People often think of the Amish as a community of people who hide themselves from the world and refuse to keep up with the times. While there is a tiny bit of truth to that, this doesn’t mean that they completely close themselves off from every wonderful thing. One of the things the Amish people can’t resist is Walmart.
But don’t expect them to turn up in a car anytime soon. You can tell when an Amish person has decided to show up to this superstore when you see a pair of horses and a carriage tied up to a pole in the parking lot. After all, no pets are allowed, right?
It's a Lawnmower, Not a Landmower
You can probably tell where this photo was taken based on the vehicle that this customer used to drive to his local Walmart. While we don't know the specific town or state this is in, we imagine it's somewhere in the middle of the country.
But to be perfectly honest, this could have happened anywhere in the US of A. After all, people mow their lawns everywhere. Listen, times are tough. Maybe this guy's only mode of transport is his lawnmower. But if you do decide to use this to get to Walmart, you certainly do need to park it somewhere.
How the Grinch Stole Walmart
There are a couple of figures who are synonymous with all things that are anti-Christmas. Two of these are Ebeneezer Scrooge and the Grinch. Something of an anti-hero, the latter has been in all kinds of films, animated series, and comic cons. And now, this green fella can be seen in superstores like Walmart.
Unlike the Grinch we are familiar with, this one seems pretty friendly, shaking the hand of a fellow customer and displaying an unexpected level of warmth during this festive period. We get the impression that it's a worker in costume trying to make customers feel welcome. This Grinch had a redemption arc!
Walm-ART
People can sure get creative in the most unexpected places. And in the parking lots of Walmart, people can really get carried away with their creative impulses. If there are some shopping carts lying around, you can expect someone to either a) steal one, or b) make an abstract sculpture out of a couple of them.
This tower of shopping carts looks like something that someone would be proud of making during their time at Burning Man. We're trying to figure out what this even symbolizes. Is it supposed to represent retail as an empire? We have absolutely no idea.
The Strawberries That Broke the Shopping Carts' Back
Usually, staff at Walmart get suspicious when a customer buys a certain assortment of items or too many of the same thing. The reason for this is that they could be using whatever they're buying for nefarious purposes.
And while they didn't suspect that this guy was trying to build some kind of weapon of mass destruction that's fueled by strawberries, they had no idea why he needed so many of the same fruit. Sure, a couple of boxes seems reasonable - but a whole cart of those delicious red fruits? We think this guy is up to something sweet but sinister, nonetheless.
