We lived in Mississippi for 6 years and the local Wal-Mart was the cheapest place to buy groceries in the area. I never saw any of the really crazy outfits on the people that are portrayed in the "people of Wal-Mart" emails & website, but you did see an extreme amount of people that truly did not care what they looked like when they went shopping. While half of the people were just your normal every day people, the other half were dirty and trashy and seemed to have little to no self respect. Once you reach a certain body weight, they don't make clothes that make you look "sexy"
I went there once after midnight, I never did that again. Having hung out in bars forever with bands I've had quite a few encounters with really strange people. That is nothing compared to the freak show that was parading thru Wal-Mart that night. I've known a couple of people that worked over night stocking at that Wal-Mart. They said that things could get a bit creepy when some of the "swamp people" came in. Since moving back here I've rarely gone to a Wal-Mart. The one that is close by seems clean and normal, but I just prefer not to shop there. I can get the same prices elsewhere and I have other retailers that I prefer to do business with.
