Police escorted a woman home after she was shopping, eating, and sleeping in a Georgia Walmart for three days straight. She blended in with the general Christmas madness and sustained herself by eating at the on-site Blimpie. When asked by employees at the end why she stayed for so long, she said, “I’m shopping.”

What’s not being reported is when she was lead out of the store, she was screaming, “but I thought I’d reached the Innermost Circle?!?!?!”
She had told her husband that “I’ll only be a few minutes.”
If I was Walmart security, I would check the parking lot for a Mercury Grand Marquis with a dead 75 year old guy in it.
i’ve spent about 4 hours at walmart.
the lady is 70, probably bored.
she paid for her food from blimpies, paid for her merchandise. i mean, if it wasn’t for her going to sleep (makes me wonder where she slept), i don’t see what’s wrong with it. I mean, what if she came in and out 20 times in 72 hours? No one would care.
Also, everyone is making 70 years old seem like she is a white-haird 4’3″ elderly woman who can’t see or hear. I mean, come on. I have two grandmothers that are 70 and still date, have full-time jobs, travel, cook, drive, etc.
Wonder what the staff was thinking at hour 37.
If the lady is 70 she wasn’t bored. She probably went to one side of the store, then the other then came back to the side she was at before and it was all new again! Yay!
that surely has to set the guiness book of world records.
She was actually looking for a product made in America.
I agree, they should give her a $1000 Walmart certificate as a prize for longest shopping spree@dwayne_dibbly:
How many shopping carts did she fill?
Crazy story, though Walmart does have some great prices: [bountii.com]
