Walmart is the biggest retailer in the world. This website posts pictures of the people that shop at Walmart.
The pictures show the outlandish look of Americans that shop at Walmart. If this doesn’t want to make you abandon America and move to another continent, I don’t know what will.
I had a difficult time deciding which section this article should be posted in. Should it be filed under the Fashion section? It focuses on the fashion and style choice of ordinary Americans. Or maybe it should go under health and fitness. One thing that is striking about Walmart shoppers is that they are physically huge. This is not surprising considering you can buy industrial-sized packages of junk food at Walmart.
The only problem I have is the ethical consideration of photographing people in public without their permission and then holding them out for public ridicule. Yet there is always the first amendment. But it is not something I would condone as an editor. For that reason, we won’t be showing any example photographs. I would encourage the publishers of People of Walmart to block out people’s faces.
On the other hand, the subjects of the pictures seem oblivious to how other people view their personal appearance. And I think it is educational to see where on the evolutionary scale the typical Walmart-shopping American is today, and how far America life has deteriorated in terms of health and obesity, aside from issues of style and good taste.
