not throw random junk especially meat from all over the store into random shelves my brother taught me a game to play in Walmart called that my Pokemon the goal is to find the weirdest dumbest looking person in the store and claim them as your Pokemon everyone only gets one Pokemon the and you can't take back a time I know it's horrible but we've had some pretty hilarious rounds this sir is a disgrace to the majestic creatures called Pokemon lol but seriously my friends and I used to do the same thing except the person we picked his our zombie partner as in they'd basically be our ticket out slow dumb stupid and likely to get eaten by zombies I had a guy ask me for clear white out when I used to work out staples I just kinda looked at him and said I don't think that will work very well I used to work there as a cart bee I was told to clean the woman's bathroom and found part of her finger that was Frick top up vote for cart B I work at a McDonald's inside Walmart I was rolling the trash bin through the lobby and a little kid yells Wow look at all that trash I just want to throw up all over it I don't even I was there at 5 a.m. trying to buy our fishing license so my buddy and I could go to the beach and fish the brain-dead graveyard Sporting Goods stock a cashier was having all sorts of problems with the machine when all of a sudden out of nowhere this gnarly cholo be with painted on eyebrows no offense to all you other nollie chollas was painted on eyebrows came out of nowhere with two toddlers in tow at 5:00 a.m. wearing a wife-beater that said juicy on it sweats and a camo trucker's cap she proceeds to interrupt ask my cashier so um do you guys like have any of Dees license plate holders she holds up a chain-link license plate holder but like in all rhinestones and crap she then pesters him to call around to other wal-mart to see if they have lemon this is the only one within 35 miles open 24 hours I wasn't sure if it seems so ridiculous because I was a little Stoney baloney or just another example if why I need to stop shopping at Walmart I officially gave up on Walmart when the electronics cashier could not spell Incredibles once I was waiting in line and there was a teenage girl in front of me having a screaming tear file tantrum because of her mother wouldn't buy her a bottle of vitamin water mother let her buy fruit roll-ups though and hostess cupcakes fruit roll-up strawberry 50 calories are serving in seven grams of sugar vitamin water palak 120 calories are serving in 32 grams of sugar back in the early part of the century when I didn't have a cell I was at a Walmart and Dallas buying a phone card so I could call my sister the lady behind the counter asked me where I was going to be calling I guess in case I was calling internationally I told her I would be calling New Mexico she handed me a phone card with a big Mexican flag on it and I told her no I'm calling New Mexico she looked at me puzzled and then said there's a New Mexico still the dumbest question I have heard to date you have been visited by the wealth rat
