Speedo-wearing teen chronicled Walmart adventure on social media (SC)

The duo appears to move on to Walmart, where an employee called police to report “male suspects running around in only underwear.” The employee said Vandiver was being “loud, boisterous and offensive,” according to a police report. Several customers were offended “by what they witnessed.”

In 0bama's Amerika they are lucky they weren't shot.

Couldn’t they have just escorted them out? Did they really need to charge them?

Sheesh, we have the most uptight society in the whole world.

Several customers were offended “by what they witnessed.”

They must have been first time shoppers at Walmart and have never seen the pics of Walmart shoppers that make the email circuit on a regular basis. At least they had underwear on, unlike some in pics I have seen of other shoppers.

Rather, the teens’ skimpy outfits caught the eyes of customers, employees and, eventually, the police.

So let me just play devil’s advocate for a moment…. Both the Walmart and the beach are public spaces. What is it that makes it absolutely ok to wear a speedo on a beach and absolutely not ok to wear it in a Walmart? Not advocating this… just asking.

Back when I was a kid, businesses had signs on doors that said “No shirts, No shoes, No Service”.

There is a dress code at Walmart? Who know?

Yes, you should have toilet paper dragging behind you from your clothes.

There is a dress code at Walmart? Who *knew*?

A beach is a public space. A business facility is a business that allows customers to shop there.

The next story on the page is about a nekkid man being arrested in Walmart.

Said he woke up nekkid and wanted to buy some clothes.

Said he woke up nekkid and wanted to buy some clothes.”

Have to admire his original thinking.

In the little town where I grew up my cousin used to run around in his pajamas. I ran into him at the grocery store one morning and he was there in his pajamas buying bacon and eggs. He rode the riding mower down there.

Funny story. Just small town America - too bad everyone didn’t get to grow up in such a place.

[cripplecreek]

In the even smaller town where I live now we have an “Uncle Harry”. Apparently he was a bus driver back in the days when we had a school district.

We still have stores with the “NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO SERVICE” signs here.

[VerySadAmerican]

They kick someone out for wearing bathing suits. Yet black thugs go around with their jeans down to their knees. And the underwear section in all stores show a lot of skin.

I thought of that too, but these kids weren't looking for service. They were just there.

Sorta like a kid tagging along with his mom going shopping.

Just without the mom.
