Walmart Mystery
At 10 minutes to 7, AM, still dark outside, I was Heading to the self check out with a cart full of expensive food in WM, I stood back and the doors burst open and a girl of maybe 25 rushed in the door ON A MISSION, she was nearly running, and FOCUSED.
I know you are thinking who cares? Aha! there is more. She was dressed in Pajamas, slippers and a Robe tied tightly around her middle..
As i drove home, I entertained myself by trying to come up with a scenario for WHY!
Sleeping in her car, potty run? If so, why put on PJ's?
Sleeping in an RV parked in the lot, lots of them do that. If so, was she buying milk for a baby? diapers for a baby? A sudden desire for a cold Starbucks Coffee in the cooler?
do you have a scenario? would you go in Walmart in PJ's, slippers and robe?
Can you come up with a reason you would do that? She was fine, decent, could see nothing but her hands and face..

About half the Wal-Mart shoppers shop in either P.J.'s or some kind of costume. Or both. Some wear underwear. Now I am so curious!!! She needed something really fast, that's for sure. My guess is tampons.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I haven't been to a Walmart in years. I love your tree!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas greeting card, wishing joy, peace and love to you, Bob and Beau. Maybe she forgot an ingredient for a recipe?
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend!
I don’t shop at Walmart, but when I hear stories like this I wonder whether they attract more than their fair share of crazies? I think there are even You Tube videos about the odd behaviours of Walmart customers. I suppose one could dream up all kinds of scenarios about why the woman was dressed in this way. Only she knows for sure! All the very best for the holidays and a wonderful 2025 with no hurricanes!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas card. So pretty and the pic of you and Beau is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy brain can't even come up with why the woman would be rushing in to Walmart dressed like that. I wouldn't be caught dead out in public wearing my pj's and robe.

ReplyDeleteLaziness - even if she wanted keep her PJs on, at least she could have put proper shoes and an overcoat on! Love the card. YAM xx
In some areas, children are taken to school by mothers in nightwear, hair in curlers and so on. I guess the young lady may have been in training for that!
ReplyDeleteLove the card! Merry Christmas with Joy to y'all too!
ReplyDeleteWho knows what dwells in the hearts and motives of the Walmartians. Could be any number of needs you stated. All I know is I don't wear PJ's or try to stay away from printed "T"s when going out. Been trying to look a little less uncared for when in public. My step-mom would be proud as she was always trying to get me to dress better. *lol*
Blessings. 🎄
How I love your card!
ReplyDeleteI'm like Ginny ... guessing she was in need of a personal hygiene product. Were any of your employee friends working that morning you can ask?
I think she was on mission for something she did not know she needed or was out of. As for the pjs, they cover a lot more than some clothes and I don't think anything negative about someone wearing them. In fact they are comfortable and who knows, sometimes it may be the only thing that is comfortable.
ReplyDeleteIf she found something on sale that they have one left of that her child wanted - we would do anything in any get up to get it for them. Thinking of my MIL and cabbage patch dolls years ago. They got to Walmart four hours before it opened standing outside in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteHello Sandra :) Your Christmas greeting card is lovely, It would look good framed.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a good reason why this young woman was in such a hurry. Heavens, it only takes a moment to put on shoes and a coat, but perhaps she was just late with her Christmas shopping, and needed ingredients for a Christmas pudding. Still!!
Well around here, my first thought was a shoplifter but most things are locked up in Walmart. If she had a feminine need, she would still have to wait for a clerk to unlock the merchandise. That includes diapers and formula and sanitary products. Maybe it was food?
ReplyDeleteCute Christmas card! I don't think I've ever seen anyone dressed like that at my supermarket, it does indeed seem to indicate some kind of emergency situation.
ReplyDeleteSweet card. Hard to believe that she would go in Walmart in her pajamas, slippers and robe. I don't have any idea why she would do that but I think your ideas are definitely a possibility.
ReplyDeleteI too love your card, what a lovely couple you two are. I'm so glad you and Beau found each other.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about the woman and it isn't here, so I will try again: Maybe she had an upset stomach and didn't want to stink up her trailer.
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet Christmas card from you and Beau. We bet she was one of those camping in the parking lot and didn't want to use the facilities in the camper.
ReplyDeleteI guess our Walmart is on the conservative side. I really never see any people like the cartoons always show about Walmart.
ReplyDeleteNow that lady must have been quite something to see at 7AM. She really must have been desperate for "whatever". I can't imagine going anyplace looking like that..
Been thinking about you today and your friend.
(((hugs)))

Beautiful card - Merry Christmas to you and family too.
ReplyDeleteMom says she sees a lot of oddly dressed people at Walmart too, but the fact that this gal was running makes us think there definitely was some urgency to the situation.

That's a pretty card, Merry Christmas. Hey, I know why she did that...she's an idiot with zero self respect!
ReplyDeleteLove your card. you are so clever. I hope you and bob have a lovely Christmas.I laughed at your story of the dashing Walmatian. Must admit I don't get dressed up to go to the supermarket but haven't ever gone in PJ's
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful card. As for this young woman, if she were younger I would say maybe she did it on a dare, or maybe she was running to the bathroom because hers didn’t work. I am a terrible guesser so I will come back for the reason. Happy Holidays to you, Bob and Beau :)
ReplyDeleteI am all for casual wear, but people have gotten too casual. Several years ago, I was at the mall, in the apple store, and the guy standing beside me had on the same pj bottoms as Man had at home. I think people do what they want to do. Love the ard - Lee and Phod's Lady
