No people come to mind, but I had to use the bathrooms at a local walmart once, and one of the stalls was absolutely covered in shit.
That bathroom ended up getting remodeled.

Oh god you just reminded me of another story.
I was in the mens restroom and someone had let their little boy into the bathroom to see if he would use the toilet properly.
He used the standing toilet much too tall for him and took a dump across the floor

Who does this? Who brings their kid out to a public place to test if they can use the facilities properly?
Oh, it's in the thread title.

Welcome to WALMART
The place people bring their bratty kids to and expect them to act reasonable.
I once saw a grown-ass man in a rainbow dash hoodie similar to [url=http://inthehoodie.com/blog/product-images/rainbow-dash-hoodie-unisex-thinkgeek-1.jpg]this one[/url], with pokemon gym badge buttons pinned on, roaming around the store. With him, he was following around his older parents. Mother was a hambeast that rode on a motorized cart, father was much thinner but had a rattail.
and this is why I go to Target
only classy people go to Target
Work at Walmart as an overnight unloader as of the moment, when I started I was really bad about pulling pallets. The lanes/aisles to pull down the pallets are so small that you have to be extremely careful or risk getting caught on a feature, endcap, or something. I kept on getting caught on endcaps and just busted one all to hell. Only reason why I didn't get in trouble was because the store manager acknowledged how small our area to pull freight is.
Had two fat ladies get into a car accident with each other the other day. Both were backing out, one wasn't paying attention, the other was and was honking her horn but still pulling out, both hit each other. When they got out of their cars, they started yelling so loud I thought I was back in BCT, being yelled at by drill sergeants again.
Honestly, the store where I work at, I haven't seen any problem customers besides the occasional drug addict who tries to steal stuff from electronics. Most people are real friendly, real courteous, and the managers aren't too bad, either, although they keep on setting unrealistic timelines for getting our jobs done.
Current backroom manager was a former DJ in Atlanta, if that's worth mentioning.
I don't work at a walmart, but I do work at a Dollar General, and while we don't get THAT many weirdos we do get some every once in a while.
One time this lady walked in and went over to the cooler, took out a diet coke, and yelled over to me like "I'm going to drink this and throw it in the back, okay?!" and I just smiled and nodded and said ok because I was under the impression that she was being sarcastic.
No, she wasn't.
She actually drank the soda and threw it behind the air fresheners in the back of the store so we wouldn't find it, then bought another coke when she got up to the register, which took 5 minutes for me to check her out because she couldn't stop talking about random shit.
Honestly that's the worst i've got, though.

no-one in my family ever shops at walmart, but after hearing all the stories I think I know why
I feel sorry for the people who have to work there, it must be so maddening to have to deal with the crazy stupid people who only seem to shop at these stores. this is the true struggle of the working class

Coming from someone who used to work at Target, to say we didn't get our share of crazy people is insane. We got less, sure, but it was no upscale establishment.
Any superstore is bad with its clientele. If you want something, go to a specific store.
Like Costco. Why can't people go buy their 2 palettes of Kraft there?

Well if you live where I do
Way too far away.
Like two towns over far.
Good god, I've read through the whole thread on Reddit and I had to conclude one thing: Why the fuck are people so obsessed with shitting up a supermarket?

Haha it happens here too. I've hap to mop up shits customers have done TWICE and it's kinda humiliating to do it when other customers are around to witness me cleaning it. I'm actually not allowed to do it because I don't have the right health training (I'm only a shelf packer), but management gets me to do it anyways and its unspoken but we keep hush hush about it by them giving me the hours I want to work, among other reasons.
I work at a supermarket called Coles here and I suppose it's kinda tame, except for the bogans who come in trying to steal shit and this one old dude who expects me to accompany him to everything on his shopping list, every time. I did have a customer videoing me on her phone just before Christmas last year for no reason (the only thing I can think of was I was breaking OH&S when bending my back to pick up something).
The only interesting things that have happened recently are customers calling me by my name (on the badge on my shirt). Like it just never happens. Either they know me (but I usually don't know them - I have a feeling the teenage girls who do it know me because of a checkout chick telling them stories about what happened between me and her) or they just do it to fuck around and pretend they know me. Yeah my job's pretty tame I guess.
My brother worked black Friday in toys. That year they decided to put all the big electronics items out in the lawn and garden section so they could keep it closed off till the time was right. He said as soon as midnight hit the place flooded with people. Imagine a hoard of crazy soccer moms charging at tv. All he said he could see was a mass of people, and a full sized ottoman flying through the air.

holy shit at our store we planned a whole organized deal
the group I was with were selling the master chief collection xbox ones. (Which not surprisingly didn't get cleared out)
Hahaha this makes me disappointed that there is no walmart around here, it wouldn't work anyway, no retarded people to shop in it
My mom works in that Ohio Walmart that was in the news recently because some black kid was shot and killed by a cop in it :s
Otherwise not too many weirdos or anything like that, but there was this one mentally challenged lady that kept going to the Subway in the store and sitting there not doing much of anything, but frequently after she left the chair she sat in was often covered in piss. Wonderful.
Whoa 39 new posts in a few days wow :v:
Some content:
[quote=justgoawayplease;47963612]a guy shopping with long hair, dressed in a brown terry bathrobe, bunny slippers (the real thing, how do you even find these?), straw gardening hat, and sunglasses. Another employee was assisting him with shopping and reaching objects on shelves.
People using the fitting rooms as a bathroom, or leaving feminine products inside. Yup!!
A woman went to try on a bra but bled all over it from an open wound on her side and we had to biohazard that shit.
A girl puked on me. I got to go home early that day.
In the grocery section, a pretty big, tall guy was grabbing onto the banana display (the kind that hangs from the ceiling on a 30 foot rope) and shot-putting the bananas SO FAR they swung out over the Meats section, almost hit the Deli sign, then came swinging back and he caught it. He stopped when he saw me watching him.
Kids throwing those Pop-It fireworks everywhere while running through the store, freaking out the managers as they set some off in the chemicals and cleaners isle

From the comments(of the askreddit thread) about the banana story:
[quote=StillNotSam;47963612]For one amazing second I thought you meant he was using individual bananas as boomerangs. That would just be impressive.[/quote]

semi related, this conspiracy theory about secret walmart tunnels keeps coming up in my related videos on youtube
[video=youtube;_I32vWVFGtk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I32vWVFGtk[/video]
I guess this is to be expected from walmart clientele
Not Walmart but i work at a Marsh as an overnight stocker and towards the end of the night, one of our guys gets called up to the front to answer the phone and it's this woman that's calling to complain about how someone is going around swapping the country of origin on things and moving them. Like, she got some item and it said "made in US and Mexico" but by the time she got it to the counter, it just said "Made in US" and how she decided to get some sesame seeds but by the time she back tracked to get them, they were gone.
Turns out, she was bitching about the new Marsh down the street but their offices were closed, so she called us to bitch about a problem at their store, one that doesn't even really matter. A little while later the guy up front came back and just started apologizing and talked about how he didn't know how to handle it so he just called for the stocking manager.
There's nothing much you can really do with those types, working at an Arcade before, we got dozens of crazies each day, the only thing you can really do is just smile, nod, and call the manager.
I suppose we can assume this is a general "Worst customer/clientele thread"
I worked middle management for a movie theater. Here were a couple of highlights.
-Somebody had posted "Shrek Is Love, Shrek Is Life" stories all over the walls of the men's bathroom. At least 25+ pages. No one had complained, but I could safely assume that they had been up for at least two hours.
-On a weekday, a guy went to see a movie and had the whole theater to himself. While I was running my usual checks I opened the door I was immediately engulfed in tobacco smoke. He tried to say that he wasn't smoking at all and we should check our vents. I ended up having to kick him out, and when we were cleaning up, we found that he had gone through three packs, and the movie was only about halfway done.
-Our location had more cameras then a porno shoot at Fort Knox, yet knowing this an employee tried to get away with stealing $10 from his cash register. Then he tried to play it off like it was nothing when we showed him the four different cameras that caught him in the act.
-Our location had a bar (wine and beer only). It's really just a tacked on feature to make the place seem classier. Old people guzzle the stuff down like baby calfs, so it was a success I suppose. I was working the bar one night and this guy comes up to me and orders a beer and then goes to our concessions stand and orders 3 hotdogs. He wolfs them down and comes back for round 2 (another beer and 3 more hotdogs). He does this about 4 more times that night (finished off the last of our stock of hotdogs, stopped the drinks after 2 because he clearly had issues). This guy looked like he had come straight out of Wall Street. Slicked back hair, a well tailored suit, a huge gold watch, and despite being no older then 28, he looked like he was 45. He starts telling me about "terrible things he's done" and that "I ruined his fucking life and his fucking family's life" and then asks me for advice.
I told him that he should cut down on the hotdogs.
Ooh, I've got a buddy that works as a meat packer at Walmart. I should see if he's got any good stories.
[QUOTE=Itauske Roken;48000440]But that game won't be out until November. God damn kid a bit of restraint and patience is needed for a game to come out. It JUST got announced.
I can imagine that being a very common thing to happen in many a walmart now.
And sounds like someone left the doors open again.[/QUOTE]
Exactly.

We don't have tunnels but most stores generally have a bar on top of the back room freezers.
I work at Kohl's, most of the time we have a bad day at work our unofficial slogan is "Well at least it's better than Walmart". We generally snub our noses at Walmart in general (Target we can't very much because we've got one next door and that's were we go to lunch), though I tend to not participate in the Walmart bashing given that my girlfriend had worked there for 3 months and I've got a good idea how miserable it is to work there.
I worked in a photolab. Old-lady customer kept bringing in photos to be printed. There was old man porn on every other page, she didn't give a shit and kept scrolling. She came every day for a month until management asked her to stop.
This is what happens when you are forced to socialize with psycho's.
When I was around 7 I went into the shirt racks where no once could see, shit inside the wall of long dresses, used a part of one to wipe my ass, then came out. When we walked back through their was employees and cleaning stuff all around the section, one of them looked inside and said "Yea someone definitely took a shit in this one."
I also used to take tons of candy and eat it in those things, leaving the wrappers and half eaten candy bars for employees to find 2 days later.
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;48038544]I was cleaning the bathrooms and this one guy, the entire time I was in there, was washing his hands and was still doing it until I left.[/QUOTE]
maybe he was washing his hands of you :v:
