walks in
Arrives without appointment
Walks in describes entering a place on foot, usually without prior arrangement.
Someone who walks in arrives unannounced or without an appointment: She just walked in and demanded to see the manager.
The phrase often captures an element of surprise or intrusion—catching someone in the act: He walked in on them kissing.
A walk-in customer or patient arrives without scheduling ahead.
