    As Americans, we hold these truths to be self-evident: We will shop. And when we do, especially at our favorite supercenter, we will wear and do the most bizarre things possible.

    From the wildly popular website PeopleofWalmart.com, this photo collection of Americans in their natural shopping habitat (70 percent of which is brand new and never before included on the website) presents people of all shapes and sizes wearing and doing everything imaginable in full view of their fellow shopping public. Plus, for the first time brand-new fan-submitted stories offer the most random experiences you can imagine!

    So welcome to a world where no shoes and no shirt are no obstacles, where parking lots are filled with dead deer, Bengal tigers, and old men in thongs riding bikes. Once you meet the People of Walmart, you are sure to fall in love.

      Hilarious and just wrong. I laughed soo much at poor clueless people.
    • 3/5
      First, there ought to be a foundation to fund the purchase of full length three panel mirrors, and these mirrors should be installed at every Wal-Mart entrance. Second, the fashion police should be allowed to do on-the-spot makeovers. Rephrase: not allowed, but required. The contents of this book vacillates from being hilarious, to unbelievable, to just plain sad and back again. A highly entertaining book, one can only hope that Robert Burns’ wish comes true, and that we become able to really see ourselves before others see us.

    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

    We would like to dedicate this book to our parents, Al & Elena Kipple and Tom & Diana Wherry. Thanks for putting up with us for all those years; we love you. Oh, and Mom: In college I didn’t break that kid’s computer playing Nerf basketball; I got drunk and angry and threw it against a wall… sorry, my bad.

    Special thanks to Brett Fullmer for believing in our idea and giving us the support and guidance to keep our site up and running. Thanks to Patty Souza and Leslie Black for all the work they do. Thanks to Alison Fargis for thinking we could take this website and put it on paper for the world. Thank you to Peter Lynch and Sourcebooks for taking a risk on us and dealing with three inexperienced authors and making us feel like we were John Grisham. Thanks to Alec Miller for his counsel. Thanks to all our friends and family, specifically Joe Scarpo for all his help, advice, and guidance.

    Adam would like to thank the teachers (you know who you are) who helped him hone his talents to become who he is today, and tell all those teachers who told him he wouldn’t do anything with his life to kiss his ass!
