walk-ins

Customers without appointments

Walk-ins are customers or visitors who arrive without an appointment: The salon accepts walk-ins on weekdays.

A walk-in closet or freezer is large enough to enter and move around in.

In espionage, a walk-in is someone who voluntarily offers to provide intelligence—they simply walk into an embassy or agency office.

In New Age belief, a walk-in is a spirit that has taken over a living person's body.
