Grocery Store Observation

submitted by dingbat to ClownWorld 3.2 yearsApr 5, 2022 18:00:47 ago (+40/-1)     (ClownWorld)

So, every time I go to the grocery store (or today, I went to Walgreens), I notice a lack of products on the shelf. I’m going to guesstimate that the goods are down about 25% across the board. It isn’t exclusive to any particular product; it’s across the board. I guess it’s more about the product I notice that is ALWAYS STOCKED, at 100%….Booze. Fuck these kikes and their manufactured goods crisis. They certainly get the booze on the shelves, hoping to claim another addict, make room for another new degenerate, or to easily help us forget about how fucked this world is, right? This shit is all fake and gay.

One day I just realized that billionaires were parasitizing me througth alcohol and that I was spending 20 or 30 bucks a week to make myself unhealthy with the shit. It was just an a-ha moment. I quit drinking that day.

Yes, that’s excellent. I had that exact moment when the fake pandemic started. A clear mind is a good thing.

Yeah, i followed a story about a guy, that pretty much on his own that began selling cut price spirits and liquor here in the country where i am, and the ongoing efforts the big established industry breweries took to force him out or buy him out etc - anyways he persevered became a multi-millionaire while establishing his company here and in australia then died in his helicopter - due to mechanical malfunction - tbh - i couldn't say it was anything else it happened after about 20-25 years or so after he first started but meh who knows for real.

That’s a tragic story!

A million times yes to your last sentence.

After seeing someone drink himself to death last year I absolutely detest it. I saw a muscular alpha male turn into bones— Not to mention the amount of people he fucked over in the process. He left a trail of lies and broken hearts of his loved ones.

[ - ] dassar 4 points 3.2 yearsApr 5, 2022 23:41:50 ago (+4/-0)

Ah, oh yes. I recall. Sorry.

Anyways, I concur,'People fcked over in the process'. My erm 'Father' was at best what could only be described as an angry violent drunk, who was fairly well paid at the time after working 10-12 hrs a day gambled and drank all his money away, while his poor abused wife (my mother) had to take three part time jobs to feed and clothe 4 young children throughout our entire pre-adult life.
Best part was - watching him be the life of the party, give money away to complete strangers, act as if he was the greatest father in the world to people we knew would never ever see again - then switch at a dime as soon as the last person left.
But i digress - he's dead i'm not and my kids love me as i love them.
Alcohol is poison.

Wow. I’m so sorry. No kid deserves to see or go through torment like that. The terrible things us kids had to witness because of a parent’s issues….I wouldn’t wish that upon my worst enemy. I dealt with a drunken idiot mom who still doesn’t have her shit together, quite frankly. She still embarrasses me and she makes me
cringe.

Is your mom still alive? What an amazing woman! She did what she did because she loved her kids so much.

And you’re a good man, because you were cognizant of your experiences in your youth and decided to break that cycle with your own kids.

My son saw me drink a beer for the first time when he was 9. He was like, “Mom….YOU’RE drinking a beer?” It felt good, because I knew I was giving my son better than I had. Some people think that giving your kids more than you had means monetary items…not at all.

This guy that died jpilled me, but he also treated me like TOTAL shit and put me in precarious circumstances more times than I care to admit. He drank himself to death and left a list of people to call when his body was found. I was on it. It was his last “fuck you,” as he tried to reach out for help three weeks before he died and I shut him down. Turns out he was doing the same thing to two other women as well, who also shut him down because of what a mess he was. He made up dude names for all of us and talked about us TO EACH OTHER. Evidently, my name was, “Connor.”
Again, fuck alcohol.

For most (white) people though it's not an illness. They just drink moderately and don't blow their household budget on it. Heck, you don't even have to give them any money if you make your own.

I would never have taken you for a liquor person. If anything, I would've thought pillhead.

Take no offense to that. It's me being romantic.

Seriously though, you're at the bar. You're approached. On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being highest) how would you rate the likelihood that the following pickup line is effective:

Addictive substances trick your brain in to thinking you need them and enjoy them. Its just the stress of withdrawal thats relieved when you enjoy it.

I don’t have great will power and I really enjoyed smoking too. But I highly recommend quitting. I did about 15 years ago and Im so glad I did. I went back a couple of times, it took me a few years to completely give it up. I missed it for a little while and then something just happens to your brain and you can’t remember why you enjoyed it. Your brain gets rewired. It takes a couple of years. It feels great not to smoke. The breathlessness, the cough, the breath, the dirty ashes, the expense—glad to be rid of it.

Wouldn’t you agree that God made all kinds of things that kill you? Don’t you think you were made with a brain that’s perfectly healthy and functional without addictive substances? Your brain doesn’t need anything else, its good the way it is. If you were better with nicotine and THC in your brain, it would be there naturally.

That sucks. Whenever I look at the meat section, I think to myself, “Wow, they really don’t want us eating red meat” (waaaaay more expensive than usual) and proceed to buy red meat.

I always get my beef from a local rancher. It's more expensive, but if I'm gonna pay more anyway I want to know where it is coming from.

[ - ] dassar 3 points 3.2 yearsApr 5, 2022 20:44:50 ago (+3/-0)

See if something local comes up on an internet search or Go visit your local farmers market and ask around. Even asking at a weekly craft fair that might be useful.
I'm fortunate that there is a local butchery (been family owned for decades) near by, that i never used bc of the prices so usually brought from supermarkets , however since holocough hit , i am happy to pay the extra (and tbh it's not that much more expensive than the supermarket) but the taste, look and over all quality is definitely noticeable.

Just because it's local doesn't mean the meat is also. I have two butcher shops within a mile of me and the meat they sell isn't locally produced. Yes, they will kill and process a local animal if somebody want's them to, but the meat they sell at retail is not from a local source.

Oh yeah fair call, i get what you're saying. as a matter of fact i was looking at the bacon brands in the super market last week - out of 10-12 different brands, across all the various different cuts and styles and curing etc - only one was made from 100% bacon from the country i live in, NZ. All the other brands listed on the label they may also contain bacon from - and had list of 5 European countries and the US , yet they all had NZ brands. So yeah good point.

So, They are quite proud of their sourcing from the same farm co-op, which is like about 2-3 hrs away or something and then they dress all the produce in a purpose built warehouse they had put up on the premises maybe 5-10 years ago bc of increased customer demand.

Think booze just doesn't move as fast as other supplies. The trend I see is something is out of stock for up to two weeks, then is usually around again for a month.

I could see "sUpPlY cHaIn" issues by not getting boxes / containers / other random necessities that a third party cannot make.

Still believe most of the shit were missing is sitting off the coast of California.

I see where you’re coming from and I hope you’re right. By me, the difference between the regular shelves and the booze shelves are very extreme—it’s almost comical. It’s almost like there’s a surplus of alcohol and everything else looks weak.

The only shortage I've seen was gatoraid, and it's no name alternatives. Was really bad last summer, but even now through the winter those shelves have usally been only half stocked.
Anything else the shelves are always fully stocked.
I'm in Northern Ontario Canada, if that makes a difference.

Curious, Is it the exact same oil?.
Not rebranded or 'parallel import' rubbish - we have a consumer act here that allows companies to rebrand their own products as a well known brand as long as it follows some shitty consumer safety manufacturing policy and they then pay a 'patent fee' or something for importing it for sale at a much lower price than the actual legit item.
Cosmetics, perfumes, clothing, washing powder, foods, automotive, oils etc etc all manner of big brand items that only need to have a small 'Parallel import' sticker on the price tag or shelf.
Mostly all from China and Asia.

No, fuck you. You deal with it. I don't give a fuck if you can't get food. All I know is if you don't have it on the shelf you won't get my money. I promise I'll find it somewhere else but you'll go out of business.

Don't these fucks know how to run a goddamn business? I don't care if you can't get supplies. I don't care if you can't get people to work. I don't care if your boss is an asshole. You don't give me what I want, you don't get paid.

Easy now. The people you interact with have zero control over the situation. You can't even treat them as company representatives, because even if they passed on your ire to their boss, he'd just snort and carry on.

You know it takes a long time to make alcohol, bottle it, sell it, transport it before you see it on the shelf, right?
