This is just the area I have to walk through to get to things that are actually edible.

Someone rescue that parsley, it's flatlining.

American supermarkets have entire aisles dedicated to burgers. it was one of the strangest things I noticed when I visited my cousin on holiday.

>>13312350

Which Hot Pockets are your favorite, Anon? I'm currently chowing down on some Philly cheese steak pockets.

The produce section is the only part of the grocery store where it's normal to have people in mobility scooters crash into you. The regular aisles have a more obvious flow to them, so people can figure out how to navigate them. The produce section is chaos.

YOU POST TOO SLOW

the BBQ beef are the best, but not always the easiest to find

>>13312345
Parsley adds nothing to any dish except some green. Leave that shit in the 70s where it belongs, on the side of an ugly oval plate with some cress and an orange slice.

>>13312318

I thought shart in the mart was just a meme...

What's all that green stuff?

>>13312423
They're plastic bags to put your produce in so the cashier doesn't rub their dick beaters all over your veg.

>>13312417
Yes, it's the world's most popular herb but everyone is just pretending to like it.

>>13312318
>carcinogenic pesticide/herbicide ridden flavorless produce style products shipped 3000 miles and held in warehouses for a month before hitting the shelves.
Mutts are proud of this, lol! I suppose when your tastebuds are fried from hfcs, it doesn't matter. The world laughs at, but at the same time, pities you.

>>13312446
I don't think people are pretending to like it, it's just not good. It's so easy to ignore and so inexpensive that people don't even know why they're eating it. It has nothing to do with like or dislike. The average person doesn't put enough thought or consideration into something like parsley in order to have an opinion on it.

I think curley parsley is kinda boring but flat-leaf has a very nice, fresh flavor. You might like that kind better. If you have a dish with cooked or otherwise heavy ingredients, then fresh, crisp parsley can add a nice contrast and some "brightness".

It's not as distinctive and powerful as other herbs but that just makes it more versatile.

>>13312318
doesn't look very supermarket to me, more like your smaller grocery

Probably shitty internet. Most American supermarkets are built like bomb shelters and it's hard to get a signal there.

>>13312570
Actually OP seems to be making good time. American grocery stores are massive complexes that span miles.

>>13312574
Typical long isle

>>13312570
Theory: OP made thread while at the store, took the rest of the pictures, presumably bought groceries etc, came home, and resumed posting.

>>13312570
>spends less than 37m in the produce section

>>13312588
The bread isle. Maybe a hundred different kinds?

>>13312588
Is that massive aisle devoted solely to chips?

>>13312594
Salty crunchy snack isle

>>13312318
Wow i feel like I’ve seen this thread before

>>13312570
Kekd

I'm French and this looks pretty regular, maybe the hundred kinds of breads stand out. I still remember the whole aisle filled with cheese balls though.

>>13312598

A pic so you can see his the isles are labeled.
This is about 10% of the store maybe? There’s obviously a lot I didn’t photograph. And I got tired of being a weirdo taking pictures in a grocery store.

>>13312634
Where're the deenz?

>>13312595
Yes

Cool thread OP, wish I could identify some of the product names. Cant get over how huge that supermarket seems compared to even Australian supermarkets (lived in Asia most my life).

>>13312894
It's several times bigger than the tiny Aldi I shop at here in the UK. Nice thread, though, OP. Thanks for sharing. It's like a weird guided tour.

>>13312588
Why are they storing stock on top of those aisles? Nobody'll be able to reach it up there without bringing in a forklift and that's not good to mix with customers.

>>13312969
>It's several times bigger than the tiny Aldi I shop at here in the UK.
It's like a small version of my local Morrisons (also UK).

Why is it like totally empty?

>>13312594
>hundred different kinds
Of what? Kinds of sponge? That shit aint bread mate.

It looks just like many other Europeans stores.

Do you even gobalisation?

>>13312350
What? Was it during the 4th of July or something? Ground beef and preformed patties are with the meat, buns are in the bread area, condiments are in an aisle with other condiments and oil and vinegar and stuff. There is no burger isle.

I love grocery stores, particularly when they're empty. They bring me some feeling of comfort.
Maybe it just brings up some nostalgia from the time I worked in grocery stores late at night as a teenager.

Wegmans > all

>>13312454
>>13312508
Try flat leaf if you haven't like the other anon said. I love parsley and always have some in my fridge. Parsley leaves and stems (for broth) are used in a lot of dishes and make them taste better than without it.

Huh?

I just realized I spelled the word aisle wrong throughout the entire thread. Oh well. Anyway pic related is one of the things I bought. I’ll be eating it tomorrow.

>>13313141
Shop Rite and thx

European here, how is everything so cheap? Those steaks would cost double here wtf.

>>13313005
It was fairly busy. I just waited for people to leave an areA before taking a pic like an autismo.

>>13313184
The meat is even cheaper at my usual, closer store.

>>13313141
it's shop rite, can see it if you zoom in on the labels. mid-shitty-tier normal standard-american grocery store. this one i would say was remodeled in the past 5 years as you can see from its mommyblogger-font decor and basic selection of "fancy" (but still <$10) cheeses.

see how the produce section looks disheveled and neglected compared to the snack foods/easy meals isles? no one buys produce at these places, so they don't assign much or any staff to keep it nice. the produce sections at this type of grocery store are like the parsley on the american steak dinner.

the customers of shoprite type grocery stores have just about the worst taste, especially in the ny/nj area where there are plenty of options. they have enough money that they don't shop at aldi/other cheap-cheap grocery, but they don't have enough class or taste to care about meat & produce quality.

it's not even cheap. i pay $3 at whole foods for kerrygold dubliner cheese that's 4.69 (i think, blurry pic) on that cheese shelf.

because the produce etc at these places is so bad they end up buying mostly frozen food and spending more than they would on high quality fresh ingredients for home cooking. and these are not poor people so they don't really have an excuse to eat that way. they are adults who eat like children, which is why this supermarket looks like a great big candy shop. aisles and aisles of soda, snacks, ramen bowls, canned soup. just rip it open and enjoy.

Basically every single grocery store in my country has a bakery inside it. I was surprised when I visited but most american grocery stores don't.

>>13312604
I don't know if that ones real. As a murican, never seen anything like it. However, don't think that bread aisle fool you. It's not all different kinds. Most of it is different brands of the same mass produced garbage with different prices, in a couple different shapes for whether you want it for sandwiches, burgers, or sausages. There's good bread here imo, but the bakery is a different smaller section for that and really it's better to go to a dedicated bakery.

American supermarkets scare me and this is coming from an american

>>13312595

Muricans are pretty tall on average and the ones that can't reach are quickly helped by a nearby gentleman. Unless they look like a cunt. Pouty faced just watched you bitch out the deli bitch fuck you buy a ladder because for some reason that's not rare to find in our grocery stores..

I was in Tennessee for a few years and Florida for a few months.
I forgot that every state is like a country on it's on with regards to how things work in the USA, so my experiences aren't really representative of the country.

>>13313274
Yeah I was curious myself if that was true. Like I said up here though >>13313204
It is better to go to a dedicated bakery
I do always find it weird to learn about my fellow stateside fags. Actually I didn't know Pennsylvania was pretty unique in their liquor laws. Apparently in other states alcohol in grocery stores is common (were getting there now) and you can even just head to the nearest corner stop for a case of beer. Didn't learn that till I was legal to drink.

>>13313293
Actually free insult for euros. I remember feeling excited when I went up NY side and bought my first case of beer from a gas station. Like that was traveling kek

>>13313274
In more rural and ultra-corporate shitty suburban places you might not find a bakery in every grocery store, but even Super Walmarts have a bakery even if it's not as good as higher quality grocery stores. But pretty much everywhere I've been has at least baguettes, rolls, and French or Italian bread loaves made in the store's bakery. Most have more than that. It seems to me after spending time in the deep south visiting in-laws that many people simply don't take advantage of cheap fresh bread from the bakery just how they bypass all the fresh produce and buy canned and frozen stuff even though it's not even a matter of being able to afford it. I was amazed on my last trip there when I went in to Kroger and they had a larger and more diverse grocery selection than I'm used to, but all of the food I've seen people make is abominable. There have to be people buying it for the stores to stock it, but apparently my in-laws and their social circle (friends, church, work, etc.) avoid anything good like the plague.

>>13312634
Do they have Indomie ramen?

How's Ingles? I'm moving somewhere with Ingles, Walmart, and some other kind of shitty grocery store that everyone said they avoid. It seemed nice, and I don't have much of a choice, so I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this store.

>>13313219
>Muricans are pretty tall on average
Mostly shorter than me. And wider.

>>13313197
You completely nailed it. I don't care what people do who I don't have to associate with, but I'm tired of my in-laws having such abominable taste and shopping just like you described. Won't be a problem any longer though, because I'm moving and will be the one hosting holidays and events when possible/most of the time. No more expired discount canned and boxed shit and bottom of the barrel everything like they're living in the fucking depression despite being perfectly financially able to buy edible food and discard it when it's gone bad.

>>13313214
At least make your own sauce from canned crushed tomatoes if tomatoes are out of season. There is no reason to buy canned sauce that tastes like shit and costs way more than canned tomatoes plus garlic, onion, and some spices.

>>13313184
The visible prices don't seem to be for USDA choice or prime, so it's likely very low quality meat that Europeans would balk at. Still nice to have affordable food though. The US probably has a much larger cattle industry than Europe with less tax and regulation plus subsidies. Just a guess.

>>13313425
Mostly shorter and wider than me too bud. 5 10 I think is the average. Since I'm not obese I just assume I'm skinnier than average. Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
You Scandinavian? I am. Found out I'd also be shortish there recently. I'm 6 foot. I know my family towers over me.
Btw another reason murica is great. Since we're all mutts, I get to have a nice 5' 1" French gf. Feels tight and gud nibba

>>13313243
That sounds like more of a liberal talking point to be, but regardless, that's what it does and fucks over small farms.

>>13313494
My bad everything is fucked with politics. It's right wing to me because everyone calls me right wing because I follow very Milton Friedman type beliefs. Libertarian.

>>13312594
>muh hundred kinds of bread
>everything is some retarded plastic wrapped toast bread tier

>>13313549
The smell of that stuff is revolting. People have no excuse buying it when a large French or Italian loaf is $1-$2 to the bakery inside the store that they shop at every 3 days anyway. I get it if you're in the middle of nowhere, but someone on here said that you can freeze and defrost bread just fine as long as you put in the fridge and not the counter. I haven't tried it since I just buy more bread when I run out or it goes stale and make croutons and bread crumbs from the stale bread, which is also much cheaper and without weird additives than the store bought stuff.

>>13312350
No I think you’re mistaking a few pallets or stands. I know everything in Europe is tiny but a few stand or racks with buns by the meat is not a burger section.

>>13312594
100 different kinds of fake american sugar bread. nice

This is a nice ShopRite, fellow Northeastern anon. The one by me looks exactly the same now as it did in the '90s.
Not necessarily a bad thing, it's kinda dumpy but it brings me comfy nostalgic feelings, like I've entered a time machine.
But yeah, it's nice.

>>13312588
Long aisle is loooooooong

>>13313873
>fake american sugar bread
what makes it fake?

>>13313979
The stuff they sell in sliced loaves in those aisles smell like feet, have lots of additives, and don't have the texture of bakery bread. It is bread, yes, but people who are used to freshly made bakery bread the way bread is supposed to be made cannot look at it as real bread. I grew up on the sliced loaves and continued buying it up until I started really learning how to cook and enjoy fresh, good food that amazingly tends to be cheaper than processed maybe unless you are food bank poor.

>>13314337
That's probably a photo done before the store hours before it's open, but they actually more or less look like that, especially when the department is well staffed. Most of the time it doesn't look quite as replenished, but that's generally what they looks like. I've never worked in Produce, so I have no idea how it's actually organized, but I can tell you where everything is in most of the US whole foods.

>>13314337
I think it's because American employees are paid to organize and not poor customers recognize this and don't mess things up when they shop out of courtesy.

>>13314371
This is incorrect. Team Members are 100% paid to keep things tidy and front/square/block stuff on the shelves regularly, but even WF shoppers in affluent areas are often garbage. It's probably nowhere near as bad as other retailers with lower income customer base (like Walmart), but people are fucking animals. It''s not uncommon for someone to put a paper wrapped item from the meat counter and just hide it in a shelf somewhere because they can't be fucked with either giving it back, running it to a refrigerated section or giving it to a Team Member. You'd be surprised.

Any other based Central Market bros here

>>13314337
I can go to any supermarket in America and get the same picture.

>>13314337
It was probably taken before the store was open for the day or even right before a grand opening, but generally the produce sections are pretty well organized in super markets. I will say that the stacking looks a bit abnormal as people are animals while shopping and tend to knock shit all over the place and put things back wherever they want. The produce is never stacked neatly like that for the entire day and usually by the end of it all there will be a bunch of other random shit thrown in the bins by lazy faggots too incompetent to simply tell the cashier they decided they didn't want it when they get to the register so an employee can put it back where it belongs.

You nailed it. The government subsidies the corn, meat and dairy industries tremendously and they're all interconnected.
>>13313203
I've been all over the US and every full sized grocery store has a bakery section. Not all of them bake bread and make shit in house, but most do. I've even worked in a tiny one that made their own cakes and fresh bread.

>>13314337
All America markets with a nice produce section look like that, you poor communist bastard.

>>13313184
Why do you think americans are so fat? You guys have free education and healthcare, we spend half as much as you do on cars, homes, and food. Don't believe the idiots online who try to paint the US as a shithole. It's just different.

I'm a Kroger fag and I wish I worked at a Wegmans or HEB instead. I’ve never even been to Wegmans but in my past life as a Fidelity Investments fag we recordkept their 401k and I'd see all the shit about them being one of America's top (non) employers (union). Oh, fuck ucfw 1000.

>>13314337
Welcome to America bud. This is how your average grocery store in bumfuk nowhere looks like here. Stop believing all the propoganda you hear talking shit about us.

>>13314449
I honestly don't think Americans are fat because of affordable meat. It's mostly because of a shit diet comprised of sugars like high fructose corn syrup, breads, pastas, sodas shit like that. I mean look at what your average person in Missouri eats throughout the day and the week and compare it to your average person in Colorado. The meat's not the issue here. It's all the other literal garbage.
>>13314459
This. While not every grocery store will look that neat, it's not that far off. Especially with Whole Foods.

>>13314337
>Theres no way that isnt a staged pic
This is average.

>>13313203
>Basically every single grocery store in my country has a bakery inside it.
Same in the US.

Most Americans don’t shop at grocery stores because they have none in their little shit towns. They get food from Dollar Trees.

>>13312973

>>13314495
Most Americans have cars.

>>13314465
I think you can pretty much break it down to the sugar drink guzzling plus generally poor unvaried diets with outrageous portions. There are people who eat fast food all the time and stay thin, because they stick to a hamburger, small fries, and small coke or water. But there are assloads of people who straight up won't drink water and guzzle soda and sweet tea all day long while also shoving down large portions of biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, and Papa John's pizza while never having fresh produce and lots of sweets/desserts. It's sickening. If people just cut out drinking sugar and most dessert while incorporating a bit of variation with produce into their diets, they would not be nearly as fat. I don't know how to help people who eat outrageous amounts of food, but many people I know could drop down to a normal weight just by cutting out simple sugars.

>>13312588
Why the fuck is it so poorly lit?

>>13313106
I fucking hate the place. they split the aisles in two so you can't see the signs for the other end. I always end up walking around for 20 minutes trying to find something only to realize it was in 7b and I had walked past 7a 3 times wondering where it was..

>>13314522
I believe that most Americans get fat, because they don't adapt their eating habits as they age, or get less active.
Eating like a beast was fine when they where active in their favorite sport during highschool, and college, but not really wise after they've settled down into the working lifestyle.

>>13314536
It's so the women in their periods would feel comfortable while they shop in their sweatpants, and hooded sweatshirt at 3am.

>>13312659
all 3 of those people are fat

>>13314575
I'll try posting a few images from the higher quality markets in my town where all the women look like super models, or at least like decent strippers.

>>13314542
Yeah that's definitely a problem, but one that lots of people seem to be able to regulate aside from the sugar. I'm not a keto fag or anything, but usually as people age and/or become less active they start eating less intuitively even if they are in the overweight 25 BMI to 29.9 BMI range. But the outrageous obesity is another level of food issues. Personally, once I began buying only quality ingredients/foods I was able to control my eating tremendously. I've always been fit aside from a few periods of being on awful medications, but I've noticed that I don't even have to think about my diet now that I just eat good food of course with variation, lots of vegetables, and not drinking calories. But I still eat some small portions of sweets sometimes and potatoes, pasta, rice and stuff. When it's good and not from boxes and shit, you should be able to naturally regulate yourself. The food culture here has gotten out of control, but I never grew up like that. No one in my family is obese and very few are overweight.

Foreigners believe that markets in the US have to be just like theirs.

>>13314603
What blows my mind is that we have everything available here in most places aside from really remote places, but people continue to eat like absolute shit. What gives?

>>13314599
>but usually as people age and/or become less active they start eating less intuitively
I've noticed that most Americans can't let go of being that athlete, and think that they'll eventually find that time to work out. Most don't realize that they'll never get that alone time to excessive like they used to as they get deeper into American work culture.

>>13314609
I'm guessing it's convenience mostly.

>>13314621
I severely broke my leg a few years back despite having always been a runner, so any impact exercise has been off limits due to continuing pain. But I get plenty of activity from house chores, standing on my feet, cooking/kitchen activity, walking the dog, etc. But I agree with what you're saying. People refuse to adjust and still wear their high school jackets from 25 years ago in certain places.

>>13314603
I mean bodegas and small foreign markets really do look like that in the US.
>>13312973
They're called sky shelves. It's for backstock, not for customers. Employees replenish regular stock from there as well as back of the house.
>>13314495
Well that's not true. Most people in the US have access to a grocery store. Try again.
>>13314609
Correction. Some people continue to eat like absolute shit. There isn't a simple answer to this, it's a multitude of things.
>>13314621
I've noticed that too. It's fucking odd how many guys in their 30-40-50s with a giant gut reminisce about playing baseball or being a linebacker like in high school. Dog, that was forever ago, you need to hit the gym now. It's really odd.

>>13314644
Have you tried incorporating more swimming for a while?
I know that it's completely different, but at least you'll get some excersize that doesn't incapacitate you (it will still hurt your leg at first, but the pain is easier to deal with until you heal).

>>13313203
Every single grocery store larer than a stamp in the US has a bakery.

If you're going to use sauce from a can, you might as well just make hamburger helper

>>13314670
I fucking hate getting wet, but I'm fine with the exercise I get. I can do elliptical, stairs, and power walking. I can do anything but running and jumping type stuff, so I like to just get exercise from doing housework and general chores that involve lifting/carrying things plus walking my dog. It's just an adjustment not to go for jogs and runs. Swimming shouldn't hurt as the break was clean through my tibia and fibula in a complete freak accident (literally walking and stepped the wrong way despite bones being just slightly less dense than normal but not osteoporosis level), but I just cannot impact my leg for more than a few minutes without stopping. I have comfort in knowing my leg is now fucking bionic since the plate and screws span most of my lower leg.

>>13314644
Those don't really sound like they're super active activities. Like the other guy said, try swimming. Biking's also low impact and a great exercise.
>>13314696
Still dude you need more. Can you lift weights? Can you do yoga? Yoga's the shit.

>>13314696
>Swimming shouldn't hurt as the break was clean
You would think this at first, but I had to incorporate swimming into my routine, and it hurt the hell out of my bones at first. I thought that I was at 100% before swimming, because I was okay doing plyo at that point. Just a suggestion though, because I'm not your doctor.

I've been telling you guys, man, fucking Europe is a shithole.
>>13314659
>I mean bodegas and small foreign markets really do look like that in the US.
But that's a small minority
Europeans shop at those places unless it's a Tesco or Aldi.
Most of Europe outside of places with Supermarkets, have ONE brand of anything on the shelves, the produce section is a mess, meats are extremely expensive and small.
You have no idea anon those people live a primitive grocery life.
Tesco meat is way, way worse than WalMart meat.

>>13313197
Nj fav fag here. Your exactly right. Between whole foods, wegmans , aldis, and Trader Joe’s you really gotta be sort of a lower class lower middle class to exclusively shop at shopright. Costco is great but remember they don’t have amazing variety you kinda have to go into Costco wanting to buy something you’d already would buy somewhere else anyway .However shopright is pretty heterogenous in how good they are, the one in Morristown is pretty exceptional and theirs a couple more that are great. But a lot haven’t been renovated or changed employees since the late 90s really. I shop their for junk food/kitchen utilities/ sometimes meat is cheaper.

>>13314716
>>13314719
Yeah I should do more for optimal exercise, which I expect once I move outside of the city (hopefully within 2 months but need house to close). I've gotten into a rut where I really am not happy with being here and don't care to leave home, work, or school even though I've always been active. I developed some really strange major agoraphobia during the healing period that I'm working on overcoming, too. The latest thing has been actually doing my own grocery shopping instead of delivery groceries. I don't know why I feel like this as I never did in the past.

>>13314721
>You have no idea anon those people live a primitive grocery life.
I actually do. I grew up in Russia and haven't even been to a supermarket until I were 7. It kind of blew my mind. And that was a shitty 90s Russian supermarket. When I came to the US my mind has left the orbit.

>>13314733
Hmm it's almost as if exercising helped with your anxiety and general mood and your mental health has declined since you stopped exercising as vigorously.

Do some squats and pushups right now.

>>13314721
When I stayed in France there were lots of regular grocery stores plus bakeries, butches, and cheese shops (the drive was a bit longer). But I would think that stores could be small like that in certain areas and especially certain countries.

>>13314731
>they don’t have amazing variety
That's Aldi's as well. You have to shop Alid first b/c they just plain don't have shit sometimes.
WF and TJ's are ripoffs, and unless you're getting some type of super deal there, you're better off so many other places. We have Plum's and Lucky's for better products and produce.
I absolutely shop at Kroger, Meijer, and Family Fare for name brand products that aren't different store to store. You're stupid if you buy mayo from WF.

>>13314751
>You're stupid if you buy mayo from WF.
Sounds like you don't know how to buy store brands/shop on sale.

>>13312594
>capitalism is good because it encourages competition
>and here we seen 250 different types of what Americans call bread, but would elsewhere be called cake.

>>13312594

like americans need additional fucking butter IN their bread.

>>13314763
Why are you so fixated on our shitty bread? We have real bread too and like 20 more aisles of all sorts of shit.

>>13314751
Yes whole foods can be expensive but they do have access to a lot more rare/unique ingredients that may be worth getting. Doing all your shopping their is ridiculous

>>13314763
>>13314770
They are just insane about our bread. For a European, the idea that a store might have discount Wonder Bread AND have an in-store bakery with artisan bread, is just too mind blowing to comprehend.
Ironically, where Europe beats us, I think, is in their sugar-packed goodies like McVittie's and German sweets and other sugar-based stuff.
You know, the shit they accuse us of being addicted to.
Also, they're mostly fat too

>>13314784
>Yes whole foods can be expensive but they do have access to a lot more rare/unique ingredients that may be worth getting.
This is absolutely why I shop more than one store. But I've almost totally replaced WF/TJ with Lucky's which is a small unknown store but they have bulk items in the carboard barrel and specialty high-end items like WF.
>>13314761
>Sounds like you don't know how to buy store brands/shop on sale.
So a 'super deal' like I said?

I have two specialty bistro shops in my town with fresh spices of all types. I can go there and buy 50g of fresh ground cumin for example. I also have an Artisan butcher with local organic meats, where I got my ham for my prosciutto. $40 hope it works but it was 10 lbs. I get my pork kidney fat for my lard there too, last time she gave me a pack for free.

>>13314749
Speaking for myself, I fucking love Europe and they come on here and rag us all the time. It's shameful, we should be friends. I wonder if it's chinese or russians trying to get us to fight. You can tell an ignant Yuropoor though because they think we're all Bo and Luke Duke.
Last time I was in Portugal they were still watching dubbed Starsky and Hutch. From the 1970s kek.

>>13314575
you leave Santa alone

This thread makes me think food deserts are a black urban legend

Is it true in Europe that you have stores for each kind of item? Like instead of a supermarket you have a have small bread store, butcher shop, milk store, produce store, etc.

>>13314891
>food deserts
Seems like solvable problem if you own a vehicle. I wonder if cars are popular in the US.

I've worked in supermarkets most of my life, lemme tell you, the vast majority of that food is getting thrown out.
Supermarkets don't care about how much they're selling when it comes to how much they stock, all they care about is always looking fully stocked.
lemme tell you, there's more than enough food for all the human race, there's no reason for anyone to be hungry.

I'm no commie, but these are facts. The sheer amount of food wasted in the American supermarket machine is unreal.

We have supermarkets in most of the world, OP. They're not much different. Apart from the fact that the fresh vegetable section in most of the world is heavily populated by customers while the frozen trash section isn't, I guess.

>>13314902
>I wonder if cars are popular in the US.
They're gettting less popular and expensive to own.
You probably think you know a lot about cars because you specified "Manual" on your last robotic can't-fail vehicle, Trevor.

>>13314603
JESUS this place looks disgusting. I'd expect to be murdered here.

You guys seriously live like this?

>>13314911
>getting less popular
So they no longer exist in the US, and/or Americans as a whole have less access to vehicles than most of the world?

>>13314891
>>13314902
No they are a real thing.
Inner city places like newark or camden only tend to have one major out of the way grocer and zero chains. Everything else is bodegas that sell stuff that goes bad or at high prices or they dont sell it at all.

>>13314917
Do black people need cars to escape the deserts?

>>13314919
Maybe black people should stop robbing businesses, so that they could continue to operate in their neighborhoods.
>food desert
>high crime neighborhoods

>>13314899
>instead
No, but we do have small-scale bakeries, butcher shops and (less commonly) farmers markets.
At least here in southern germany.

>>13314923
>Do black people need cars to escape the deserts?
They could just try to commit less crime, so that businesses could earn enough to justify keeping a grocery store open near them.

>>13314925
Unfortunately a lot of well to do families also live in shitty cities so they suffer because of those bad eggs. It sucks.

>>13314919
So what you're telling me is that there's a completely untapped market of selling vegetables to niggers

>>13312617
why the fuck is this shit so cheap

>>13314937
Fortunately automobiles, the internet, and same day delivery exists.

What do black people eat in these deserts assuming they're real and not some made up political tool like Black Lives Matter or football kneeling.

>>13314943
We have enough of a surplus in cattle here that we can slaughter literal Auschwitzes worth of them every day, so meat is affordable and cheap.

>>13314956
Ok boomer. I'm talking about inner city hell scapes where maybe people dont have enough money to drive cars, afford internet, and places dont deliver there for obvious reasons and they cant afford the extra deliver fee anyway. Just so you might care about this, yes this includes blue collar asian and white families. Why the fuck would well meaning families live in a food dessert on purpose anywa?

>>13314970
>he believes in food desserts
>desserts

>>13314964
Their real.
McDonald, nothing, food banks, or lots of chips/bread. Rice or instant mac and cheese. Go to the back of the bodega and get the off-off brand produce and eat that. Rappers werent kidding about syrup sandwiches.

I volunteer at homeless shelter for veterans.
Their pretty darn real. considering what 100s of veterans are complaining about their daily life living in these places and the difficulty for us to source food at large quantities from local places that dont exist. yes, they're real

>>13314986
>Homeless shelter for veterans
I'm calling bullshit.

>>13314986
Anecdote isn't evidence

>>13314985
I never said they didnt rob them. Christ the drug store has deodorant behind plastic shielding. Its 99 percent squatting, gubment gib me dats stealing niggers and meth head white guys doing the stealing and fucking things up for everyone else. These neighborhoods also have regular working class families who arent involved with that life and dont have the means to move, so for them yes they experience a food dessert.

>>13314986
Ok, check it out man. Here's what you can do to convince us all: find a couple of these places on a map and post where they are so we can see it for ourselves.

>>13314993
>These neighborhoods also have regular working class families who arent involved with that life and dont have the means to move, so for them yes they experience a food dessert.
Except that these gud bois can just drive to a few minutes more to a grocery store, or just get free delivery. They have access to food.

>>13314994
That would violate HIPAA

>>13315000
No it wouldn't.

>>13314991
I volunteer in the detroit veterans community resource and referall center and because of that volunteer in a couple other local arms.

Again for many of these people who live in these areas they DONT HAVE A CAR! And taking a bus back and forth that they need to scrounge money to pay for and lug bags on bags of groceries (assuming their able bodied, but living in these areas their usually elderlly/handicapped/obese/ are to busy with home life and kids to do that)

this is why white kids in america are shooting up schools, why Doomer meme is popular, and posting about being depressed or complaining that women are vapid and they dont want to fuck them are very popular RN on 4chan. You guys never faced any real adversity so people having issues in their lives are things that you cant even comprehend because you've lived such coddled lives.

Average american is maybe 2 paychecks away max from homelessness. have cancer? instantly ruin an entire families financial prospects. Get into a car accident as a working class family scraping by? Suddenly your missing 50% of the breadwinner of a family already scrapping by, the guy hit by the car gets addicted to benzos and it escalates from their. Be an unskilled laborer making decent change but laid off? Good luck finding another job with no computer skills, resume experience, or education. Or simply be a veteran with some sort of PTSD or just a normal guy with serious mental issues, suddenly you dont function in society and its viciously easy step to homelessness from their. To get that GED/job interview your going to need a phone, mailing address, a clean shower, and a mode of transportation. Their are many factors that affect regular people that cut this line out. Joker isnt too wrong in saying that all it takes is one bad day, many normal people are one bad day from being fucked over.

https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-access-research-atlas/go-to-the-atlas/

take your pic. here is an entire fucking map of america of food deserts. their are a SHIT ton of rural food desert that goes unspoken. Alot of whites their

>>13315000
HR bro here. You should google what HIPAA is, because you sure as fuck don't sound like you know what it is.

>>13315000
You are completely clueless.
You not knowing what HIPAA is shows you never had to read a health insurance package so basically never had a real job.

I'm American and I liked this thread even though I go to a ShopRite pretty regularly. Comfy thread op.

>>13315043
Boo hoo hoo. You don't know shit about how any of us grew up faggot.

>>13315051
You have to read health insurance packages to get a job there? Fuck America is a weird place.

>>13315055
This tells me you've never had a good package and just take what ever the company gives you cause you have zero bargaining ability/ any skills

>>13315053
Found the coddled white kid. I dont need to know how you grew up, I can already tell everything I need to know about you by your complete disregard of any and all my statements. I'm sure getting bullied in high school for liking anime or that your parents divorced so you couldnt get the BMW that you wanted so you settled for an 09 nissan hand me down instead.

>>13315063
" edit, was such a bummer for you.

>>13315063
I live in civilisation and pay for good healthcare through my taxes, actually.

>>13315068
Well then that doesnt apply to you then. American health care does suck gotta admit, but being an american and not knowing HIPAA to some degree as a high earning adult would be pretty dumb

>>13315063
The only thing you got right is "white". You seem to think that everyone who grows up in bad conditions thinks about poverty and poor people in the same way.

>Yeltsin, then 58, “roamed the aisles of Randall’s nodding his head in amazement,” wrote Asin. He told his fellow Russians in his entourage that if their people, who often must wait in line for most goods, saw the conditions of U.S. supermarkets, “there would be a revolution.”
>Yeltsin asked customers about what they were buying and how much it cost, later asking the store manager if one needed a special education to manage a store. In the Chronicle photos, you can see him marveling at the produce section, the fresh fish market, and the checkout counter. He looked especially excited about frozen pudding pops.
>“Even the Politburo doesn’t have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev,” he said.
>“When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people,” Yeltsin wrote. “That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty!

Doesnt matter their are lots of types of poverty and to address that people from the local or near local area needs to adress their specific needs. Whatever kind of soggy complacent white kid you are, you still are one. Same could be said for all the /pol/tards who think food deserts dont exist, they see all poor people as poor black gib me dats when their is equally as many suffering people of all backgrounds. Keep on being a dumbass dude.

As if I havent been talking back and forth about whites also experiencing hefty invisible poverty. You guys suffer as well and also in silence.

Whites are the majority of the most coddled kids, especially ones who frequent 4chan. It isnt asians or ashknazi jew kids shooting up schools, its fuckin Dyllan and Trent angry his mom didnt pay for his runescape membership and goes on a rampage.

>>13315110
Sounds like a white upper middle class early to mid 20s idealist who thinks he can save all the poor stupid people with his superior intellect as if poverty tourists like you haven't been rotating out of the slums for decades without doing shit but stroking your ego.

Like lmfao getting people housing, free dental care care, and jobs even if im stroking my ego while doing that at least lives are being physically changed by this. No you dont change everyone and their are many lost causes but that doesnt mean you dont try. Neither white, nor middle class nor anywhere near my 20s nor liberal. Poor people being poor isnt a political issue lol They exist whether you like trump or not, but apparently dedicating a large portion of your free time and career towards it is being some sort of idealist liberals. Sounds like we need more of those " idealist" liberal poverty tourist like me than sad soggy fucks who shit in peoples breakfasts like you.

I think its more of a Korean/Japanese asian wealthy thing. Any SEA asian is automatically dirt poor and many chinese are just blue collar

pretending most jews arent just jews by name and dont participate in regular day to day non jew white culture is a lot of cognative dissonance. But your 1/356 irish and 1/32394 german right? Gotta keep that mutt pure white heritage strong

Ask anyone in the military now working in civvy world if its good lol. Im not gonna blast you on that because you may not be exposed to alot of veterans, but like anything else with the goverment, they will jew you out of care any which way they can.

No one actually goes hungry in first world countries, aside from people with mental issues preventing them from accessing help in the first place.
Not saying waste is good or anything, but starvation has basically been eliminated as a concern so it's not like throwing out the apples that get a little bruised or the cookies that are a day over expiration is actually depriving anyone of a meal.

Places that do have hunger problems are suffering infrastructure and cultural issues, not supply.

>>13315180
>but for those of even middle class income bracket its really not that great.

I'm guessing that you're actually unemployed, or just really a foreigner that's just spouting off what he believes is true about American healthcare.

It’s better than average American.

And for the guy thinking American healthcare is good, yes I’m sure your happy and healthy visits are fine and dandy but as soon as you need any surgery, any common but chronic medicine ( think chrons, diabetes, autoimmune Diseases) it suddenly gets expensive.

I've lived in the US for three years and didn't find a single nice cheese. 90% of the cheese is cheddar, american cheese, monterey jack, which is all different types of the same garbage, the rest 10% are imported cheeses which have become disgusting on the way or were made disgusting to begin with since Americans can't tell the difference. The rest, processed, creamy, string shit I don't even call cheese.

Nobody's holding you prisoner. Leave.

Have you tried the cheese aisle, or a deli?

>>13315971
You're literally seething and while it would be easy to disprove your claim, I can tell you would quickly discount the evidence secondary to that personality disorder you're wearing on your sleeve.

>>13315971
So leave. Goodbye!

Anon hasn't ever been to the US, because she would know that everything edible, and safe to eat from every country is available.

A few states tax groceries, some of them have a rebate program for the tax.

>>13316045
Yea Americans really have large clean supermarkets that you can drive in.
Don't pretend that it doesn't impress you.

>>13316012
what's the point of complicated tax laws? sounds like a massive pita

I used to work at a grocery store and the back area was pretty small compared to the store so we put extra stock in top shelf so we weren't tripping over it in the back. Just need a small step stool to get ut

You could not be more wrong

Was going to post this. If youre not from a small town or go to a specialty grocer that place is actually tiny for an american super market.

Highschoolers typically don't work produce since they can't operate the baler if they're under 18.

Highschoolers typically only work the registers.

You don't know shit about retail.

Nah, mate, it isn't.

God forbid you have to take the train to get food.

>>13315240
There is a sales tax on some food items. Go get a hot rotisserie chicken and then let me know what you paid for it.

>>13316006
no fresh maras ice for you since the important ingredients arent allowed to be exported for some more years
:^)

>>13316006
the produce imported to america is completely different and of lower quality most of the time. Try to eat that same stuff in the country of origin and you'll see what I'm talking about.

>>13315971
Do you live in the middle of nowhere or something? I get annoyed that my closest grocery stores don't have more cheese options, but if I'm willing to drive farther then I can find a lot more.
