00:00:06| they were only invented as recently as the 1930s they're ingrained in our lives they I felt they've been around forever it turns out they're actually fairly recent
00:00:18| they're super a part of our everyday lives their social their economic their kind of what we rely on every day or at least once a week I'm talking about where we ride around and shopping carts
00:00:32| and put an upside down pineapple and come on let's talk about the secrets of supermarkets so I'm Dan and I'm Nick folks we're old friends dissecting one topic at a time people technology media
00:00:52| we've got it all covered each discussion here is a deep dive in or unique perspective the taboo forbidden subjects they're all on the chopping block baby we don't pander to popular opinion we

00:01:17| [Music] and here we are again the unbanned arose with my folks dan that's then and I'm Nick that's Nick welcome that's me super mark I literally think
00:01:57| supermarkets is a super interesting topic huh I mean you can Jerry Seinfeld it what's the deal with supermarkets yeah you can tell a million of those stories you got in line next to a guy
00:02:09| and he's looking at your line and you're saying well this is my line pal I'm not going to do that for the rest of the episode like I should forty minutes straight so Marcus what do they mean to
00:02:23| you Nick what do they mean to me well should I lead with a definition from Wikipedia it's everyone's favor that's what the the deepest meaning you can derive the cheapest meaning I can
00:02:32| derive it's a self-service shop you heard it here first folks we love self servicing its offers a wide variety of food beverages and household products organized into sections is larger and
00:02:48| has a wider selection than earlier grocery stores I'm gonna smaller more limited than hypermarkets that's not a thing I've never heard of it and the other kind of important part was that
00:02:59| it's all on one floor usually isn't that kind of cool on one floor I have seen I guess baked this come on yeah but that's not a real supermarket when you go to the supermarket like which was your
00:03:14| supermarket growing up you it like you had a supermarket super fresh for acne oh I had acne did you have a super fresher than who are you guys went mm-hmm which doesn't exist anymore I
00:03:26| don't think which one they both like this super fresh exists yeah good one out here you think I don't you I mean I haven't gone been variety no I think that's the other thing like they all
00:03:41| have reputations within reputations so like your supermarket is is regional and local level and it's something that you go to either every other day or like once a week or once
00:03:53| every week and a half or you know 10 days and everyone goes you all have one that you usually go to and you buy certain products because it's a convenient B it's how you survive
00:04:04| it's like your food for the week your plates people often get toilet paper stuff like that I mean you can go to CVS we're splitting hairs but the supermarket is kind of where you spend
00:04:14| the big bucks we call that grocery money right you literally have the budget building and you yeah and it's nuts because they all kind
00:04:26| of look sort of the same uh-huh like when you break it down but they feel but they you walk in the door is automatically open I've never been to a supermarket where the doors didn't
00:04:39| automatically welcome you in because they want you to fill your arms with groceries and then oh they're with ease so we'll do a quick history lesson since I didn't write any of it down I just
00:04:50| kind of read it 36 I believe was the first official supermarket they had things that were like it in the 20s and like 30s and stuff like that like in hundred and sixty-five foot by 125 foot
00:05:08| corner of 95th and Broadway in Manhattan and he was gonna create this open-air mini mall that sold me fruit and flowers and all bunch of crap but it failed uh and then the Piggly Wiggly stores
00:05:25| particularly wiggling okay yeah I think his name was Clarence Saunders in the patents that I'm a lot of the patents I know your favorite friggin thing in the world still in biology today I think it
00:05:41| was for like the oat the design of the store the way it was Seltzer word Friday a vitality and vitality look it up later viability fire really feel like that worked
00:05:58| the flow that's a word is I literally majored in English it is a word by ality please stop moving on no no I refuse to slow down yet so for [ __ ] [Laughter]
00:06:21| moving on I don't have time for it so in like the 1920s and stuff do you know how they did like shopping and they have like the guy come to your door and drop off some milk umbrellas so the milk guy
00:06:32| and I think there was another guy that we drop stuff off at your house a mailman yeah he showed up at your house a lot hmm strange chin power [ __ ] it is the
00:06:49| know you would go to the like usually the housewives did this during the workweek they would go to the butcher and you would go into the butcher and wait in line and then flirt with the
00:06:59| butcher or whoever was behind the thing with the pudding game yeah and then you get your cut of meat and you'd always have the favourites you got by always like chicken thighs and pork cut like
00:07:09| this and he would weigh it out and put it on the thing and give it to you here you go man have a great day Sally well thanks Jim mm-hmm and like you know I mean it was like it
00:07:19| was cute but it took a lot of time it was not very cost-effective because you can only serve one patron at a time yeah they did this with candy other foods yeah the deli there was a whole bunch of
00:07:30| places but you would always wait in line it was kind of cool because you knew the people and it would make a social aspect of it but these entrepreneurs in the 20s and 30s and everything they said we can
00:07:40| save time and money make the customer the worker that's something you do is it yeah I would not like to wait they all would be looking at the person in front of me wondering why oh I'm sure that my
00:07:53| line oh so they made that they made these stores where you did all the shopping and you would get it in they had wicker baskets that you would put all your stuff in and most of these
00:08:06| entrepreneurs notice that they would fill up their cart that's about as heavy as they could handle and then get in line and buy their stuff and leave sounds pretty normal right
00:08:18| did you know if someone had to invent the shopping cart we're trying over Ned Goldman check that out he died I want to say like 10 15 years ago but um his big claim to fame give him in the shopping
00:08:33| cart so he invented this thing it was like so it was like folding chairs originally designed with baskets in the middle on wheels and it was so disgusting and ugly
00:08:44| it took him like a year or two to try and make a good one when he finally did make a good one it worked perfectly it wasn't gonna just fall over or break apart this is like the 1930s you might
00:08:56| have a year I don't know if you do but okay so anyway he makes it he's ready for everyone to do it he has a whole bunch ready he tells all these people about it come on into my store everyone
00:09:08| went in the store and no one used the goddamn car it was ugly there you go it was ugly and all the women were tired of pushing around baby carriages so you know what he did he
00:09:18| hired some beautiful God bin people it'll push him around and just shop all that with the car filling up their cart looking at things and yeah Oh everyone's doing it and eventually everyone started
00:09:34| doing it and it caught on and now I can't picture like shopping without a shopping cart that would be ridiculous isn't it annoying that you have to get like beautiful people to do things for
00:09:44| you to make it sell even if it was a great idea beautiful people it was like this is a genius idea hmm I need beautiful people to do it okay have you been to Aldi I have been segue
00:10:00| from you all me is that just Aldi reminds me of Coles and that everything is marked down like 30% but first it was marked up 40 percent I don't know no actually some is pre Pugh I remember the
00:10:14| first time I went to Aldi it was probably like 15 years ago and I didn't know you had that like I put a quarter in oh yeah under a quarter until you're done
00:10:24| so when I went to check out there was already cart there and I had like a little bit of stuff so I started putting my stuff in the cart and then the person who was checking me out the cashier
00:10:33| they're like no no and I was like uh excuse me like I just bought stuff here like I didn't know like her quarter was in the booth so I like oh wait she was like yelling at me and I was like I
00:10:46| don't like this place it's a stupid idea but I guess it promotes car responsibility yeah oh just hire somebody come on Aldi step up with bleep don't know what your spawn
00:11:01| deal with supermarkets everything's when you're like you go in the left side of the store right is that where you always go in I go on them so my entrance is on the right really do shopping the site to
00:11:14| the left your produce everything all my produce it isn't it funny the produce is like the begin with the minutes in advance yeah of course I'll get to the back with
00:11:23| the fish dairy everything the daily price is I guess because it's all refrigerated yeah makes sense right yeah I guess they're shipping comes in the back too plus it makes you go to the
00:11:34| back of the store dailies and then everything else in between is something that - a long time yeah it's preserved so you tell yeah maybe everything can its in boxes all
00:11:45| ready to go mm-hmm yeah well the impulse buys are the ones by the register what sucker is buying sodas and chocolate bars huh they even talked about the psychology of the
00:11:57| friggin cereal aisle which was my favorite aisle as a kid the height of the different boxes yeah keep those all the eyes on the cartoon staring at the low oh yeah the kids the expensive kids
00:12:10| cereals are like the just below the parents level right at kid level so they'll catch it did you get the bag cereal as a kid or you have the box no I got box full box expensive but you were
00:12:22| only allowed one per the three of us I think we would have to argue over who's was getting the good one oh yeah what was a good one I did honeycombs a lot I liked that one then it was a Cookie
00:12:33| Crisp Howsam goody okay lucky charity pebbles was junk but I loved it oops you did I did for loops I messed with them some lucky charm Stowe did you eat the oats first and leave the
00:12:44| marshmallows to the end yeah yeah yeah I knew I knew you would even like giant ball of marshmallow tradition and it was the best happy had all pleasure Delayer right there
00:12:59| I like how they'd have been like a drunk conversation like I'm sure there are drugs named after all yeah you like booty booty you like to demon duty yeah I saved the best of the end oh oh come
00:13:13| with me now related no Count Dracula no dude like stupid ones like uh you do Cheerios are they really healthy they trying to say your heart healthy no I think it was just like babies did it so
00:13:27| by the time I was like old enough to pick out cereals so I wanted like I went on a bit of sugar stuff yeah I'm out ha raisin bran wheat tins are we anything with rage we've enlisted joke do you
00:13:42| remember the California Raisins what was that about oh yeah yeah that's a do a thing yeah yeah was that to make us like raisin bran kind of worked heard it through the
00:13:54| grapevine yeah and that makes sense I didn't get the joke as a kid but that's where raisins come from a grapevine right back there yeah that's pretty clever
00:14:06| yeah gotta give them I wonder if it paid off cause it must have cost him a fortune claiming you know their mom were they related somehow to spot the red spot no idea what you're talking about
00:14:19| there was a red spot for like a soda sprite for someone for 7up red spot it was a red spot with arms and legs and I relate him to the raisins now I don't know if there was ever a crossover or
00:14:33| they both just happen to have a video game because I think they had a video game dude oh there's like this guy I'm like a skateboard or something or surfboard
00:14:42| yeah I think so he looked cool that's all I rule spy yeah was that his name there's a second game but all right that's probably it it looks exactly like the red spot Cola big
00:14:55| red said no it's something I don't think it was all about doesn't matter I was just curious that they've interchanged they didn't know no crossover so in today's time everything would have
00:15:08| cross together yeah that's a good point it kind of did back then I'll tell you why I think supermarkets is where you first get brand recognition at least back as a kid
00:15:19| weenies box oh yeah winners gold medal others ah the gold medalists that was a big deal wearing it then the Box Tops yeah our soul and that's wild hmm I guess they still have that like do
00:15:38| your kids do grocery shop or now I do are you the sole grocery shopper and where do you go with the kids dizzy yeah like two minutes away so that's money easy yeah it's on the way something's
00:15:51| gonna just burger that sounds familiar that's not from the original yeah that's like the biggest brands in the use of America and yeah - yeah it is I did come across that are they good I like them
00:16:05| they're like middle-of-the-road for everything which is part that makes sense that's yeah yeah that is perfect you got some value some quality some odds and ends some weird stuff and then
00:16:16| some bread and butter okay that's a decent price your bread and butter bread and butter I lived near an expensive like family-run one that I don't know there's more than two yeah it was um
00:16:30| headings and I lived literally about one mile from it maybe 0.78 miles because I ran their company so the best grocery store that isn't like a Wegmans or whatever that but it was so expensive
00:16:47| but I miss it like I miss that store huh it doesn't exist anymore no it's just the way I go there uh even then it's like I feel weird going back cause it's not mine anymore
00:17:03| it's like B a neighborhood neighborhood thing it really is like I'll go in there once every six months or four months but it doesn't feel like it's my grocery store
00:17:11| anymore I don't recognize any of the cash register people or like the employees like I know all the employees at this supermarket like I don't know them by name or anything I'm like ugh
00:17:22| the goofy one Jesus Christ is the one that wants to talk to everyone but I'm like oh my god it's the one that's like this person die like I have I have madness fear for everyone like a feeling
00:17:35| for them winners I out there's one guy he's like 400 pounds he's miserable mmm he's got to be like 50 I can't tell if he has an IQ issue or not but he's always fir his brow and all I do is see
00:17:52| him pushing carts in the rain I never see him when it's sunny I never see him in the store he's just in charge of all the carts outside when it's raining and I'm like god damn I feel bad every time
00:18:03| I see him just like yo it's okay they open that like I just say go to town and he just starts pushing carts whenever it's raining I guess I am weird cuz I worked at Target as a cashier and half
00:18:14| my job was doing that but I was overtaking most of the time by someone who had an IQ issue and okay they would always like take that job from me and I liked it I like pushing
00:18:27| carts because you got out of the store and you don't have to stand in one smooth rap dude was kind of just breathe the air and he kind of Frazee people people are tape people well and this the
00:18:39| grocery store I'm at right now Weis they employ a lot of people with a lower IQ and I don't know if it's a write-off thing or a disability thing or a coincidence I see people who work unless
00:18:51| is done a knock against cashiers and grocery store people but no I don't care yeah a lot of the people I see that I think or like smart knowledgeable like it's a very short time frame until they
00:19:04| leave the people I think are like with it like they never I've never seen anyone stay the entire time except super old people who are like okay stuck there just there well I don't
00:19:15| see there's a there's a weird thing about I don't think it's necessarily stuck or just it's worth it to them leggo the clock in there like they live two
00:19:22| minutes away it's a paycheck they don't have to really work very hard at it it's like pretty easy like it's a convenience thing good baby thing
00:19:36| if you think of the butcher's how much do you think the butcher do you think butchers make a decent Bank yeah Sean was telling me that they're um they're is nice guy like someone else might
00:19:52| nothing that's actually a decent my somebody is wrong well no this is a Hemings place it's the the it is yeah absolutely so the normal ones make 30k a year yeah
00:20:10| very nice suffering great see you're also doing the United States I think grocery stores are different by locale like I would actually put Philadelphia grocery stores above like like one in
00:20:26| like some podunk city in Idaho what do you know what I mean I don't know almost a requirement to have them but like once you get too close to Center City I don't feel like grocery stores really exist no
00:20:36| they don't they don't get better or exist because they need the space yeah obviously by by process needs a lot of land room and then because it's all spread out on one lower floor we can see
00:20:50| it are you gonna make the first-tier grocery store like a Rocko's I feel like rocko's modern like your only protocol shelves were like yeah do you think I and you would press a button and it
00:21:03| would move the shelves up or down in accordance with what you were looking for didn't really talk about margin like the grocery stores have like the slimmest margins for yeah they're very
00:21:12| slim and it depends on the item though like the sodas at the checkout nope nope nope nope but they're all that they call a lost leader bread butter milk those kind of things that you usually go to a
00:21:26| grocer you'll get them cheaper there than ever in fact they sometimes will sell it at call if not below to get someone in the doors because once you're in the door Michael
00:21:35| grab creamer oh shoot I forgot we're out of cereal oh no these ribs are on sale or something we need paper plates oh my God we're at traffic just looking at the margins precisely between one and three
00:21:49| percent that's wildly low that's insane just a few cents per item they make that's wild that crazy especially considering how much waste they usually go through
00:22:01| because you work it's like it do waste a lot too and it's for like Kroger which probably buys like a massive amount of items and ships them everywhere so most of these are like tied into like
00:22:14| trucking companies because they're gonna do truck all the stuff I'll ever II wear and it's that's the other thing it's like a timely thing this stuff expires mm-hmm
00:22:23| these goods will either go bad like we used to deal with Cisco trucking company that does a lot of supermarkets and um and like bar restaurant supplies like we used to do with my old jobs and Cisco
00:22:37| would pull over it's a refrigerator truck they take their stuff out to get to my stuff which is just too old favorite paper house I don't care it's on a refrigerated truck but they would
00:22:46| take out cases of lettuce cases of like kale like weird [ __ ] like um some fruits some veggies some cucumbers and crap and they would just throw it on the side of the road and then take off my stuff
00:23:01| and then throw it back on and in doing so hundred percent of the time a it was getting warm be stuff would be touching the ground or the sidewalk or the side of the truck or like all over or like
00:23:12| just be sitting on the side of the road but this is just no one tells the end user that that's happening to their food it's probably happening everywhere yeah that's why you wash your food check your
00:23:21| first place I mean and they have to do that because of you man if they're like ah this lettuce isn't perfect send it back you just bought 50,000 lettuce no one
00:23:30| gives a [ __ ] about this one no he's checking them no they're just freaking real it all in all those under grenade low IQ workers back there good lord I thought they were
00:23:44| paid it doesn't mean they're low IQ goodness gracious and IQs temporary it fluctuates don't worry about it I'm not the so there's there's a piece there like you kind of expect your food to be
00:24:01| cleanliness and I saw this one story about like Chinese gutter oil you know go to oil is literally like they scoop this oil out from like the drain and then cook it up and then separate the
00:24:17| pieces so that they get like the actual oil out of whatever it is and then they like stir-fry with it so it's literally garbage gutter gutter trash mmm-hmm a little bit of grease but
00:24:30| people don't know and some people eat it and some people survive in it so like what our level of cleanliness is nuts here's an insane thought what if what if it doesn't have a negative effect on
00:24:41| your health what if it makes you stronger well I wasn't gonna say that but like yeah I mean what if more resistant positive effects too in soccer on your glass or whatever maybe that'd
00:24:56| be weird and those people are the ones that survive the apocalypse because of the gamer oil ah well anything's possible hmm so we're talking about evolution a little bit do
00:25:05| you know um the grocery store has evoluted involved the fastest-growing thing right now because they all used to have a format where it'll be like place the billboard here on the right and then
00:25:17| place this item here next to bill always has to go near poultry or you know enemy these two have layouts now it's become a little more niche there's actually a rise in variety I believe in a lot of
00:25:32| the items and a big big big uptick in the past three to ten years in organic mmm this is freaking put the word organic on something it's like growing in a twenty two percent rate over the
00:25:42| past few years and the article I read and I was like that's kind of cool yeah like it's good another one is um they don't say low calorie or low fat because when we were
00:25:53| growing up I think that was there's a rage no trans fat yeah yeah just calories low calories and low-fat sugar-free the best thing as you're getting loaded night well they didn't
00:26:06| say that yeah that's what it was get your sh get your [ __ ] here I'll shovel it in your mouth yeah but now it's organics natural um natural I got controlled word I know it
00:26:21| is until words ah oh you got some of them I don't have it at the moment but okay you've come across these so there's like word keywords that like flash that's kind of what supermarkets are
00:26:33| really the beginning of I think they came out before TV commercials were mainstream this is like we're TV commercials started like it was like they had
00:26:43| keywords on products that would sell they had keywords in the aisles they had keywords on boxes that's where you made your money that's where you sold or didn't sell your packaging word of mouth
00:26:58| all that stuff kind of began with supermarkets it was like the first internet first commercial the first I picked her like a 1960s housewife like perfectly dressed with those outfits
00:27:11| they wore and smiling and taking a turkey out of the oven you know after a long day did you come across any of those words they have a gigantic document and the first thing I scroll to
00:27:21| was juice juice means the aqueous liquid expressed or extracted from one or more fruits or vegetables purees of the edible portions of one or more fruits or vegetables or any concentrates of such
00:27:31| liquids or pure ice so juice doesn't mean anything it expressly means that the aqueous liquid they expressed from but they have Control board's you can use natural like natural peanut butter
00:27:44| it doesn't mean anything like it's supposed to mean then it's better for you they're implying it right but oh so you saying you can use the word natural no matter what yeah what's it like over
00:27:55| the homonyms like new low prices like when they spelt like ello or like high-performance H I - performance it's like I went up that's classified it's like something that really actually has
00:28:08| to perform highly well vs. Laura could also be well it could also be in one one category which might have to be related to food at all like it burns the fastest can you
00:28:22| imagine - in the answers in the back burns quicker than most of the leading competitors it's like this is - turkey I don't know high performance no my costly grocery
00:28:40| store is it's a Randall's and it has linked to [ __ ] quality it's just expensive it's very weird it feels like me but no it's not even that great it's just like it has an attitude when you go
00:28:54| in there and it's a little bit snobby for no reason at all sanity I think that Randall's Wow you heard it here first folks do you know there's still like one of
00:29:07| the few places everyone goes like everyone in your neighborhood goes so you'll run into everyone I mean neighborhood wise if I knew anybody yeah there you go
00:29:17| won't pure popular yeah if they were like running into an ex at a grocery store I met my wife at a grocery store you met her in college first time I actually dated her it was because I saw
00:29:29| her at a grocery store she was in the meat aisle I said hey what are you looking at over there wait did she recognize it yeah she knew me immediately oh okay from your meat
00:29:42| selection or the way you pointed it to me check under the waiter link click click click click the the funniest is the interactions I have with people who I sorta know oh my god oh my god what's
00:29:56| up and I my brain just knows I know them so I'm making a bigger deal they don't know to find another name you just like have a big bro I don't know their name at all and I'm like this oh my god it's
00:30:07| probably someone so his best friend and then like as I'm trying to figure it out they're trying to figure me out they're like oh my god dude I just come here I'm like getting my food and then I say
00:30:15| things like I'm just check it out the next aisle and they're like it's awesome then the one time I knew it was like Kayla doesn't like the spinach that comes from this I have to get frozen
00:30:26| spinach or she won't eat it put the other one Sara she doesn't do this and I'm like they're crazy and I didn't know if that was his kids or not I was I'm pretty sure this isn't white
00:30:36| it doesn't matter anyway I was like ah and then I remembered who he was I was like oh I met you once like you were at a neighborhood party so you're somewhere near my neighborhood which is why you're
00:30:49| at my neighborhood grocery store I don't need to be nice to you or anything I was like ah all right man well I'll catch you later dude and like he was like I see yeah I think he was like figuring
00:30:59| out to it I was just like it was cool I thought it was like you went to like some really weird festival it was like a lettuce festival and like he was being very descriptive of the lettuce because
00:31:10| you had met there he's like let us let us be friends and I was like excuse me and he's like our online forum let us be friends I was like no it's like are you here for the arugula and you're both
00:31:26| like standing right mmm it's fresh it just came in this day so you want smells aromatic and bouquet is surely the other end of it it's the coolest thing that's ever happened to me this happened last
00:31:37| week my landlord they tossed your cucumbers do you mean salad oh okay mm-hmm okay you said it my landlord and I don't get along she's like super friendly with
00:31:56| everyone else in the house except me I always get her dumb kids names she's your mum four kids and one of them stone I just forget their names cuz they're like Italian teenagers like Gianna be on
00:32:11| about Hana and I'm like okay whatever I don't care and I'm like I pay you way too much in rent I don't like you and I don't hate her either but I hate putting on the air of talking with her and ask
00:32:20| her how she's doing I don't even do it and she doesn't do it with me it's cool I saw her in the supermarket and I was like she's gonna make a thing of it I'm with my son she's with that daughter I
00:32:28| forgot which one and anyway I totally locked eyes with her and looked her daughter and then kind of kept going like 10 feet away and she didn't say anything and I kept going and kept going
00:32:41| and her daughter said something like I think it was my son's name and no one said anything and I kept going and I was like oh my god holy nurse I mean she pretended not to see me and I pretended
00:32:54| not to see her because we were good we're just grocery shopping we'd have time for this [ __ ] and it was beautiful umm I was I was proud of her thank you whatever your name is
00:33:03| that's the weirdest part about knowing somebody that you don't want to know how do you successfully ignore them without interacting with them even though they're super close to you holy I should
00:33:14| I should have been like oh my god that's great to see you I'm grocery shopping she says oh that's so funny um grocery shopping and then you both say something about the weather or something about the
00:33:24| Superbowl where I don't know you you pick a thing to your later daughter married okay see it figure he said how is the weather looks fine to me mm-hmm those peas in that car mm-hmm Ka'ala do
00:33:43| you like tossed lightly shredded did you know um if you look there's like a ton of like men my wife in a grocery store how to hook up from a grocery store and grocery stores a good place to pick up
00:34:00| women you know I mentioned this in the intro if you put if you grab a pineapple and put it aside out in your car it's a message to everyone else in the grocery store in a certain community do you
00:34:14| really like pineapples you know as you put it in upside down you're into swinging swinging less like upside down pineapple yeah swingers it's like a thing it's like not super well known so
00:34:27| by the time everyone here is in this episode there have to change it because everyone's gonna be goofing around on it I blew up their spot mm-hmm pineapple cake no upside down pineapple the fruit
00:34:40| you got put it in your car upside down it alerts everyone else in the grocery store that you are open to swim or someone's change partner yeah what is that is that it's oh my god that's
00:34:51| someone breaking carrying a pineapple a new things getting all that pineapple thing for a second while I upside-down pineapple and brings up too many recipes no they had to Carver it doctor say fine
00:35:16| shopping cart let's just keep it start shopping cart first you'd add a Google search it's all about the order you put things there's other things other activities outside of marriage front
00:35:36| porks like a jack-o'-lantern ooh he put on your front porch is that where you put it oh I did that is that where you do it to show a room where the party is I have no idea
00:35:45| I've never done this hang on fine apples from trees oh that's interesting wrote pineapples of people I like you I'm buried it's a pineapple okay no I'm still married you know what though you
00:36:02| know what a jackfruit means know what's a jackfruit it's a terrible fruit but it means you're partying alone because it's terrible and it's just a terrible fruit
00:36:14| there's no I don't know that this knocking will ever stop it might not but that's fine you have to ignore the knocking until it falls asleep it's a weird face this is what happened
00:36:28| yeah yeah like weird the UM the other thing that once slumped down the other thing to keep in mind is uh I think I read that there were like white clumps that have to do with the grocery stores
00:36:43| oh yeah do you know there's different crowds at these grocery stores if you go at 11:00 p.m. that one that stays open till midnight on the weekends you will find a
00:36:55| whole different crowd than you will Monday new you know what I mean there are people that shop the same time the same day every week and it's a weird crew
00:37:05| sometimes you see people you run it you see them every week you're like ah Jesus it's us again on Monday shopper on Monday shopper that's great and you almost recognize them you know
00:37:16| what they do you form like secret friendships with them you're like we always get the same thing or like secret like enemy ships with them enemy ships I knew you were gonna question it as I
00:37:32| said it but that's fine and I'm like ah that son of a [ __ ] is gonna get the minute made rice a good oh geez magnet lockers the people that just sit there I had one woman that just that literally
00:37:44| she had she was disabled so she had one of those electric wheelchairs but she Saturday 30 minutes I don't know what she was doing I had to go I walked up to the other I'm at the store to get my
00:37:55| mother produce and I walk back and she was still later well that is a very long time that's a problem so wait do you shop the same way every time you go up and down the aisles like a regular know
00:38:07| not every aisle I usually have about three things I need to really get and then everything else is just kind of what I feel just wait but I do willing to plot out the order
00:38:17| of things like with the most of the fishing route like if I need to get me this and that's in order how is that different like do you would never go out of order from the aisles I mean if
00:38:28| you're skipping certain aisles you know not to go through them okay you can skip an aisle or two that's not called planning the most genius real skip an aisle or two you have to cook through
00:38:36| the ones that you need it's efficient you must save you time Nick oh he's doing I'm you're ruining your life no I'll skip one or two aisles but I only have 12 aisles in the whole store so I
00:38:50| just skip to and go up and down them in order because that's the most random liquor I feel like you just like oh look at all this - grass net I'm always trying to any idea of genes in something
00:39:05| and then I think for a minute because I don't really cook a lot and I'm like I don't know what goes with lima beans I could ever what buy beans are have a child that thanks so loudly
00:39:21| yes longer it's gonna be a problem like bird's wings I think it's it can hear your voice what if we did an experiment where you were quiet for eighteen seconds starting
00:39:41| now so I was in the grocery miss based on recent don't so I was in the grocery store and today I I go to Jim and my job and I bring a change of clothes and I put him on whatever forgot underwear so
00:39:59| the rest of my day I went L commando and then I went right to the grocery store after working and I was like it's just one of those days we're gonna pick up at stake I pick up this you go do this and
00:40:08| I realize I'm just wearing jeans t-shirt no undies you know sexual so as I was walking around I was a couple of the moms you know that some of the 5-second male and I was really tempted to grab
00:40:32| stuff off the top shelf just to kind of show off a little bit of belly a little bit of the big reach oh let me get that plus he matches that maybe maybe bend over and grips on the bottom here but I
00:40:54| honestly felt a little a little risque hang a little I don't know like I always I was the belle of the ball at the supermarket tonight now my competition was literally hello was there 30 other
00:41:06| people in the store with me at the time maybe 40 I don't know it's hard to gauge by the sound of a battering ram against your door people work we're in the supermarket at the time but I felt like
00:41:20| I was the prettiest on the ball who's the prettiest yeah like I was the most desirable persons from market for the first time in my life it felt really great I like
00:41:30| it when you're you and somebody else are the two prettiest and you keep switching like crossing lanes oh I'll yeah they're going up you're going down there go up you're going down they're gonna hope
00:41:41| you're going down meet eyes every time you're like huh what are the chances you again one aisle later but what are the chances you again what an aisle later is this mad it's just happening every time
00:41:53| the pineapple I'll look at each other I hope happens to me when I'm much older have you ever used a grocery store or better huh yeah why would you with the war pretty kid number two yeah you drop
00:42:20| it so you drop in twos and the supermarket mmm not usually if it's far if I'm far away okay that make sense uh-huh so let me talk about like what supermarkets really mean to me because
00:42:38| we when I was younger I always used to go to the grocery store supermarket with my mom so like whenever I go to a grocery store supermarket the music is always like from that era it was like
00:42:50| we're WI inherently yeah reminds me of like those times I want my mom it makes me happy every time I don't I don't know [Applause] yeah I forgot where I was going
00:43:18| it's down to a planar source exactly there's a good feel that happens and it's never I've never entered grocery store and been like I feel terrible here like the possibilities because of what I
00:43:29| mentioned a little bit meaning it's like you're home it's like a regional thing it's your neighborhood grocery store it's always kind of the same and you notice when they change things like oh
00:43:38| my god did you see what they did and someone's like yeah they move the pistachios and put up a sign and everyone's making a big deal of it it's really not a big deal but it's like your
00:43:46| slice of I don't know nothing yeah so it's good for place yeah it kind of is I can totally see some women go in there and clean it up finding sexual mates in there oh I do you think that's
00:44:01| impossible no I think the only place you're forced to go yeah it's weird I like it so what do you think about the future of grocery stores I think they're gonna lose out the same way all the
00:44:17| other things are gonna lose out to like the Amazon online ordering okay like the livings up or the instacart River it is that they put the groceries in your car they have those carts they wheel around
00:44:28| and block everything and we did um super fresh actually ironically enough offers a service thing it's called pretty quad something like that quad it's just a nickname for a sub service they offer
00:44:39| where they will deliver groceries to the elderly so being elderly and then you know they start but they don't care if you're really other lis or not but we um we do
00:44:52| it once a year on our trip before we go down the shore we have to deliver all our produce that we're gonna need for the week to the house and we do it on the day that we're leaving or in a
00:45:02| rezoning so we're 10 a.m. yeah we get it put it all in the car and it's all fairly fresh and they deliver it we don't go to the grocery store and I'm always like why don't we do this all the
00:45:11| time she's like they charge extra I'm like oh yeah would you so I don't know if I like people picking out my like fruits and vegetables and then delivering it to me
00:45:24| hurry right because you don't get to squeeze them tomatoes it's like you even know how to tell if a fruits ripe or not I just do what everyone else is doing it's like inherently know there's
00:45:36| something you know the texture brown spots or black marks on a fruit it's like that's a no-go but like an avocado I think it's supposed to be about turned soft it's about to like it's not soft
00:45:51| yet it's a bat you know something's about to be soft you can feel it it's not as hard as all the others it's like slightly less hardened it's firm yes it's a firm knock on your door yeah I do
00:46:05| the UH you just reminded me of one other thing I don't know how that everyone tests their food do you check all your dates mmm I was a date nothing yeah
00:46:17| yogurt and milk yeah no guy always late because they always cheat you salads they put the crappy buy from uh-huh listen Stu scan it don't let me know that non-discounted
00:46:29| milk it you know terrible terrible deed to me I place does it with me like zones York Strip or something like that but selling it like cheap the day of the expiration date or whatever and I guess
00:46:41| oh yeah I'll buy a just bought some steaks tonight it's a New York Strip baby cost me like 14 bucks for three pieces that I made roll them off yeah yeah buddy I know what's up if you're
00:46:56| gonna if you're gonna cook it that night what's the difference boom make sense to me yeah there's it's strange because it's like usually I bring it up and it's like
00:47:08| card a little membership thing and that money disappears ten bucks crazy how much we spend on groceries and at the grocery store and they are winning in some spots like their plates
00:47:24| of towels their toilet paper that kind of stuff that you get there they're killing it but who cares what do you think my own any check outs cuz that that was in our lifetime right you have
00:47:36| a story about this I believe doing one of the funnier ones yeah I thought you were the one who was like waiting to hit yet all her groceries and you were waiting and so I was like oh and then
00:47:48| you sold Clark and you really finally someone's gonna help me any-any and he brought you if you brought you to an automated one where you had to do your own because I was
00:48:02| waiting in the line with the cashier and I was loaded up it and he was like oh oh here start kind over here and he led me right to one where I can do it myself when I was like but not the same that is
00:48:20| totally the future of a grocery chain sadly but sometimes I hate to do it if I'm getting like 40 40 items we're forgetting like 6 things like it's a no-brainer for me mm-hmm
00:48:33| the other thing is the grocer's at the one I go to now which is like like yours like middle of the road middle prices middle items whatever the employees who check you out are paid by the hour as in
00:48:48| I've never seen slower pricing ringing up bagging and scanning I almost want to reach over they're gonna be like you think they generally had a bonus based on how quickly to a degree I think if
00:49:05| they're doubling someone else absolutely you should be paid more yeah if it's 10% more I don't care but a hundred percent more yeah cuz some of them will get it really huh and they don't even don't
00:49:16| even talk to me they're just like and then they're looking like which one do I grab next ironically that's an art you know yeah grabbing - gaining a dyke and then
00:49:30| typing in the number and then the land control yeah oh yeah no me never get another bag Oh actually you say that keep it separate never never the same oh it's not covered in meat juices well
00:49:50| do you think it is before it makes it to where you just dealt with it Cardon juice yeah nasty particles bacteria oh I you better not find out where your food
00:50:02| comes from so I'm gonna tell you ya know there's an art to I think some places actually have contests it's called a bagging contest where they'll scan it as quick as I can like young hotshots like
00:50:18| doesn't see how many bags they can do in any time it's like 24 28 seconds and they have contests and lady that's a real thing why how I'm not sure but I respect it and there are definitely good
00:50:30| baggers and bad baggers right coupons if you use coupons no I don't that's horrible do you use coupons no here are several coupon coupons I found you probably
00:50:50| pronounced it with the U and it key you get your coupons thank you it's free coupons this guy but I know that was one of the shows I figure it was called like the coupon clipper people that like they
00:51:07| stack somebody coupons that like it costs almost nothing I like that they like and a mathematical element and then the hoarding I love hoarding stuff I wish that I could do that but I'm far
00:51:20| too lazy to like look through different articles and likes circulars and tried one stuff app yeah just give me it and you're I didn't talk about my coupon app that's what I just brought it up I just
00:51:33| said you tried to design an act that would do is exactly yeah it would auto clip all the digital coupons and put it on your account and it kind of worked but it was only for
00:51:42| like four bucks a week and it didn't seem to work for me because I don't know if it was because I was in a different locale or something didn't work with mine I don't think everyday maybe I did
00:51:52| yours but like I think you did wide Wiese didn't have that many district coupons oh it's a no digit also wasn't worth it yeah I tried this with multiple people and like the most successful one
00:52:03| was a chibi because like they have a ton of digital I like a thousands and like it would give you some money back but not enough but it was not worth not even cheating the system was I like wow I
00:52:16| feel like I'm winning like no I was like this is worthless like do you like Reseda different really yeah I'm done I wish that could have been my thing pretty sure someone else who tried and
00:52:28| failed and realize the same thing I did or coupons Cubans each cube this when when do you grocery shop is it the same every week yeah usually I kind of I'm them usually the one who goes the
00:52:41| grocery store and like does the main shopping and it's usually like me yeah what probably like middle of the day when the kids are sleeping either Saturday or Sunday like from like 100k
00:52:54| that makes sense yeah and then your weekend yeah or if it's like the meets like I like to go pick up the meat like that day did you get the special you did the meats for the week mmm no not
00:53:06| usually like I'll get like one day like chicken I usually like the steaks I get the day of okay but I have to bank on it being there and then I feel like flip the coin and what I actually do pick up
00:53:17| weeks that's squared like do you know what I remember as a kid I thought you maybe did what if you really yeah yeah the memories one of the things I did as a kid is I would stare at that white
00:53:36| tile floor and it was open air plan like the shelves only go so high and then everything else is open and there are lights above everything so it looks very white clean very light everywhere and I
00:53:50| would stare at the floor and chase the lights reflecting off of the tile yeah so they would reflect off the tile and you could catch up to them eventually hmm like be walking along in
00:54:03| it wouldn't it wouldn't be as quick as your feet move because it's how far it is it's a distance versus your eye level thing but like you could take like ten steps and it would slowly inch the the
00:54:13| light closer and I would step on the light it's crazy I think it was looking like warlocks in those basement yeah uh-huh what about a man anyway just I
00:54:26| remember that's one of my first memories maybe as a person chasing patterns moving having fun laughs and giggling chasing a shopping cart and I mean I was just shopping tonight in my jeans no
00:54:40| underwear showing off to any of the moms in the area but I still saw the light reflecting off the ground and at one point I took like three steps towards it and totally stepped on it like gotcha
00:54:50| this is like a throwback I don't know if I can still do it as I'm grabbing radishes and stuff do you write I full-sized one of those racecar carts you know they do it mine and my son used
00:55:05| to have to be in it yeah he got really upset when we wouldn't talk about yeah two years ago I haven't had to drive that stupid monstrosity around the supermarket so oh
00:55:17| yeah well it's like two-tiered is you're just like two-tiered in the bottom it sticks out or is it the one that has it on the front front front okay I kind of like those because it distracts them and
00:55:28| they like you not to deal with them and right there playing with the wheel whatever I via free banana your story is what that was a pre-bid oh yeah well you have a kid you get a free banana oh
00:55:39| that's [ __ ] no because I just stolen it knowing those two did yeah go after you you ever stole anything from a grocery store I stole I still think about the one that
00:55:55| sold no I don't think I ever stole anything there's like rosemary or thyme or some [ __ ] and I just needed a sprig I totally put in my pocket and as I was checking
00:56:09| out with five other items and I was like my voice was squeaking I was sweating there were like anything else I was like I don't have anything else take it take it take it I'm so sorry
00:56:28| can't can't take a good deal with him anymore yeah I like stole that probably it was like 80 cents to a dollar 30 it could have been margarine what's that Marjorie Lin no the flower nerd marjoram
00:56:46| yeah you know yeah no I'm like and one's ever said before out loud neither and I that's why I'm bringing it up here so we covered a lot with supermarkets I mean we did I bet you didn't think we'd get
00:57:01| this psychological this emotional is nostalgic there's one piece of information then oh please do what do you got how do you want to end it up so I
00:57:09| figured well I'm on the Russian President came here to NASA like way back when when it was a communist state it still is but when it was like hardcore hobby
00:57:20| mister mmm and like the comparison between the variety of what we have versus if you ever seen a Russian grocery store where they do one of everything
00:57:30| one-nil quanta Hado unbelief and they only have like 12 products and they just like are like hacking up like dead animals so they get like serve them it's like a stark contrast of the reality
00:57:44| versus what we exist in and like when we pick up something that's like not organic can we go oh that's gross no that tastes bad like someone else in some part of the world is like pilfering
00:57:55| garbage away or like I don't get to choose yeah supermarkets are kind of like the peak of capitalism it is really the best it's capitalism at its highest point I think it peaked with
00:58:08| supermarkets it's them yeah it involves all of your senses yeah it's wild I'm gonna miss them when they're gone when everything gets delivered in tiny packages covered
00:58:27| enough to cover in plastic I already need or whatever I don't know inserted right where you want it I'm gonna be wearing no underwear my jeans and just at home hoping mom comes and delivers it
00:58:41| or that delivery guy maybe he'll notice I don't know somebody noticed somebody say that say that's that's nice to get some arugula in here I could use some marjoram so we talked about a lot we
00:58:55| talked about the rise of the supermarket it might be on the decline as we speak I'm trying to keep up I don't think so buddy yeah I don't know moles I thought would
00:59:08| last forever they're kind of anyway hold another episode yeah might be a good episode it would be so supermarkets folks don't take them for granted they got lots of
00:59:20| crazy wild stuff going on all the workers in there that you kind of know but don't really know all the little Affairs that might be flinging around in there god damn it put a pineapple
00:59:30| upside-down just see what happens one day we did that nothing happened but it's a small hello give it another shot ripple effect it's coming back at you it could be buy some new foods do some
00:59:43| weird [ __ ] try and steal some marjoram don't legally don't in the meantime and in the comments below your favorite part of grocery stores any memories any anything

01:00:11| grocery stores a lot like I will choose to go to grocery store rather than stay home 100% I love grocery shopping what's so weird you can kind of tell somebody by their cart their personality
01:00:23| because and the way they shop yeah whether they're couponing whether or not they're getting in that self checkout aisle how quickly they Bank themselves how much toilet paper they're willing to

00:00:32| and put an upside down pineapple and come on let's talk about the secrets of supermarkets so I'm Dan and I'm Nick folks we're old friends dissecting one topic at a time people technology media
00:00:52| we've got it all covered each discussion here is a deep dive in or unique perspective the taboo forbidden subjects they're all on the chopping block baby we don't pander to popular opinion we
00:01:05| think you can get a little bit dirty morning this podcast may contain pure language and sexual contents and is for entertainment purposes only please join us have a good time
00:01:17| [Music] and here we are again the unbanned arose with my folks dan that's then and I'm Nick that's Nick welcome that's me super mark I literally think
00:01:57| supermarkets is a super interesting topic huh I mean you can Jerry Seinfeld it what's the deal with supermarkets yeah you can tell a million of those stories you got in line next to a guy
00:02:09| and he's looking at your line and you're saying well this is my line pal I'm not going to do that for the rest of the episode like I should forty minutes straight so Marcus what do they mean to
00:02:23| you Nick what do they mean to me well should I lead with a definition from Wikipedia it's everyone's favor that's what the the deepest meaning you can derive the cheapest meaning I can
00:02:32| derive it's a self-service shop you heard it here first folks we love self servicing its offers a wide variety of food beverages and household products organized into sections is larger and
00:02:48| has a wider selection than earlier grocery stores I'm gonna smaller more limited than hypermarkets that's not a thing I've never heard of it and the other kind of important part was that
00:02:59| it's all on one floor usually isn't that kind of cool on one floor I have seen I guess baked this come on yeah but that's not a real supermarket when you go to the supermarket like which was your
00:03:14| supermarket growing up you it like you had a supermarket super fresh for acne oh I had acne did you have a super fresher than who are you guys went mm-hmm which doesn't exist anymore I
00:03:26| don't think which one they both like this super fresh exists yeah good one out here you think I don't you I mean I haven't gone been variety no I think that's the other thing like they all
00:03:41| have reputations within reputations so like your supermarket is is regional and local level and it's something that you go to either every other day or like once a week or once
00:03:53| every week and a half or you know 10 days and everyone goes you all have one that you usually go to and you buy certain products because it's a convenient B it's how you survive
00:04:04| it's like your food for the week your plates people often get toilet paper stuff like that I mean you can go to CVS we're splitting hairs but the supermarket is kind of where you spend
00:04:14| the big bucks we call that grocery money right you literally have the budget building and you yeah and it's nuts because they all kind
00:04:26| of look sort of the same uh-huh like when you break it down but they feel but they you walk in the door is automatically open I've never been to a supermarket where the doors didn't
00:04:39| automatically welcome you in because they want you to fill your arms with groceries and then oh they're with ease so we'll do a quick history lesson since I didn't write any of it down I just
00:04:50| kind of read it 36 I believe was the first official supermarket they had things that were like it in the 20s and like 30s and stuff like that like in hundred and sixty-five foot by 125 foot
00:05:08| corner of 95th and Broadway in Manhattan and he was gonna create this open-air mini mall that sold me fruit and flowers and all bunch of crap but it failed uh and then the Piggly Wiggly stores
00:05:25| particularly wiggling okay yeah I think his name was Clarence Saunders in the patents that I'm a lot of the patents I know your favorite friggin thing in the world still in biology today I think it
00:05:41| was for like the oat the design of the store the way it was Seltzer word Friday a vitality and vitality look it up later viability fire really feel like that worked
00:05:58| the flow that's a word is I literally majored in English it is a word by ality please stop moving on no no I refuse to slow down yet so for [ __ ] [Laughter]
00:06:21| moving on I don't have time for it so in like the 1920s and stuff do you know how they did like shopping and they have like the guy come to your door and drop off some milk umbrellas so the milk guy
00:06:32| and I think there was another guy that we drop stuff off at your house a mailman yeah he showed up at your house a lot hmm strange chin power [ __ ] it is the
00:06:49| know you would go to the like usually the housewives did this during the workweek they would go to the butcher and you would go into the butcher and wait in line and then flirt with the
00:06:59| butcher or whoever was behind the thing with the pudding game yeah and then you get your cut of meat and you'd always have the favourites you got by always like chicken thighs and pork cut like
00:07:09| this and he would weigh it out and put it on the thing and give it to you here you go man have a great day Sally well thanks Jim mm-hmm and like you know I mean it was like it
00:07:19| was cute but it took a lot of time it was not very cost-effective because you can only serve one patron at a time yeah they did this with candy other foods yeah the deli there was a whole bunch of
00:07:30| places but you would always wait in line it was kind of cool because you knew the people and it would make a social aspect of it but these entrepreneurs in the 20s and 30s and everything they said we can
00:07:40| save time and money make the customer the worker that's something you do is it yeah I would not like to wait they all would be looking at the person in front of me wondering why oh I'm sure that my
00:07:53| line oh so they made that they made these stores where you did all the shopping and you would get it in they had wicker baskets that you would put all your stuff in and most of these
00:08:06| entrepreneurs notice that they would fill up their cart that's about as heavy as they could handle and then get in line and buy their stuff and leave sounds pretty normal right
00:08:18| did you know if someone had to invent the shopping cart we're trying over Ned Goldman check that out he died I want to say like 10 15 years ago but um his big claim to fame give him in the shopping
00:08:33| cart so he invented this thing it was like so it was like folding chairs originally designed with baskets in the middle on wheels and it was so disgusting and ugly
00:08:44| it took him like a year or two to try and make a good one when he finally did make a good one it worked perfectly it wasn't gonna just fall over or break apart this is like the 1930s you might
00:08:56| have a year I don't know if you do but okay so anyway he makes it he's ready for everyone to do it he has a whole bunch ready he tells all these people about it come on into my store everyone
00:09:08| went in the store and no one used the goddamn car it was ugly there you go it was ugly and all the women were tired of pushing around baby carriages so you know what he did he
00:09:18| hired some beautiful God bin people it'll push him around and just shop all that with the car filling up their cart looking at things and yeah Oh everyone's doing it and eventually everyone started
00:09:34| doing it and it caught on and now I can't picture like shopping without a shopping cart that would be ridiculous isn't it annoying that you have to get like beautiful people to do things for
00:09:44| you to make it sell even if it was a great idea beautiful people it was like this is a genius idea hmm I need beautiful people to do it okay have you been to Aldi I have been segue
00:10:00| from you all me is that just Aldi reminds me of Coles and that everything is marked down like 30% but first it was marked up 40 percent I don't know no actually some is pre Pugh I remember the
00:10:14| first time I went to Aldi it was probably like 15 years ago and I didn't know you had that like I put a quarter in oh yeah under a quarter until you're done
00:10:24| so when I went to check out there was already cart there and I had like a little bit of stuff so I started putting my stuff in the cart and then the person who was checking me out the cashier
00:10:33| they're like no no and I was like uh excuse me like I just bought stuff here like I didn't know like her quarter was in the booth so I like oh wait she was like yelling at me and I was like I
00:10:46| don't like this place it's a stupid idea but I guess it promotes car responsibility yeah oh just hire somebody come on Aldi step up with bleep don't know what your spawn
00:11:01| deal with supermarkets everything's when you're like you go in the left side of the store right is that where you always go in I go on them so my entrance is on the right really do shopping the site to
00:11:14| the left your produce everything all my produce it isn't it funny the produce is like the begin with the minutes in advance yeah of course I'll get to the back with
00:11:23| the fish dairy everything the daily price is I guess because it's all refrigerated yeah makes sense right yeah I guess they're shipping comes in the back too plus it makes you go to the
00:11:34| back of the store dailies and then everything else in between is something that - a long time yeah it's preserved so you tell yeah maybe everything can its in boxes all
00:11:45| ready to go mm-hmm yeah well the impulse buys are the ones by the register what sucker is buying sodas and chocolate bars huh they even talked about the psychology of the
00:11:57| friggin cereal aisle which was my favorite aisle as a kid the height of the different boxes yeah keep those all the eyes on the cartoon staring at the low oh yeah the kids the expensive kids
00:12:10| cereals are like the just below the parents level right at kid level so they'll catch it did you get the bag cereal as a kid or you have the box no I got box full box expensive but you were
00:12:22| only allowed one per the three of us I think we would have to argue over who's was getting the good one oh yeah what was a good one I did honeycombs a lot I liked that one then it was a Cookie
00:12:33| Crisp Howsam goody okay lucky charity pebbles was junk but I loved it oops you did I did for loops I messed with them some lucky charm Stowe did you eat the oats first and leave the
00:12:44| marshmallows to the end yeah yeah yeah I knew I knew you would even like giant ball of marshmallow tradition and it was the best happy had all pleasure Delayer right there
00:12:59| I like how they'd have been like a drunk conversation like I'm sure there are drugs named after all yeah you like booty booty you like to demon duty yeah I saved the best of the end oh oh come
00:13:13| with me now related no Count Dracula no dude like stupid ones like uh you do Cheerios are they really healthy they trying to say your heart healthy no I think it was just like babies did it so
00:13:27| by the time I was like old enough to pick out cereals so I wanted like I went on a bit of sugar stuff yeah I'm out ha raisin bran wheat tins are we anything with rage we've enlisted joke do you
00:13:42| remember the California Raisins what was that about oh yeah yeah that's a do a thing yeah yeah was that to make us like raisin bran kind of worked heard it through the
00:13:54| grapevine yeah and that makes sense I didn't get the joke as a kid but that's where raisins come from a grapevine right back there yeah that's pretty clever
00:14:06| yeah gotta give them I wonder if it paid off cause it must have cost him a fortune claiming you know their mom were they related somehow to spot the red spot no idea what you're talking about
00:14:19| there was a red spot for like a soda sprite for someone for 7up red spot it was a red spot with arms and legs and I relate him to the raisins now I don't know if there was ever a crossover or
00:14:33| they both just happen to have a video game because I think they had a video game dude oh there's like this guy I'm like a skateboard or something or surfboard
00:14:42| yeah I think so he looked cool that's all I rule spy yeah was that his name there's a second game but all right that's probably it it looks exactly like the red spot Cola big
00:14:55| red said no it's something I don't think it was all about doesn't matter I was just curious that they've interchanged they didn't know no crossover so in today's time everything would have
00:15:08| cross together yeah that's a good point it kind of did back then I'll tell you why I think supermarkets is where you first get brand recognition at least back as a kid
00:15:19| weenies box oh yeah winners gold medal others ah the gold medalists that was a big deal wearing it then the Box Tops yeah our soul and that's wild hmm I guess they still have that like do
00:15:38| your kids do grocery shop or now I do are you the sole grocery shopper and where do you go with the kids dizzy yeah like two minutes away so that's money easy yeah it's on the way something's
00:15:51| gonna just burger that sounds familiar that's not from the original yeah that's like the biggest brands in the use of America and yeah - yeah it is I did come across that are they good I like them
00:16:05| they're like middle-of-the-road for everything which is part that makes sense that's yeah yeah that is perfect you got some value some quality some odds and ends some weird stuff and then
00:16:16| some bread and butter okay that's a decent price your bread and butter bread and butter I lived near an expensive like family-run one that I don't know there's more than two yeah it was um
00:16:30| headings and I lived literally about one mile from it maybe 0.78 miles because I ran their company so the best grocery store that isn't like a Wegmans or whatever that but it was so expensive
00:16:47| but I miss it like I miss that store huh it doesn't exist anymore no it's just the way I go there uh even then it's like I feel weird going back cause it's not mine anymore
00:17:03| it's like B a neighborhood neighborhood thing it really is like I'll go in there once every six months or four months but it doesn't feel like it's my grocery store
00:17:11| anymore I don't recognize any of the cash register people or like the employees like I know all the employees at this supermarket like I don't know them by name or anything I'm like ugh
00:17:22| the goofy one Jesus Christ is the one that wants to talk to everyone but I'm like oh my god it's the one that's like this person die like I have I have madness fear for everyone like a feeling
00:17:35| for them winners I out there's one guy he's like 400 pounds he's miserable mmm he's got to be like 50 I can't tell if he has an IQ issue or not but he's always fir his brow and all I do is see
00:17:52| him pushing carts in the rain I never see him when it's sunny I never see him in the store he's just in charge of all the carts outside when it's raining and I'm like god damn I feel bad every time
00:18:03| I see him just like yo it's okay they open that like I just say go to town and he just starts pushing carts whenever it's raining I guess I am weird cuz I worked at Target as a cashier and half
00:18:14| my job was doing that but I was overtaking most of the time by someone who had an IQ issue and okay they would always like take that job from me and I liked it I like pushing
00:18:27| carts because you got out of the store and you don't have to stand in one smooth rap dude was kind of just breathe the air and he kind of Frazee people people are tape people well and this the
00:18:39| grocery store I'm at right now Weis they employ a lot of people with a lower IQ and I don't know if it's a write-off thing or a disability thing or a coincidence I see people who work unless
00:18:51| is done a knock against cashiers and grocery store people but no I don't care yeah a lot of the people I see that I think or like smart knowledgeable like it's a very short time frame until they
00:19:04| leave the people I think are like with it like they never I've never seen anyone stay the entire time except super old people who are like okay stuck there just there well I don't
00:19:15| see there's a there's a weird thing about I don't think it's necessarily stuck or just it's worth it to them leggo the clock in there like they live two
00:19:22| minutes away it's a paycheck they don't have to really work very hard at it it's like pretty easy like it's a convenience thing good baby thing
00:19:36| if you think of the butcher's how much do you think the butcher do you think butchers make a decent Bank yeah Sean was telling me that they're um they're is nice guy like someone else might
00:19:52| nothing that's actually a decent my somebody is wrong well no this is a Hemings place it's the the it is yeah absolutely so the normal ones make 30k a year yeah
00:20:10| very nice suffering great see you're also doing the United States I think grocery stores are different by locale like I would actually put Philadelphia grocery stores above like like one in
00:20:26| like some podunk city in Idaho what do you know what I mean I don't know almost a requirement to have them but like once you get too close to Center City I don't feel like grocery stores really exist no
00:20:36| they don't they don't get better or exist because they need the space yeah obviously by by process needs a lot of land room and then because it's all spread out on one lower floor we can see
00:20:50| it are you gonna make the first-tier grocery store like a Rocko's I feel like rocko's modern like your only protocol shelves were like yeah do you think I and you would press a button and it
00:21:03| would move the shelves up or down in accordance with what you were looking for didn't really talk about margin like the grocery stores have like the slimmest margins for yeah they're very
00:21:12| slim and it depends on the item though like the sodas at the checkout nope nope nope nope but they're all that they call a lost leader bread butter milk those kind of things that you usually go to a
00:21:26| grocer you'll get them cheaper there than ever in fact they sometimes will sell it at call if not below to get someone in the doors because once you're in the door Michael
00:21:35| grab creamer oh shoot I forgot we're out of cereal oh no these ribs are on sale or something we need paper plates oh my God we're at traffic just looking at the margins precisely between one and three
00:21:49| percent that's wildly low that's insane just a few cents per item they make that's wild that crazy especially considering how much waste they usually go through
00:22:01| because you work it's like it do waste a lot too and it's for like Kroger which probably buys like a massive amount of items and ships them everywhere so most of these are like tied into like
00:22:14| trucking companies because they're gonna do truck all the stuff I'll ever II wear and it's that's the other thing it's like a timely thing this stuff expires mm-hmm
00:22:23| these goods will either go bad like we used to deal with Cisco trucking company that does a lot of supermarkets and um and like bar restaurant supplies like we used to do with my old jobs and Cisco
00:22:37| would pull over it's a refrigerator truck they take their stuff out to get to my stuff which is just too old favorite paper house I don't care it's on a refrigerated truck but they would
00:22:46| take out cases of lettuce cases of like kale like weird [ __ ] like um some fruits some veggies some cucumbers and crap and they would just throw it on the side of the road and then take off my stuff
00:23:01| and then throw it back on and in doing so hundred percent of the time a it was getting warm be stuff would be touching the ground or the sidewalk or the side of the truck or like all over or like
00:23:12| just be sitting on the side of the road but this is just no one tells the end user that that's happening to their food it's probably happening everywhere yeah that's why you wash your food check your
00:23:21| first place I mean and they have to do that because of you man if they're like ah this lettuce isn't perfect send it back you just bought 50,000 lettuce no one
00:23:30| gives a [ __ ] about this one no he's checking them no they're just freaking real it all in all those under grenade low IQ workers back there good lord I thought they were
00:23:44| paid it doesn't mean they're low IQ goodness gracious and IQs temporary it fluctuates don't worry about it I'm not the so there's there's a piece there like you kind of expect your food to be
00:24:01| cleanliness and I saw this one story about like Chinese gutter oil you know go to oil is literally like they scoop this oil out from like the drain and then cook it up and then separate the
00:24:17| pieces so that they get like the actual oil out of whatever it is and then they like stir-fry with it so it's literally garbage gutter gutter trash mmm-hmm a little bit of grease but
00:24:30| people don't know and some people eat it and some people survive in it so like what our level of cleanliness is nuts here's an insane thought what if what if it doesn't have a negative effect on
00:24:41| your health what if it makes you stronger well I wasn't gonna say that but like yeah I mean what if more resistant positive effects too in soccer on your glass or whatever maybe that'd
00:24:56| be weird and those people are the ones that survive the apocalypse because of the gamer oil ah well anything's possible hmm so we're talking about evolution a little bit do
00:25:05| you know um the grocery store has evoluted involved the fastest-growing thing right now because they all used to have a format where it'll be like place the billboard here on the right and then
00:25:17| place this item here next to bill always has to go near poultry or you know enemy these two have layouts now it's become a little more niche there's actually a rise in variety I believe in a lot of
00:25:32| the items and a big big big uptick in the past three to ten years in organic mmm this is freaking put the word organic on something it's like growing in a twenty two percent rate over the
00:25:42| past few years and the article I read and I was like that's kind of cool yeah like it's good another one is um they don't say low calorie or low fat because when we were
00:25:53| growing up I think that was there's a rage no trans fat yeah yeah just calories low calories and low-fat sugar-free the best thing as you're getting loaded night well they didn't
00:26:06| say that yeah that's what it was get your sh get your [ __ ] here I'll shovel it in your mouth yeah but now it's organics natural um natural I got controlled word I know it
00:26:21| is until words ah oh you got some of them I don't have it at the moment but okay you've come across these so there's like word keywords that like flash that's kind of what supermarkets are
00:26:33| really the beginning of I think they came out before TV commercials were mainstream this is like we're TV commercials started like it was like they had
00:26:43| keywords on products that would sell they had keywords in the aisles they had keywords on boxes that's where you made your money that's where you sold or didn't sell your packaging word of mouth
00:26:58| all that stuff kind of began with supermarkets it was like the first internet first commercial the first I picked her like a 1960s housewife like perfectly dressed with those outfits
00:27:11| they wore and smiling and taking a turkey out of the oven you know after a long day did you come across any of those words they have a gigantic document and the first thing I scroll to
00:27:21| was juice juice means the aqueous liquid expressed or extracted from one or more fruits or vegetables purees of the edible portions of one or more fruits or vegetables or any concentrates of such
00:27:31| liquids or pure ice so juice doesn't mean anything it expressly means that the aqueous liquid they expressed from but they have Control board's you can use natural like natural peanut butter
00:27:44| it doesn't mean anything like it's supposed to mean then it's better for you they're implying it right but oh so you saying you can use the word natural no matter what yeah what's it like over
00:27:55| the homonyms like new low prices like when they spelt like ello or like high-performance H I - performance it's like I went up that's classified it's like something that really actually has
00:28:08| to perform highly well vs. Laura could also be well it could also be in one one category which might have to be related to food at all like it burns the fastest can you
00:28:22| imagine - in the answers in the back burns quicker than most of the leading competitors it's like this is - turkey I don't know high performance no my costly grocery
00:28:40| store is it's a Randall's and it has linked to [ __ ] quality it's just expensive it's very weird it feels like me but no it's not even that great it's just like it has an attitude when you go
00:28:54| in there and it's a little bit snobby for no reason at all sanity I think that Randall's Wow you heard it here first folks do you know there's still like one of
00:29:07| the few places everyone goes like everyone in your neighborhood goes so you'll run into everyone I mean neighborhood wise if I knew anybody yeah there you go
00:29:17| won't pure popular yeah if they were like running into an ex at a grocery store I met my wife at a grocery store you met her in college first time I actually dated her it was because I saw
00:29:29| her at a grocery store she was in the meat aisle I said hey what are you looking at over there wait did she recognize it yeah she knew me immediately oh okay from your meat
00:29:42| selection or the way you pointed it to me check under the waiter link click click click click the the funniest is the interactions I have with people who I sorta know oh my god oh my god what's
00:29:56| up and I my brain just knows I know them so I'm making a bigger deal they don't know to find another name you just like have a big bro I don't know their name at all and I'm like this oh my god it's
00:30:07| probably someone so his best friend and then like as I'm trying to figure it out they're trying to figure me out they're like oh my god dude I just come here I'm like getting my food and then I say
00:30:15| things like I'm just check it out the next aisle and they're like it's awesome then the one time I knew it was like Kayla doesn't like the spinach that comes from this I have to get frozen
00:30:26| spinach or she won't eat it put the other one Sara she doesn't do this and I'm like they're crazy and I didn't know if that was his kids or not I was I'm pretty sure this isn't white
00:30:36| it doesn't matter anyway I was like ah and then I remembered who he was I was like oh I met you once like you were at a neighborhood party so you're somewhere near my neighborhood which is why you're
00:30:49| at my neighborhood grocery store I don't need to be nice to you or anything I was like ah all right man well I'll catch you later dude and like he was like I see yeah I think he was like figuring
00:30:59| out to it I was just like it was cool I thought it was like you went to like some really weird festival it was like a lettuce festival and like he was being very descriptive of the lettuce because
00:31:10| you had met there he's like let us let us be friends and I was like excuse me and he's like our online forum let us be friends I was like no it's like are you here for the arugula and you're both
00:31:26| like standing right mmm it's fresh it just came in this day so you want smells aromatic and bouquet is surely the other end of it it's the coolest thing that's ever happened to me this happened last
00:31:37| week my landlord they tossed your cucumbers do you mean salad oh okay mm-hmm okay you said it my landlord and I don't get along she's like super friendly with
00:31:56| everyone else in the house except me I always get her dumb kids names she's your mum four kids and one of them stone I just forget their names cuz they're like Italian teenagers like Gianna be on
00:32:11| about Hana and I'm like okay whatever I don't care and I'm like I pay you way too much in rent I don't like you and I don't hate her either but I hate putting on the air of talking with her and ask
00:32:20| her how she's doing I don't even do it and she doesn't do it with me it's cool I saw her in the supermarket and I was like she's gonna make a thing of it I'm with my son she's with that daughter I
00:32:28| forgot which one and anyway I totally locked eyes with her and looked her daughter and then kind of kept going like 10 feet away and she didn't say anything and I kept going and kept going
00:32:41| and her daughter said something like I think it was my son's name and no one said anything and I kept going and I was like oh my god holy nurse I mean she pretended not to see me and I pretended
00:32:54| not to see her because we were good we're just grocery shopping we'd have time for this [ __ ] and it was beautiful umm I was I was proud of her thank you whatever your name is
00:33:03| that's the weirdest part about knowing somebody that you don't want to know how do you successfully ignore them without interacting with them even though they're super close to you holy I should
00:33:14| I should have been like oh my god that's great to see you I'm grocery shopping she says oh that's so funny um grocery shopping and then you both say something about the weather or something about the

00:36:28| yeah yeah like weird the UM the other thing that once slumped down the other thing to keep in mind is uh I think I read that there were like white clumps that have to do with the grocery stores
00:36:43| oh yeah do you know there's different crowds at these grocery stores if you go at 11:00 p.m. that one that stays open till midnight on the weekends you will find a
00:36:55| whole different crowd than you will Monday new you know what I mean there are people that shop the same time the same day every week and it's a weird crew
00:37:05| sometimes you see people you run it you see them every week you're like ah Jesus it's us again on Monday shopper on Monday shopper that's great and you almost recognize them you know
00:37:16| what they do you form like secret friendships with them you're like we always get the same thing or like secret like enemy ships with them enemy ships I knew you were gonna question it as I
00:37:32| said it but that's fine and I'm like ah that son of a [ __ ] is gonna get the minute made rice a good oh geez magnet lockers the people that just sit there I had one woman that just that literally
00:37:44| she had she was disabled so she had one of those electric wheelchairs but she Saturday 30 minutes I don't know what she was doing I had to go I walked up to the other I'm at the store to get my
00:37:55| mother produce and I walk back and she was still later well that is a very long time that's a problem so wait do you shop the same way every time you go up and down the aisles like a regular know
00:38:07| not every aisle I usually have about three things I need to really get and then everything else is just kind of what I feel just wait but I do willing to plot out the order
00:38:17| of things like with the most of the fishing route like if I need to get me this and that's in order how is that different like do you would never go out of order from the aisles I mean if
00:38:28| you're skipping certain aisles you know not to go through them okay you can skip an aisle or two that's not called planning the most genius real skip an aisle or two you have to cook through
00:38:36| the ones that you need it's efficient you must save you time Nick oh he's doing I'm you're ruining your life no I'll skip one or two aisles but I only have 12 aisles in the whole store so I
00:38:50| just skip to and go up and down them in order because that's the most random liquor I feel like you just like oh look at all this - grass net I'm always trying to any idea of genes in something
00:39:05| and then I think for a minute because I don't really cook a lot and I'm like I don't know what goes with lima beans I could ever what buy beans are have a child that thanks so loudly
00:39:21| yes longer it's gonna be a problem like bird's wings I think it's it can hear your voice what if we did an experiment where you were quiet for eighteen seconds starting
00:39:41| now so I was in the grocery miss based on recent don't so I was in the grocery store and today I I go to Jim and my job and I bring a change of clothes and I put him on whatever forgot underwear so
00:39:59| the rest of my day I went L commando and then I went right to the grocery store after working and I was like it's just one of those days we're gonna pick up at stake I pick up this you go do this and
00:40:08| I realize I'm just wearing jeans t-shirt no undies you know sexual so as I was walking around I was a couple of the moms you know that some of the 5-second male and I was really tempted to grab
00:40:32| stuff off the top shelf just to kind of show off a little bit of belly a little bit of the big reach oh let me get that plus he matches that maybe maybe bend over and grips on the bottom here but I
00:40:54| honestly felt a little a little risque hang a little I don't know like I always I was the belle of the ball at the supermarket tonight now my competition was literally hello was there 30 other
00:41:06| people in the store with me at the time maybe 40 I don't know it's hard to gauge by the sound of a battering ram against your door people work we're in the supermarket at the time but I felt like
00:41:20| I was the prettiest on the ball who's the prettiest yeah like I was the most desirable persons from market for the first time in my life it felt really great I like
00:41:30| it when you're you and somebody else are the two prettiest and you keep switching like crossing lanes oh I'll yeah they're going up you're going down there go up you're going down they're gonna hope
00:41:41| you're going down meet eyes every time you're like huh what are the chances you again one aisle later but what are the chances you again what an aisle later is this mad it's just happening every time
00:41:53| the pineapple I'll look at each other I hope happens to me when I'm much older have you ever used a grocery store or better huh yeah why would you with the war pretty kid number two yeah you drop
00:42:20| it so you drop in twos and the supermarket mmm not usually if it's far if I'm far away okay that make sense uh-huh so let me talk about like what supermarkets really mean to me because
00:42:38| we when I was younger I always used to go to the grocery store supermarket with my mom so like whenever I go to a grocery store supermarket the music is always like from that era it was like
00:42:50| we're WI inherently yeah reminds me of like those times I want my mom it makes me happy every time I don't I don't know [Applause] yeah I forgot where I was going
00:43:18| it's down to a planar source exactly there's a good feel that happens and it's never I've never entered grocery store and been like I feel terrible here like the possibilities because of what I
00:43:29| mentioned a little bit meaning it's like you're home it's like a regional thing it's your neighborhood grocery store it's always kind of the same and you notice when they change things like oh
00:43:38| my god did you see what they did and someone's like yeah they move the pistachios and put up a sign and everyone's making a big deal of it it's really not a big deal but it's like your
00:43:46| slice of I don't know nothing yeah so it's good for place yeah it kind of is I can totally see some women go in there and clean it up finding sexual mates in there oh I do you think that's
00:44:01| impossible no I think the only place you're forced to go yeah it's weird I like it so what do you think about the future of grocery stores I think they're gonna lose out the same way all the
00:44:17| other things are gonna lose out to like the Amazon online ordering okay like the livings up or the instacart River it is that they put the groceries in your car they have those carts they wheel around
00:44:28| and block everything and we did um super fresh actually ironically enough offers a service thing it's called pretty quad something like that quad it's just a nickname for a sub service they offer
00:44:39| where they will deliver groceries to the elderly so being elderly and then you know they start but they don't care if you're really other lis or not but we um we do
00:44:52| it once a year on our trip before we go down the shore we have to deliver all our produce that we're gonna need for the week to the house and we do it on the day that we're leaving or in a
00:45:02| rezoning so we're 10 a.m. yeah we get it put it all in the car and it's all fairly fresh and they deliver it we don't go to the grocery store and I'm always like why don't we do this all the
00:45:11| time she's like they charge extra I'm like oh yeah would you so I don't know if I like people picking out my like fruits and vegetables and then delivering it to me
00:45:24| hurry right because you don't get to squeeze them tomatoes it's like you even know how to tell if a fruits ripe or not I just do what everyone else is doing it's like inherently know there's
00:45:36| something you know the texture brown spots or black marks on a fruit it's like that's a no-go but like an avocado I think it's supposed to be about turned soft it's about to like it's not soft
00:45:51| yet it's a bat you know something's about to be soft you can feel it it's not as hard as all the others it's like slightly less hardened it's firm yes it's a firm knock on your door yeah I do
00:46:05| the UH you just reminded me of one other thing I don't know how that everyone tests their food do you check all your dates mmm I was a date nothing yeah
00:46:17| yogurt and milk yeah no guy always late because they always cheat you salads they put the crappy buy from uh-huh listen Stu scan it don't let me know that non-discounted
00:46:29| milk it you know terrible terrible deed to me I place does it with me like zones York Strip or something like that but selling it like cheap the day of the expiration date or whatever and I guess
00:46:41| oh yeah I'll buy a just bought some steaks tonight it's a New York Strip baby cost me like 14 bucks for three pieces that I made roll them off yeah yeah buddy I know what's up if you're
00:46:56| gonna if you're gonna cook it that night what's the difference boom make sense to me yeah there's it's strange because it's like usually I bring it up and it's like
00:47:08| card a little membership thing and that money disappears ten bucks crazy how much we spend on groceries and at the grocery store and they are winning in some spots like their plates
00:47:24| of towels their toilet paper that kind of stuff that you get there they're killing it but who cares what do you think my own any check outs cuz that that was in our lifetime right you have
00:47:36| a story about this I believe doing one of the funnier ones yeah I thought you were the one who was like waiting to hit yet all her groceries and you were waiting and so I was like oh and then
00:47:48| you sold Clark and you really finally someone's gonna help me any-any and he brought you if you brought you to an automated one where you had to do your own because I was
00:48:02| waiting in the line with the cashier and I was loaded up it and he was like oh oh here start kind over here and he led me right to one where I can do it myself when I was like but not the same that is
00:48:20| totally the future of a grocery chain sadly but sometimes I hate to do it if I'm getting like 40 40 items we're forgetting like 6 things like it's a no-brainer for me mm-hmm
00:48:33| the other thing is the grocer's at the one I go to now which is like like yours like middle of the road middle prices middle items whatever the employees who check you out are paid by the hour as in
00:48:48| I've never seen slower pricing ringing up bagging and scanning I almost want to reach over they're gonna be like you think they generally had a bonus based on how quickly to a degree I think if
00:49:05| they're doubling someone else absolutely you should be paid more yeah if it's 10% more I don't care but a hundred percent more yeah cuz some of them will get it really huh and they don't even don't
00:49:16| even talk to me they're just like and then they're looking like which one do I grab next ironically that's an art you know yeah grabbing - gaining a dyke and then
00:49:30| typing in the number and then the land control yeah oh yeah no me never get another bag Oh actually you say that keep it separate never never the same oh it's not covered in meat juices well
00:49:50| do you think it is before it makes it to where you just dealt with it Cardon juice yeah nasty particles bacteria oh I you better not find out where your food
00:50:02| comes from so I'm gonna tell you ya know there's an art to I think some places actually have contests it's called a bagging contest where they'll scan it as quick as I can like young hotshots like
00:50:18| doesn't see how many bags they can do in any time it's like 24 28 seconds and they have contests and lady that's a real thing why how I'm not sure but I respect it and there are definitely good
00:50:30| baggers and bad baggers right coupons if you use coupons no I don't that's horrible do you use coupons no here are several coupon coupons I found you probably
00:50:50| pronounced it with the U and it key you get your coupons thank you it's free coupons this guy but I know that was one of the shows I figure it was called like the coupon clipper people that like they
00:51:07| stack somebody coupons that like it costs almost nothing I like that they like and a mathematical element and then the hoarding I love hoarding stuff I wish that I could do that but I'm far
00:51:20| too lazy to like look through different articles and likes circulars and tried one stuff app yeah just give me it and you're I didn't talk about my coupon app that's what I just brought it up I just
00:51:33| said you tried to design an act that would do is exactly yeah it would auto clip all the digital coupons and put it on your account and it kind of worked but it was only for
00:51:42| like four bucks a week and it didn't seem to work for me because I don't know if it was because I was in a different locale or something didn't work with mine I don't think everyday maybe I did
00:51:52| yours but like I think you did wide Wiese didn't have that many district coupons oh it's a no digit also wasn't worth it yeah I tried this with multiple people and like the most successful one
00:52:03| was a chibi because like they have a ton of digital I like a thousands and like it would give you some money back but not enough but it was not worth not even cheating the system was I like wow I
00:52:16| feel like I'm winning like no I was like this is worthless like do you like Reseda different really yeah I'm done I wish that could have been my thing pretty sure someone else who tried and
00:52:28| failed and realize the same thing I did or coupons Cubans each cube this when when do you grocery shop is it the same every week yeah usually I kind of I'm them usually the one who goes the
00:52:41| grocery store and like does the main shopping and it's usually like me yeah what probably like middle of the day when the kids are sleeping either Saturday or Sunday like from like 100k
00:52:54| that makes sense yeah and then your weekend yeah or if it's like the meets like I like to go pick up the meat like that day did you get the special you did the meats for the week mmm no not
00:53:06| usually like I'll get like one day like chicken I usually like the steaks I get the day of okay but I have to bank on it being there and then I feel like flip the coin and what I actually do pick up
00:53:17| weeks that's squared like do you know what I remember as a kid I thought you maybe did what if you really yeah yeah the memories one of the things I did as a kid is I would stare at that white
00:53:36| tile floor and it was open air plan like the shelves only go so high and then everything else is open and there are lights above everything so it looks very white clean very light everywhere and I
00:53:50| would stare at the floor and chase the lights reflecting off of the tile yeah so they would reflect off the tile and you could catch up to them eventually hmm like be walking along in
00:54:03| it wouldn't it wouldn't be as quick as your feet move because it's how far it is it's a distance versus your eye level thing but like you could take like ten steps and it would slowly inch the the
00:54:13| light closer and I would step on the light it's crazy I think it was looking like warlocks in those basement yeah uh-huh what about a man anyway just I
00:54:26| remember that's one of my first memories maybe as a person chasing patterns moving having fun laughs and giggling chasing a shopping cart and I mean I was just shopping tonight in my jeans no
00:54:40| underwear showing off to any of the moms in the area but I still saw the light reflecting off the ground and at one point I took like three steps towards it and totally stepped on it like gotcha
00:54:50| this is like a throwback I don't know if I can still do it as I'm grabbing radishes and stuff do you write I full-sized one of those racecar carts you know they do it mine and my son used
00:55:05| to have to be in it yeah he got really upset when we wouldn't talk about yeah two years ago I haven't had to drive that stupid monstrosity around the supermarket so oh
00:55:17| yeah well it's like two-tiered is you're just like two-tiered in the bottom it sticks out or is it the one that has it on the front front front okay I kind of like those because it distracts them and
00:55:28| they like you not to deal with them and right there playing with the wheel whatever I via free banana your story is what that was a pre-bid oh yeah well you have a kid you get a free banana oh
00:55:39| that's [ __ ] no because I just stolen it knowing those two did yeah go after you you ever stole anything from a grocery store I stole I still think about the one that
00:55:55| sold no I don't think I ever stole anything there's like rosemary or thyme or some [ __ ] and I just needed a sprig I totally put in my pocket and as I was checking
00:56:09| out with five other items and I was like my voice was squeaking I was sweating there were like anything else I was like I don't have anything else take it take it take it I'm so sorry
00:56:28| can't can't take a good deal with him anymore yeah I like stole that probably it was like 80 cents to a dollar 30 it could have been margarine what's that Marjorie Lin no the flower nerd marjoram
00:56:46| yeah you know yeah no I'm like and one's ever said before out loud neither and I that's why I'm bringing it up here so we covered a lot with supermarkets I mean we did I bet you didn't think we'd get
00:57:01| this psychological this emotional is nostalgic there's one piece of information then oh please do what do you got how do you want to end it up so I
00:57:09| figured well I'm on the Russian President came here to NASA like way back when when it was a communist state it still is but when it was like hardcore hobby
00:57:20| mister mmm and like the comparison between the variety of what we have versus if you ever seen a Russian grocery store where they do one of everything
00:57:30| one-nil quanta Hado unbelief and they only have like 12 products and they just like are like hacking up like dead animals so they get like serve them it's like a stark contrast of the reality
00:57:44| versus what we exist in and like when we pick up something that's like not organic can we go oh that's gross no that tastes bad like someone else in some part of the world is like pilfering
00:57:55| garbage away or like I don't get to choose yeah supermarkets are kind of like the peak of capitalism it is really the best it's capitalism at its highest point I think it peaked with
00:58:08| supermarkets it's them yeah it involves all of your senses yeah it's wild I'm gonna miss them when they're gone when everything gets delivered in tiny packages covered
00:58:27| enough to cover in plastic I already need or whatever I don't know inserted right where you want it I'm gonna be wearing no underwear my jeans and just at home hoping mom comes and delivers it
00:58:41| or that delivery guy maybe he'll notice I don't know somebody noticed somebody say that say that's that's nice to get some arugula in here I could use some marjoram so we talked about a lot we
00:58:55| talked about the rise of the supermarket it might be on the decline as we speak I'm trying to keep up I don't think so buddy yeah I don't know moles I thought would
00:59:08| last forever they're kind of anyway hold another episode yeah might be a good episode it would be so supermarkets folks don't take them for granted they got lots of
00:59:20| crazy wild stuff going on all the workers in there that you kind of know but don't really know all the little Affairs that might be flinging around in there god damn it put a pineapple
00:59:30| upside-down just see what happens one day we did that nothing happened but it's a small hello give it another shot ripple effect it's coming back at you it could be buy some new foods do some
00:59:43| weird [ __ ] try and steal some marjoram don't legally don't in the meantime and in the comments below your favorite part of grocery stores any memories any anything
