I can't help but think of the editors watching the raw footage and being like...wtf do we do with this?!?!? I guess...just add dramatic music to the craziness and let people figure out whatever they want? But seriously, thinking about the raw footage is hilarious.
And the funniest part to me is, he legit said when dude walked in, "Oh, I don't think I've ever seen that guy before" even though he LITERALLY HAD JUST CHECKED HIM OUT probably less than 30 seconds before 🤣
The ending was amazing, the world breaking around him, the people getting stuck on the shelf, him trying to leave, realizing he's stuck in a box with no way out, he sees the man that started it all, goes back to the shop and sees a retail workers worst nightmare... A MASSIVE LINE and immediately leaves and goes to cry in an alleyway until he no clips out of the world, all the while that damn generic beautiful music... a cinematic masterpiece of a retail workers decent into madness, Muah, Chef's Kiss
I live for this. I work my minimum wage 12 hour shift at the supermarket, and I come home all tired and just wanting to relax so I flip on some markiplier. "oh hes got a new upload Ill check it out" my eyes fill with tears. I drop to my knees, theres vomit already, mark forgot to restock the spaghetti
I was playing the game myself while watching. At one point, while Mark is rambling about his oil, I was ordering stuff for my store. I was so confused when I stared at the boxes of oil I ordered, because I did not need oil
@@emmakris6933 Please tell me you didn't buy 40 boxes of oil... Actually, scratch that. You can still sell them, as long as they're not going out of a piss-colored quad shelf.
the ending part where mark has a masive crisis had me folding like a lawn chair. The pure distraught, him trying to find a way out, going back into his store only to run into an alley way and then entire buildings disappear and the sky takes over. Truly a work of art.
I rolled onto my back like a flipped turtle and was choking on my food cry laughing at that 😂 I was already tear stained from the first 5mins of the ugly color he picked and cringing before he even bought it, then crying at how much he hated it, then cry laughing at the whole “oh man” meltdown cause I felt it just as hard 😆 There has to be 30 more episodes of this PLEAAASEE!!
honestly, mark being speechless at customer complaints then running away while crying just to come back to a full store full of people, only to cry more...pretty accurate to retail
FYI, if your customers or restockers get stuck, remove everything from the shelf that's sticking them (may take some trial and error), remove the price tag, then restock. If the problem is in the storage room, let your restocker put the product away (they seem to get stuck far less if i let them do it). Also saving, exiting, and reloading can work, too. I came across the solution after much cursing and headdesking, then wondered how Mark would handle that bug. His reaction was everything i could have hoped for! 😂
The customer is if a product is out, they go back and forth constantly. I had it constantly with the Chokpi(Think its the spelling) Cereal and Susu Powdered Sugar. The moment I restock it, 90% of it is taken instantly. Had like 7-8 people like that.
@@WinterLass not exactly, the real issue is that when you switch products location they will have a predetermined pathway when they spawn. (this happens with stockers as well) to fix is 1. Remove the glitches item from the shelves and clear product and remove shelf and they will find it in ist new space. 2. To remove the glitch so it doesn't repeat, save and reload and the paths will remove the old data and nobody will be confused again. But if you reorganize the store it gets really messy. And needs rebooted until bug fix.
So happy you’re playing this, you’ve brought a lot of attention to this game. I’ve spent over 40 hours on it and love it. If you do continue, if possible could you make it clear that this game is on Steam only? Lots of people commenting after accidentally buying cheap knock offs on mobile and on the PS store, which are filled with bugs and don’t have half of the features this one does. Everyone I’ve asked said they were inspired to buy after watching your videos and it would be great if they bought the right game moving forward, not just to get what they paid for but to also support the devs who are working hard on a new update!
Six days later and I literally got an ad for a mobile version of this game from this video. Yeah the scum of the earth just gunning for every dollar they can get by *_poorly_* copying someone else's idea and marketing it are just the worst. I love the protections available to creators not to be nailed to the cross for producing similar works as another, but things like that are just blatantly obvious and should be taken down with extreme prejudice. Congrats on making such a nice game so quickly! Looking forward to seeing future works from you. Maybe for future games, try and make it obvious in the game itself where it will be available so things like this are harder to do to you.
Exactly What happened to me today,i downloaded the wrong Game from appstore 😭 Maybe you could add it in the App Store and Google store in the future? It would be nice to be able to play this game!!
Unfortunate all the way around, honestly. I'd love to try the game out, but it's not available on consoles. You might assume that the ppl on Playstation can just play on PC, but that isn't true for a lot of us. If there's only a cheap knock-off available for consoles, then it's that or nothing for us. Not everyone can/wants to game on PC... so if devs don't include any alternate platforms for their game then... /shrug. We take what we can get.
The game doesn't actually model shopping habits. Milk, bread, coffee, pasta, oil, flour. All the same. All the game tracks is relative price in determining the chances of someone buying something. Better oil prices and it would fly off the shelves much faster than everyday essentials.
This was some of the funniest, quality content that I have seen in months. Mark, having a complete breakdown and running through the streets and yelling out “I’m in a box!” And then staring into a man’s face and saying “you started this!” I was crying laughing.
"This is the story of a woman named Mariella." On her way to the ironically named Supermarket store, she came across the body of a man who had stumbled through town, talking and screaming to himself and then collapsed in a side alley. He was obviously a retail employee, that much she knew. Everyone knows what retail employees look like. In that moment, she thought to herself how lucky she was to be working at her fathers restaurant. Some have told her that it's "basically the same thing as working retail", but she'd always insist that it wasn't. It was comforting to think this, and in a certain way, seeing this man made her feel better. But then she remembered some VIPs that had booked the entire place and were scheduled for later that day, the very important people whose impressions of her would affect her career, and, by extension, the rest of her life. She had no time for this, she still needed to get a bunch of ingredients to help prepare for the VIP, including an entire case of cooking oil, so it was only a moment that she stood there, staring down at the body. And then she turned and ran. @@joshualee9626
Didn't expect a deep lore story plot line to develop by the end. Also, you saw the color swatch, Mark. The shelf color looks exactly like it. You did this to yourself.
The feedback loop of the game bugging out and then Mark bugging out, only for the game to bug out even worse is the best gaming representation possible of working retail during the holidays. Truly this game is a masterpiece!
YES. finally. a video about a grown man losing his shit on a single quad shelf and go whoopie outta the boundaries of world into the outer grid. love this
“Finally” The only thing funnier than Mark having an existential crisis over realizing it’s a video game, is the fact you’ve been waiting for it for so long 😂
I worked in stocking for a bit and watching Mark NOT turn the quad into a “home baking” section with the oils and salt and flour, even the pasta and rice is KILLING me This is what happens when you let a condom thief run a super market 😂😂
My mum is a file manager clerk for the supermarket she works for and basically she has to run around making sure the prices match and work (once a month almost everything changes and she works overnight) so seeing Mark running around panicking about setting prices made me extra appreciate what my mum does for the community 😂 💜
The problem is that customers are psychic. As soon as you buy a license all customers expect every new item to be stocked even though they shouldn't know you got a license. Had the same experience on the Switch version(Made by a different studio). Bought a license, didn't have the funds to stock all the new stuff, many unhappy customers.
as an interior design major, watching mark desperately try to make his store look decent while making the absolute strangest and least intuitive choices is prolly my favorite part of this series lol
I love that at the end, he acts out the insanity, but then we the game glitches, it turns into actual terror. Also, the end music at quarter speed sounds cool.
In case there are other new players to this game here and no one has mentioned the work around to that fun little glitch: in the moment, removing whatever is on the shelf in front of the stuck person makes them finally move, but reloading the game actually clears the problem (until it comes up again). Save and quit, boot it back up. If the stuck NPC is a customer, starting a new day makes them go away, but if it's a restocker, they stay stuck until you reload. From what I can tell, this happens when you change where product is, so if you set up your store, then decide your pasta or cereal or whatever should be in a different area, this can be expected.
Thank you for sharing this! I saw that this game is starting to get negative reviews from people complaining about this exact glitch, so it's nice that there's an easy workaround!
@@jacobhake342 Glad I was able to help someone with that! The way I was bashing my head against the wall when my restockers got stuck >_< Bonus tip for a glitch I've seen recently: If you're holding a box and it doesn't let you throw or set it down = put one thing in it, put it on a metro, then pick it back up. It could be that just throwing it away works for that one, but I never throw my boxes away anymore, I empty them and then huck them across the map and let the stockers grab them. Lol XD
I'm loving the excessive cinematography of such a simplistic game about being a grocery store owner. It's adding an intriguing story line to the game that otherwise shouldn't be there. Nice work Mark and Lixian
@@RebaMcImTired In my country (Brazil, if it accounts for anything) they are. And it fucking sucked. As someone who wants to start his own business, I could see the odd genius behind it but in practice it was pure, simple hell. Imagine working in a store that *doesn't actually have doors or walls*
26:42 I actually was skipping through the video 30 seconds and landed EXACTLY here and genuinely got scared, and went back 30 seconds 😂.. great job mark!!!!
Yeah I guess I meant that, other than the interactions and his little animated guy coming up and Mark talking to him, a person usually doesn’t consciously notice the edits, but I forget that he has other editors and their edits get overlooked way more often
Something about Mark repeatedly pronouncing "Rice Bassmaati" is so hilarious as an Indian who enjoys basmati rice every now and then. Never change mark, you just made my crappy day a little better
I read this at the 11:45 mark and had to pause it because I couldn't stop laughing. It's also very late/early and I'm very tired 😅😂 (completely unrelated... it's just when I saw it so no one click on it expecting anything funny- my time, that is.... DID I MENTION I WAS TIRED? Lol... 😅😂)
I know you probably already know this BUT the people are walking into the shelves like that because they’re looking for products that haven’t been restocked 😊found that out playing this myself. I love your content!
I do love how Mark points that out, how the NPC's will IMMEDIATELY know when you get a License and try and find the items of the License in your store, but won't bother trying to find cheaper versions of items (Like Flour or Pasta) in your store if you don't have the version their wanting
8:40 - "If I have a good price on them, will they sell faster? - absolutely not. Price only has the effect that if it's too high for the NPCs (and they all seem to have individually set thresholds), they they just won't buy it. But a price that's set high, but doesn't trigger that threshold, will mean they'll buy it just as fast or slow as any other price markup.
Just imagine going to buy some stuff Just to see the only employee having a mental breakdown in front of a pee yellow shelf while whispering "its your fault".
No offense Mark, but if a man ran up to me yelling "OIL! OIL! OIL!" as he tried to coax me into his supermarket and then tried to shoot laser beams from his eyes because I didn't, my heart would stop right then and there.
People walk into the supermarket, give one quick glance at the big yellow display and go like... "Oil never buy this." Can't wait for Mark getting an employee. Also, that ending just made Top 10 Anime Betrayals.
Step 4: Eventually have a panic attack, run out of your store, notice that you’re in an inescapable box Step 5: Go back to the store, notice that you have triple the customers as when you left Step 6: break the game
between mark going crazy and lixian's perfect comedic editing, this has genuinely made me laugh harder than any video has in a long while 😭 thank you both for making such amazing videos lmao
I work at a small neighborhood supermarket and this is super close to RL at my job honestly. You remind me of me and my coworkers dilly dallying, I love it
Mark can you please lower your prices of milk? My dad went out to buy some and he still hasnt returned. My guess is that he's trying find some cheap milk since we barely make enough to sustain a living😔😔 Please.. I miss him so much..
when mark started reorganizing his store near the end i started skipping and i perfectly hit the part where he tells me to go back and enjoy the reorganizing
imagine going to a store and seeing the owner giggling excitedly as you pick up a thing of oil

If the stuck NPC is a customer, starting a new day makes them go away, but if it's a restocker, they stay stuck until you reload.
From what I can tell, this happens when you change where product is, so if you set up your store, then decide your pasta or cereal or whatever should be in a different area, this can be expected.
Thank you for sharing this! I saw that this game is starting to get negative reviews from people complaining about this exact glitch, so it's nice that there's an easy workaround!
@@jacobhake342 Glad I was able to help someone with that! The way I was bashing my head against the wall when my restockers got stuck >_<
Bonus tip for a glitch I've seen recently: If you're holding a box and it doesn't let you throw or set it down = put one thing in it, put it on a metro, then pick it back up.
It could be that just throwing it away works for that one, but I never throw my boxes away anymore, I empty them and then huck them across the map and let the stockers grab them. Lol XD
I'm loving the excessive cinematography of such a simplistic game about being a grocery store owner. It's adding an intriguing story line to the game that otherwise shouldn't be there. Nice work Mark and Lixian
I didn’t think I’d love this game so much but somehow it is so goddamn entertaining and I’m so excited for the next part lol
The ending reminds me of my slow descent into the darkest pits of hell while working at a bookstore in an airport. Pure relatable poetry.
Not to be totally stupid, but I didn’t even know bookstores in airports were a thing.
@@RebaMcImTired
In my country (Brazil, if it accounts for anything) they are. And it fucking sucked. As someone who wants to start his own business, I could see the odd genius behind it but in practice it was pure, simple hell. Imagine working in a store that *doesn't actually have doors or walls*
@@genkureshima9834they have them everywhere in america! its like a mall inside your terminal
@@genkureshima9834Can we have some stories of this airport bookstore?
It says a lot about me that I could watch twenty episodes of this. Mostly that I've been away from retail for long enough to feel joy again.
That truman show-style ending where Mark realizes that there's no way to leave the town and he starts seeing duplicates of customers is just😭😭
9:18 Markiplier forgot his arch nemesis from the part 1 😔
He was standing there staring at mark towards the end as the universe began to end.
that one person who skipped to 26:41 is probably terrified
That would be me. I thought my mind was being read. Scarier than any horror game.
Yeah no joke I was just looking through the video, and he suddenly is very directly calling me out, scared the crap out of me lol
Im terrified that he knew that I was actually watching this on 1.5x speed (completely by accident but you get my point)
26:42 I actually was skipping through the video 30 seconds and landed EXACTLY here and genuinely got scared, and went back 30 seconds 😂.. great job mark!!!!
Literally went to the comments hoping this happened to someone 🤣
I accidentally hit x2 at that moment 💀
Almost the same thing happened to me except that I skipped 20 seconds 😂 I flinched
Bruh same, I went to skip through him reorganising the store and got hit with "DID YOU SKIP?!? GO BACK!" Lmao
LIKE ACTUALLY I WAS LIKE HOW DOES HE KNOW 😭
_THE SIMULATION IS FAILING! HE'S BECOMING SELF-AWARE!!_
Shit, pull him back him, pull him back in!
🤣🤣
for some reason i love this game so much. especially mark playing it. mark playing simulator games is everything to me lmaoo
Never more have I wanted a series to be continued more than this.
I feel the same way.
Same here
Same
9:39 the slow look got me dead 😭🤣
Markiplier going crazy over oil the whole time is funny-
I love Lixian’s editing it just enhances the videos so much but a person hardly notices it usually
Lixian makes us ALL notice. He and Mark have created such a fantastic relationship of running gags, and their chemistry is SO PERFECT!
If anything his other editors go unnoticed because they're not as hands on in on screen jokes as he is
Yeah I guess I meant that, other than the interactions and his little animated guy coming up and Mark talking to him, a person usually doesn’t consciously notice the edits, but I forget that he has other editors and their edits get overlooked way more often
Something about Mark repeatedly pronouncing "Rice Bassmaati" is so hilarious as an Indian who enjoys basmati rice every now and then.
Never change mark, you just made my crappy day a little better
5:42 , looks like the rest of the shellves are huddled in fear of the quad 😂😂
It does 😂
The piss quad is scary man don't underestimate it
I read this at the 11:45 mark and had to pause it because I couldn't stop laughing. It's also very late/early and I'm very tired 😅😂 (completely unrelated... it's just when I saw it so no one click on it expecting anything funny- my time, that is.... DID I MENTION I WAS TIRED? Lol... 😅😂)
@@shannonstibor6967ayoooo the heck you're saying... btw i am not tired
Mark: I think I'm really going to enjoy having to go around the counter like this
Customers: yeah, us too :-))
"you started this" 32:26 had me dying
I genuinely almost choked because of that, that was so good and so precise
It was perfect 😂
I know you probably already know this BUT the people are walking into the shelves like that because they’re looking for products that haven’t been restocked 😊found that out playing this myself. I love your content!
This is gonna become a 20-part series, and I am here for it.
I want more supermarket simulator! This is one of the best simulator games Marks played
I think you'd have a great time watching Game Grumps play it with Arin's chaotic energy and panicking.
I do love how Mark points that out, how the NPC's will IMMEDIATELY know when you get a License and try and find the items of the License in your store, but won't bother trying to find cheaper versions of items (Like Flour or Pasta) in your store if you don't have the version their wanting
It's always good to see Mark enjoying himself in a game.
30:53 Baby dinosaur noises followed by baby alien noises. Top tier supermarket!
32:42
NPC: * Growing into stacks*
Mark: "I ðøň'ț ẃªňț ṭø đō îť ªňýmõřẹ" (Proceeds to use teleport outside the world)
Idk what’s funnier. Markiplier letting the oil shelf and just regretting it, or the game grumps buying a freezer they don’t have products to put in
where can I see this majestic and probably unplugged beast of a freezer
Mark is that kind of crazy guy that everyone loves ... long live the king mark
23:47 turning this game into a horror game would be the change up of the century
8:40 - "If I have a good price on them, will they sell faster? - absolutely not. Price only has the effect that if it's too high for the NPCs (and they all seem to have individually set thresholds), they they just won't buy it. But a price that's set high, but doesn't trigger that threshold, will mean they'll buy it just as fast or slow as any other price markup.
I feel like this is true in real life, too. Well, it is for me anyway. I go to a store to buy what I wanted to buy.
Just imagine going to buy some stuff Just to see the only employee having a mental breakdown in front of a pee yellow shelf while whispering "its your fault".
No offense Mark, but if a man ran up to me yelling "OIL! OIL! OIL!" as he tried to coax me into his supermarket and then tried to shoot laser beams from his eyes because I didn't, my heart would stop right then and there.
When Mark figures out he can hold the left and right mouse buttons to stock and unstock shelves he's gonna be unstoppable
People walk into the supermarket, give one quick glance at the big yellow display and go like... "Oil never buy this."
Can't wait for Mark getting an employee.
Also, that ending just made Top 10 Anime Betrayals.
PLEASE CONTINUE I WANT AN ENTIRE SUPERMARKET EMPIRE, PART 500, 1 MILLION DOLLARS AND THE QUAD SHELF FITS, IT MAY EVEN BE TOO SMALL
26:56
Mark: get back to the beginning
Me: *goes back to the beginning * 😂😂😂
Step 1 : get a quad shelf with the worst colour
Spet 2 : put it in the worst place at the store
Step 3 : fill it with oil😂
Step 4: Eventually have a panic attack, run out of your store, notice that you’re in an inescapable box
Step 5: Go back to the store, notice that you have triple the customers as when you left
Step 6: break the game
Step 4 : Profit??
@@parallax8298thats step 7
That'd be step 8 after step 7 which is breaking reality itself.
between mark going crazy and lixian's perfect comedic editing, this has genuinely made me laugh harder than any video has in a long while 😭 thank you both for making such amazing videos lmao
I'm super glad Mark made a part 2 to this
Mark should definitely bring back this series
26:30
Epic action. Perfect spot to skip to.
I didn't skip through the video, but Mark told me to go back. I have been here for TWELVE DAYS
26:50 decided to switch to 0.5 speed, drunk Mark is priceless 🤣🤣🤣
Drunk?
It is now my favorite way to watch Mark
Oh cuz 0.5...
Mark freaking tf out as the game starts breaking all at once has me cackling 😂😂😂
This bouta be my favorite series if this continues
I love how everything flew off the shelves except the oils (peanut butter included)
That cliff hanger ending!! Also kudos to Lixian on the editing I was dying from laughter.
I work at a small neighborhood supermarket and this is super close to RL at my job honestly. You remind me of me and my coworkers dilly dallying, I love it
The sudden descent into madness from 31:30 to the end is hilarious🤣😂
Mark can you please lower your prices of milk? My dad went out to buy some and he still hasnt returned. My guess is that he's trying find some cheap milk since we barely make enough to sustain a living😔😔 Please.. I miss him so much..
Sorry to say this, but I think he might be stuck to a shelf :(
Uhhhh...
@@cathaluna3725 I'm dead💀
The quad ate him, our deepest condolences.
YESSSSSS I CRAVE SUPERMARKET SUMULATOR
SAME
ME TOO
REAL
Sumulator 🥸
SAMEEE!!!
Seeing so much support and love here is amazing. Blessings to you all.
I SKIPPED TO 26:38 FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO AND GAVE MYSELF THE BIGGEST HEART ATTACK I WAS SO CONFUSED
Sponsorblock?
The fact that Mark did a little mining off camera in Supermarket Simulator of all things is hilarious to me
when mark started reorganizing his store near the end i started skipping and i perfectly hit the part where he tells me to go back and enjoy the reorganizing
That “you started this…” edit literally made me laugh til I cried
