You know we have all done it one time or another. You head to Walmart or similar type of store and mock the other shoppers there based on their clothing, hair or other general ridiculousness. Now you don’t need to even leave the house to experience this fun and can instead log on the People of Walmart website.
When you log on the site, you get the pleasure of seeing a collection of photos of real life Walmart shoppers. Some examples? An overweight woman in a motorized scooter with an “I Like It From Behind” t-shirt, a car in the parking lot with Confederate bra decals, and a guy dressed up as Tony the Tiger roaming the aisles. The creators of the site have stated that they got the idea after visiting a Walmart and seeing a potential stripper with an obscene t-shirt lead a baby around the store in a harness.
The site has been gaining momentum by getting forwarded through social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, and Digg. The site posts user submitted images and awards $100 Walmart gift card for the best photo each month.

I noticed you did a story about peopleofwalmart.com. Perhaps you might be interested in doing a follow up about People of Public Transit.

The public bus and subway systems are littered with amazing photo opportunities. Many of us have been sitting alone witnessing something amazing and only wishing we could share the experience with our friends. Well now you can!
I love this site. I was just at Walmart the other day and saw at least 3 people that either need to be on the site or who may have been featured on the site. It's scary how true to life this site really is!
