Welcome To Walmart

"Ma'am... Man?... Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Welcome to Walmart..."

That was odd; I was wearing man-clothes and all... I kind of like Walmart now- almost passing when I'm not even trying to is fun. :D

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

Are you serious?

My FAVORITE place of all!

I consistently get "Ma'am'd" there ...

Leaving with my wife, it's ...."Have a nice day, ladies!"

And I'm dressed neutral!

They are on my 4 star list!

Huggs!

Peope got confused during our shop's saledays, we were waering these baggy T-shirst. I got a lot of

"Ma'am, eh Sir...?" *awkward silence in which I grin and leave them hanging* "can I ask you something?"

Walmart frightens me. I try to avoid it as much as humanly possible. It's too...random....and evil. I know there are dark corners from which no woman or man ever returns.

Plus, my wife and I went there once with the kids. I have no idea what we were looking for as we don't go there normally. I think it was a video game because we were in that area, although we could have been looking for pajamas because we were in that area, too. There was this woman who worked there who was very lonely and attached herself to us for a time, sucking our life away as she held us in her psychic vampiric grasp. We vowed never to return.

Despite Gin's experience with the evildoers there (I love that term, thanks W), I'm gonna go on Friday while

I'm out en femme, just to see for myself. I'll let y'all know.

Hmmm, Gin obviously went to a different Wally World then we do. The only time I see hired help is the night stock and clean shift (we often go late) then only because they're blocking isles and generally getting in the way. That whinning over with, they do get most of our business. In all frankness, Wal-Mart gets a wide cross-section of the community, and I'm sure they have seen it all - twice.

I'm at the point where getting mam'd isn't that uncommon (3 yrs hrt).

The trick is to not get mam'd when your out with friends (who have no clue) or with my wife (who needs no reminders).

Restaurants I think are the worst. I always try to say hello to the wait person before they say "hi ladies".

My wife & I ate at a place earlier this year, even talking to the waitress my times during the meal, still said "good nite ladies" when we left!

Yeah I've had this happen about two or three times, especially at places like or similar to WalMart. Sometimes its funny, sometimes its just ignorant.

I shop at Walmart all the time, i even get my hrt refilled at the pharmacy, even before i was full time i never had a problem shopping, even in the woman's section. The Walmart i shop at is open 24/7 and they are always busy, i see lots of associates during the day and evening.

Can't say I've had that happen at wal-mart, but I've been ma'am'd a few times at kum and go and convenience stores like that. =x

I don't look remotely feminine, so it must have been just because I'm skinny with long hair; it still felt like a great compliment though. xD

watch out.. you might find yourself on here..

http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

great for a laugh, but for all the wrong reasons..

Yeah, Honey....

I've looked at that before....

And I REALLY don't want to end up on that site.....lol

But, you have to admit...most of the people on there are WAY weirder than any of us here! (at least I hope so!)

The Wal Mart by me is also open 24/7 and you never know who will show at all hours...I know that I have!

HUGG!

That peopleofwalmart site... there is no way all of those are real, some of them have to be staged.

Where I am from (mostly the midwest) there is meijers and walmart. Meijers stores have been around a lot longer, but that's not a good thing. I like the Walmarts because of their design, they are much more open and bright where Meijers feels darker and more cramped.

It took me a while, but Walmart is the store I finally got the courage to go clothes shopping for myself. I thought I would get all kinds of awkward stares, but the employees were nice and smiled even as I'm loading rainbow toe socks and multiple colors of stockings, a blouse and a few skirts and pants onto the checkout.

Walmart is over rated. Everything is really cheap, but a lot of things just break after a little while. The people are too crazy there! Impossible to park or even check out. Way too crowded.

One time I did get called a lady, but I was confused because I had a full beard growing. I guess the employees just don't use their brains anymore. Mindless drones working to provide cheap, junk to the masses. wow

And don't forget the evil part. It's consumption hell. If there is a hell for me, I'll be a WalMart employee...forever in polyester pants and that evil smiley face like Big Brother watching everyone, making them all smile vacantly...

Most of my casual stuff is from wally world, I have no problem with the fit, cut, or quality then again us women dont tend to be as hard on clothes as man do.. I speak from experience on this one

I'm boycotting Walmart (not that there's one in NYC anyway), they have a long history of mistreatment of LGBT people and employees in particular. If you haven't heard about this, just do a little Googling, you'll see what I mean.

I don't really dislike Walmart, it's just that you have to be careful, because not everything is of good quality. Some of it is just cheap junk. Some of it works and there are no problems.

      I don't know yet. I'm sure there is going to be a big crowd. I also would have to keep up with the kids and probably won't enjoy myself mostly. 
    • Ashley0616
      I can understand that. My Keurig is used for hot water mostly and when my mom comes. I mostly use a regular coffee maker. I have had that for 5 years now. I had a Bunn but it didn't last long. I also have a French press and rarely use that. I would love to get a cappuccino maker but that is for later on. Starbucks is getting expensive. My kids favorite thing there is the cake pops. I found out that Walmart Neighborhood Market has them. Typical me getting off topic. lol

      Well, welcome M.A. Several of my now grown kids were involved in theater in school.  And one is now a graphic designer.

      Wow what a busy day today.  Clearly the summer crowd is coming into town.  Doesn’t hurt that we have a PGA event here.  It is limited to 100 players. But the spectators is where the crowd is.   i alone more than doubled my usual sales.     we keep hearing thunderstorms however they are staying just west of us for now. The storms in western Tennessee right now are supposed to be here in the morning.

      Edit: Latest album is called "Drumless". My bad. The name of their tour is Drummer.

      My gen z cousin & her gf were visiting the last few days. We are a very, very small contingent of queer members of our family & we stick together. She and her gf introduced me to G Flip. They recently attended a concert and said it was the best concert ever. They were playing G Flip in the car and I was impressed by the vocals, the lyrics, the influences, and the percussion (G is also a drummer). I love a nonbinary vocalist (not that we get to hear so many...yet...) because the freedom from gender performance shines forth. I could hear influences from many styles of music I loved in the 90s, but all blended together in a joyfully percussive way. G Flip is rad! I would post a link to some tracks or an album, but there are explicit lyrics which would go against community rules - you can easily search youtube yourself if you're interested; their latest album is called "Drummer". But here is a picture of G who is serving us gorgeous nonbinary vintage Axl Rose!

      Welcome, @MAN8791. I relate to this so much. I'm roughly the same age as you, afab & nonbinary. For decades, I beat myself up for being a "broken" girl/woman. And I tried my darndest for many of those years to perform woman successfully. While outwardly I may have seemed "a success", inwardly the effort and dysphoria caused me so much anxiety, panic, and depression that it eventually became unsustainable. For me, the first step was letting go of identifying as "broken". Next, I allowed myself to be however I am. And very rapidly I felt better - in fact, initially I felt ecstatic. The door was open for me to really learn about self-love and therefore love itself.

      Well, the counter space in the kitchenette is pretty Limited. But also cost, and usefulness. I guess she is mostly right, and it isn't really important.

      "The Health and Human Services Grants Regulation (HHS Grants Rule) Final Rule protects LGBTQI+ people by clarifying and reaffirming the prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex – including sexual orientation and gender identity – in specific health and human services programs, consistent with the Supreme Court decision in Bostock v.

      Wasn't sure whether to post this in the "uplifting news" or "news" forum. This bill is pro-LGBTQ+, albeit 30 some odd years too late with 100s of thousands of lives lost throughout the AIDS crisis. The upshot is that ol' Ron has actually done some good for the community. That's really...something...although I doubt he sees it that way. And most importantly, greater access to screening and care will save many lives.   https://ncpa.org/newsroom/qam/2024/05/01/floridas-governor-signs-bill-expand-hiv-care

      Both of my parents were raised in WASP-ish families. What was or wasn't appropriate, with an emphasise on superficial appropriateness (conformity) was verbally beaten into me the second I hit puberty.   Which is really sad as I think back, and was bewildering at the time. I remember being really free to be expressive how I wanted to and then once I started puberty, all of that freedom disappeared and I didn't understand, at all.
