That edit made me laugh, 'cause I totally understand. For example, I had a ‘Gram’ and a ‘Gran’ and my whole life I can never remember for sure which goes by which. Makes me feel like an asshole, lol.
I’m glad he taught you how to make your own, by the way. It’s so damn tasty. Now I’m craving homemade tomato-based pasta sauce…
dude i feel like i should make the title of my autobiography “Where did all these grampas come from” or something but like, grampas were pretty cool. I looked up to them enough that my friends started calling me grampa in high school
Kroger actively wants their employees to do this. (Source: worked in this hellhole for 13 years. Would choose homelessness/starvation over going back)
Its a psycholigical trick to make you think its cheaper than it is. Intended to make you think subconciously “It can’t be that expensive if they treat it this poorly.”
I do think they picked the wrong product for this treatment considering shrink and high price. It should be shit like dvds and other durable products.
As someone that spent the better part of their youth making other people money at a grocery store, I’m bummed that I never had to build a comically oversized pyramid of bean cans that:
A: A neurotic but lovable protagonist that is just trying to get through shopping day would make the whole stack implode by taking a single can.
Or
B: A random cat in a panic would scurry up and around it as I frantically keep the pyramid from collapsing. Once the cat has fled the scene I would utter a sigh of relief just before a dog who was after the cat would crash through the stack just in time for the manager to appear and scold me for the mess.
