Times Walmart Looked Like an American Fever Dream
In the grand tapestry of American retail, Walmart is where reality takes a coffee break. It’s where you can buy a tire, a wedding dress, and a gallon of cheese dip before noon. Somewhere between the rollback signs and the fluorescent lights, logic simply packs up and leaves.
Shoppers wander through aisles like dream characters armed with Mountain Dew and blind ambition. Pajamas double as formal wear. A goat might show up in electronics, and nobody blinks twice.
These photos capture the surreal, utterly bizarre beauty of it all, snapshots from an America so unfiltered it might just be the nation’s truest mirror.
