Always low prices. That was Sam Walton's mantra when he opened the first Wal-Mart in 1962. We're not sure what maxim should be applied to this particular store in Taylors, South Carolina, though. "Upon entering around 8:30 p.m., I was completely blown away by how disgusting this entire store was," writes our intrepid shopper. So he grabbed his camera just to prove it, and a photo essay was born—complete with viewers' acerbic comments, naturally. Relish the fabulous decaying peach. Swoon over the mysterious crunchy things on the floor. Enjoy the strange juxtaposition of random shopping items. Savor the half-eaten apples on sale. Witness the mystery substance leaking onto the shelves. And finally, of course, revel in the pure irony of it all. Today's Pick proves that your local superstore may be hiding more secrets than you think. Keep flicking through all 119 images of devastation and thank heavens you didn't shop here that day.
