As a former cashier (grocery store not walmart admittedly, but I doubt things are that different), I dont think weird uses for the items are the way to go, the cashier is barely even going to notice or care what you’re buying. what I bring to freak out the cashier, are some item that needs ID to buy, some big heavy item with the barcode removed so that it will take a bunch of lifting and turning in a hopeless effort to find it before someone eventually has to go find another one and bring it over, and a propane refill if walmart does those (at my grocery store the process to go find a full one was a pain, especially in the winter since they were outside). Further, I try to buy these items with the help of a ton of expired and unexpired coupons mixed together, several gift cards, and a stubborn half-deaf old person who wont take no for an answer.
You are a fucking monster. The point of this was to have some laughs not cause a poor walmart employee to beat their spouse or off them selves. Damn you’re cruel.
Hey, it could always get worse. I could also specify that these items are purchased on a Sunday that a locally favored football team happens to be playing a game, during the rush of people buying snacks and soda.

How make a cashier consider on the job suicide
Would it be more or less frustrating if instead of an old person, it’s a middle aged person who clearly doesn’t understand the language but keeps smiling and nodding as if you’re on the same page and any time you try to prompt for information, they encouragingly push their items towards you or try to pay you in a currency you don’t recognize?
A bit less, partly because it’s easier to be sympathetic to those people, and partly because, in my experience, it can be helped by getting out google translate on one’s phone, if one can figure out which language it is
What aisle has the half-dead old person
I’m going with the classic:
Pringles can

Going in dry I see
Once you pop, the fun don’t stop. Shit’s getting chafed up in this bitch
Kid’s backpack, kid’s lunchbox, and a gun.
The back to school in America special.
Webcam, cactus and KY
You can’t buy Kentucky at Walmart.
Oh, I thought they sold it by the Florida ounce
I hope you are trying to be slick
Not without the Kentucky he isn’t.
SPIT ON THAT THANG
How to end up on a watchlist:
Pressure cooker, nails, prepaid phone
You’re going to hang up balloons and cook a homemade meal for your SO on their birthday, and surprise them with a new phone
Casio F-91W watch, soldering iron, electronics wire.
I think some of you have never been to Walmart and give the employees way too much credit in the intelligence department
I mean it’s more likely that they just don’t give a shit anymore.
Yeah, your weird items are probably not even the weirdest the cashier has seen today. And the cashiers are probably barely paying attention to what the items are anyway. They just don’t care. They scan the item, the machine beeps, so they put it on the belt. I bet 90% of the time if you asked a cashier what the last item they scanned was, they wouldn’t have any idea.
This is accurate to my experience when I worked at the supermarket.

Carrots Vegetable peeler Lube
What’s a peeler lube? Or is it carrots vegetable?
I think the comment is missing some commas. This is what I think it’s supposed to be:
Carrots, Vegetable peeler, Lube
