People Of WalMart Website

people-of-walmart-website-www-peopleofwalmart-com People of Walmart (/search hl en q site peopleofwalmart.com people of walmart), a website that launched earlier this month, catalogs the gloriously absurd attire that is sported by the big-box retailer’s customer base. The website site peopleofwalmart.com, which invites users to send in embarrassing pictures of Wal-Mart customers, became an internet phenom in the past few days, rising to one of the top searches in google, so much so that the site crashed Tuesday. While we don’t think that, this presents any sort of a crisis situation for Wal-Mart. Infact, we do think it provides them with the chance to defend their customers in a very public way and which will benefit their corporate image.

This website was covered on sites like Times, Fox News, Times, Gawker, and Huffington Post. The site creators even have a sort of manifest:

“People of Walmart was founded in August of 2009 by three friends and roommates after an inspirational trip to WalMart. Let’s face it; we all have seen the people who obviously don’t have mirrors and/or family and friends to lock them in a basement, and they all seem to congregate at Walmart. It’s not everywhere that you can shop for milk at 10 a.m. next to a 400lb mother of 6 wearing a pink tube top, leopard tights, and hooker heels.”

A site founder explained the impetus behind the site: Andrew, his brother Adam and their friend Luke started People of Walmart after a shopping trip to a South Carolina branch earlier this month. “We turned a corner to see a stripper — at least, I think she was a stripper — with a shirt that read ‘Go F___ Yourself,’ and she had a 2-year-old kid in one of those child harnesses that looked like a dog leash,” says Adam. They turned another corner and saw a guy with a ZZ Top beard.

This website owner is also looking for someone who can create them an iPhone application and if you’re interested in developing an application for People of Walmart website you can contact them at info@peopleofwalmart.com.
