    Meanwhile, the photos themselves have to meet a certain standard of quality, too. The mod team asks its members to only share sightings that are unique and interesting.

    Of course, weirdness might be a tad subjective, but you can get a sense of what’s expected of you when you browse the sub.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    On top of that, all of the sightings have to be done in public. The members of the community also have to keep all of their discussions civil and respect one another if they want to continue being a part of r/peopleofwalmart.

    The company’s digital advertising business, in particular, saw huge growth: last year, it grew to $2.7 billion, as its e-commerce platform continues to expand. On top of that, Walmart is also expanding its healthcare business. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. ‘Fortune’ notes that the business agreed to a $3.1 billion settlement related to its pharmacies allegedly overprescribing painkillers.

    the only time I have ever really seen this kind of matter is in people that couldn't move for a long time, they had to stay it meds for like dr orders or a reason, or they just got out of the hospital and haven't had a chance to fix it, I [male} had hair down to my butt when i was younger, I have brittle bones and I'm tall{at the time i was about 7'2, I'm not 7'4 so you can see how brittle bones can be at that tall} and my hair that was to my butt, was matted to my shoulders from being stuck in a bed for about 3-4 months while i was healing from surgery, i could move but i could do more then mve my head back and forth, that movement makes it mat up, and at the end, i was able t o go to stores and stuff and, it took 4 days of it looking a lil worse than this before it was able to take care of, that means school saw it, dr's saw it, stores saw it, and no one bothered me {mainly cause I'm tall and scary and my hair was messedlol} But the point was.... There is normally a reason

People are losing their s**t and I believe so is she because I think that is an alien centipede that has latched to her bottom and is slowly sucking her dry. She is probably at the pharmacy to get a tripple dose of their strongest antiparisitic meds.

    It could be a polish plait, which is an intentional, traditional hairstyle, that can either look like regular dreads, or... this. Something to do with warding off hexes or something.

    This is not uncommon, among several cultures. There is a long history of people wearing their hair this way, intentionally, for lots of reasons. I'm surprised that there is such a strong negative xenophobic reaction to this picture, especially among Pandas who are usually appreciative of diverse lives. This hairstyle takes a LOT of work to create, maintain, and style. I've seen it look magical and whimsical, and sometimes even sacred.

    I don't know what the story is here but we had an elderly Asian lady working at Walmart with hair like this. It grew long enough that it touched the ground and she carried it in a basket when she was out. Someone said she had hairnets in it that her hair kept growing through and she kept putting new nets on because -when you work around food you wear a hairnet. Makes me think when she was younger she may have worked in a kitchen and was told every morning to put on a hairnet.

    Reuters recently reported that Walmart is changing how its hourly starting wage structure works for entry-level store employees. This is done in order to reduce costs in a slowing job market.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    What this essentially means is that store workers, including cashiers, personal shoppers, stockers, self-checkout helpers, and associates manning departments such as sporting goods or electronics will all receive the same hourly starting wages that are paid at the store.

    Meanwhile, Walmart spokesperson Anne Hatfield told Reuters that deli, auto center, and bakery workers will continue to receive higher starting wages because their roles are higher-skilled. For others who are joining the company just now in other roles, however, this means that they’ll be receiving less money for their efforts than three months ago.

    Reuters notes that Walmart pays its employees different starting wages depending on where the store is based. “For example, workers in the Northeast start at higher rates compared to the Midwest,” the news agency notes. Hatfield said that the new wage structure will not change Walmart’s minimum hourly wage, which currently stands at $14. Nor, the spokesperson said, will this result in pay cuts for existing employees.
