Speaker 1 (00:05):
All right, I got the next story. This is called
Walmart Stalker. I guess it goes along with the theme
that we've set tonight, which is extremely creepy. For a
bit of context, I'm a twenty two year old female,
five foot two and about one hundred and twenty five pounds.
My mother is forty five five foot nothing. It would
blow over in the wind. We both look much younger
(00:27):
than our actual ages, and due to having small statures,
we tend to have run ins.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
With creeps because it tends to attract creeps.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I tend to carry a small arsenal on me at
all times, pepper spray, taser, Swiss arma knife, and etc.
I tend to be pretty confident that I can handle myself.
That's what I'm trying to say. Don't judge because we
live at a big city and I'm a small girl.
This particular night was the worst we've experienced with creepers
so far. My mother and I were grocery shopping at
(00:57):
our usual Walmart. It was later on in the day,
around seven pm, something we tried to avoid because, as
we said before, we have a running with creepers. We
tend to We just pulled into the parking lot and
began our trick. Inside, we spotted five young men older
than myself was still young, standing outside the store laughing.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Near the front doors.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I pay it no mind when they glance at me
and my mom, and when we walk inside to grab
the carts, the men all head inside now and I
shrug it off, but keep a mental note of their faces.
I tend to be on the paranoid side. We head inside,
moving straight for the grocery section. As we shop, I
keep noticing two or three of the five men are
(01:39):
in each aisle that we go to. Alarm bells started
to go off, but I pushed the paranoia aside and
just keep my head high as we walk. Most of
the time, confidence puts the creepers off. I make sure
to go down a few random aisles to test. Sure enough,
my test prove positive, as they were always there in
(01:59):
those too.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
My mom starts to notice as well the more aisles
we go down, and her hand squeezes mine and a
warning is she shoots one of the men a very
bad glare. We stop in the cereal aisle. She tended
to still be mama bear, despite that I'm a grown woman.
The guy who's now moved on about two feet from
(02:21):
our cart, just glances over and smirks at her. He's tall, lanky,
with short, dark hair partially hidden under a ball cap
and a pointed rat like face. Mom just narrows her
eyes unnerved at this point as a response, and she
looks over at me and shoots me an unsure glance.
I shrug this off before moving to grab a box
(02:43):
off the shelf a little whiles away. The hair on
the back of my neck at this point begins to
suddenly stand up as I turn around, and I see
yet another guy has walked up another one of the guys.
This one is blonde, shaggy, oily hair hanging on from
his chin, with his hands tucked in a gray reflect
material hoodie look.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Like a punisher hoodie.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
He's staring up at the boxes, but a smirk is
on his face, and he directly stands in my path,
right in front of me. My stomach flips. I grip
my teeth as I snap excuse me. I try to
go around him, but he just moves again, right back
into my path. I glare at him now, trying to
communicate with him with my facial expression that I'm not
(03:24):
finding his antics funny, and my mom seems to notice this,
comes to my rescue and pushes the cart directly between
the two of us, the man and I, and she
says to me ready, I nod, and he takes the
hint to move on, now, smiling with yellow teeth as
he nods to us. Mom only glares, grabbing my arm
and hustling us to another aisle. Again and again, we
(03:46):
run into these guys, and once we finish shopping, I'm
afraid they might try to follow us outside, so we
began roaming all over the store, taking different routes and aisles.
We seem to lose them after a while, and we
both feel relaxed, figuring they finally gave up. We head
to the check out our Walmart having a self checkout
line made for grocery trips, I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
We start checking ourselves out.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Halfway through unloading our items. I get that hair standing
up feeling again as I turn and I noticed at
the land to the right of us. As you guess,
it's the same five guys, this time all of them.
My stomach drops, eyes moving to my mom, who stares
at them with white eyes and her eyebrows raised, trying
to shake it off. We take our sweet time ringing
(04:27):
things up. We figure, seeing as the guys had no
more than five.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
To ten items between them and.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
We have a full cart, they would surely move faster
than us.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It seems no one else had decided to check out
in our lanth so they could go as slow as
they wanted, and oh boy did they. For the next
ten what felt like at least ten minutes, they just
sat there and watched us that we were bringing our
groceries up, and every now and then they would ring
a random item up. My mom grabs my arm and
we share a look. I shake my head, starting to
get freaked out as my mom, starting to panic, grabs
(05:01):
her phone and calls my dad and her state of panic. However,
she turns and wonders a few feet away.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Not her best moment, she admits. And when I.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Turn to bring out the last few items, the all
cap guy is standing right there by me. At this point,
we stare at each other. He had a gross stare
on his face with messed up teeth. I dropped the
chicken in the bag before reaching out the last item,
ringing it up. He's still partially glaring at me, but
I'm just remanding with my eyesight down to the car.
At this point, Mom, now off the phone, hurries back
(05:31):
over only to see the ball cap guy standing there
while the other four sit on the bench located three
feet away, all watching us. Ball Cap guy simply takes
out the empty gatorade bottle he's been holding and chucks
it into the trash canned by the register, which broke
our eye contact before he goes to sit back down
with all his friends.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Keep in mind, they had a trash can right by.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Their register, but made it known to throw it clearer
to ours. Mom and I, not knowing what to do,
start fiddling around, hoping they'd be impatient and leave.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
As we continue at this point to pay and get
our receipt, there still there. So Mom grabs my arm
and steers me towards customer service, telling them my dad
told us to have security walk us out. The guys
move and walk out once we head over there, and
I feel relieved they finally left. The lady at customer
service where we're amazing and very understanding and stood with
(06:25):
us the entire time waiting for security. A big man
with a calm and confident PERSONA came over to take
descriptions and said he reviewed the cameras he checked the doorways.
When he came back, he told us, as we were
staying in customer service that he found five men matching
their descriptions hanging out around the front door as if
they were waiting for something. He said, the minute they
(06:46):
saw him, they took off, and he promised to walk
us to our car and let the officer outside know
what was going on. We thanked him and the ladies
and we thankfully made it to our car with no
problems and haven't seen those men again. So those creepy
ass guys who stalked us at Walmart, I just hope
we never ever see them again.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
There is some serious douche baggy behavior on there. A
bunch of creeps.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, it definitely seems to be very blatant, just trying
to it kind of seems to just literally trying to
creep them out, mess with them.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It does seem like that. I mean, maybe they had
worse intentions, but almost seems like they were just being it. Yeah,
a bunch of ass hats and just trying to gross
them out and creep them out. They could be up
to worse. I mean more likely they could, man, and
you know, it was a good thing that they got
security to walk them out. It's weird that like half
(07:42):
of our more than half of our stories have been
in like a parking lot of some sort of major place.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well I brought this up, somebody said, it's very unnervous situation.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I couldn't even read it. It's so unnerving.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
But everybody has a local Walmart. I feel like, like
every time I go to Walmart, I feel like I
see some odd people that could meet this description.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Especially back when it used to be twenty four hours. Yeah,
they had nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That's twenty It's not twenty four hours anymore. Yeah, you
definitely could. They said it was what seven pm. Yeah,
you're right, the people late at night.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I could feel for this story. That's why I shared it. It
was definitely a creepy one.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It's very creepy because this is supposed to happen at
any Walmart in the country. It could happen anywhere.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I don't know the whole timeline because it you know what,
it seemed like a very long time, like they're literally
trying to buy time going around the store, and these
guys are still in every aisle making sure they stand
close to them, just doing very creepy stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, you know, you got those people used to hang
out there all night long doing weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And so yeah, people used to hang out in the
parking lot all the time at these Walmarts.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So yeah, that's definitely just douche baggy behavior and really gross.
And you think they had big trucks. I guarantee, you
guarantee it. We've got to get some heat on that way. Yeah,
everyone's gonna get canceled sometime.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, that might do it.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That might.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Well, I see what they say.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
People are saying, all guys know how creepy moments like
this are. They tried to avoid them. The ones who
don't are very creepy.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I think as a man or as a person, even
you often realize I could come across really strange.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Oh, it's acting the worst. It's the worst when you
accidentally keep bumping into somebody at Walmart or something or
someplace like that. It's like, I'm not stalking you. I
just have to get this too. But it always comes
across weird. And even if you don't want it to
be or like I feel weird out running into people
over over again. I'm just like, I don't want to
see this first again. I'm gonna look like a creeper. Yeah,
(09:47):
I do that now.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I still can't avoid sometimes having to go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I guess I go to Walmart once a year now,
it is ever since It's a heart became a thing. Yeah,
I got addicted to that and I alway use that now.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I think the thing I can really picture here is
it really stands out to me is this checkout, Like
how long they're these guys are taking to check out,
like no items, yeah, and you're not gonna get okay.
So like, once you hit a certain time at Walmart,
there's like nobody around that's going to help you. Yeah,
or even if there's also no scenario where there's so
(10:26):
many people around, nobody's gonna help you. But if you
hit a certain time, I could see what they're saying.
I don't know how big their talent is. I don't
remember what they said, but you're just gonna be left
hanging to fend for yourself. So it was actually she
did call her husband, but it was a good idea
to go to that self, that customer service.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, those that's definitely like the time you need.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It, because what would happen if they just would have
went out the door, like kept going, You know, it.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Could have been really bad, or it could just been
them creeping on some more parassing them always to a car,
or it could have gone really really bad. This is
definitely their best decision ever was to go to that
customer service.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, sounded like they had some helpful security, and it
sounds like you ended up having cops outside. You're reading
the story, but I think the point God came across Walmart.
Walmart is very creepy and scary.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It is.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Jeff Townsend media sees you good night, and the question
is do I stay here?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Will you be back?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Are you gonna come back?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Will you be back? Are you coming back

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
