@@ratzelbarreto2070 I worked at *majorgamestore* during that time. I think I've successfully blocked most of it out, but among the things I remember were: a) We got SIXTEEN units when we had initially been promised more like two hundred. b) Corporate made us put out "The Wii is here!" displays despite us not having them to sell except to pre-order customers (and would not for many, many months). c) One of our guys got stuck on phone duty; I'm not sure it really ever stopped ringing. He kept a tally of callers asking for a Wii; he gave up at about two hundred calls...in less than two hours.
Has anyone ever walked into a store and thought, "I don't need a cart. I'm just here for essentials." Only to look like an absolute boob, walking up to the register, barely hanging on to everything? No? Just me? Okay.
OMG, supermarket battles. Heaven forbid Kroger's has a sale on SPAM or toilet paper! There would be fatalities! Thanks so much, Agro. This is one for the downloads. EDIT: or not. 😊 It's delicious.
I like the planet Kroger, I call it Krogerville myself. Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, and get you the recognition you deserve.
Yeah, I'd damned near kill for those prices myself but...'planetoid scale' agro factory + shipping via transit tubes = low _LOW_ PRICES!!! Or something like that... 😉
Heh, by then, they've probably built their own O'Neil Cylinder ..... 'Cincinnati Terminal'...home of 1001 Microbreweries, and the Quadrant's 'Longest Running Oktoberfest', by now. 😁 (...and the new home of Jungle Jim's, Orion Arm Edition...)
There would be riots now if the groceries were this cheap. $0.89/lb ground beef, $20 a full goat, $0.75 a dozen eggs, $4 a rotisserie chicken, $5/lb tuna, and $1 for 10 lbs of potatoes?

This sounds like my idea shopper. Big believer in privacy, armed & ready to fight for a good deal & complete with a purposely trashy vehicle for the sake of appearance & budget. We could be great neighbors except for the privacy & self imposed isolation deal,😅.
Reminds me of the hoard of Chinese at Aldis meat section at reduction time like the film world war z when the zombies climbing over each other to get over the wall . Oh the joy of mass immigration .
8billion chickens, to qualify as humane farming practice according to early twenty first century standards of practice. Would cover 8 billion square metres. That's a lot.
Wow. Down vote one of the only good non AI Sci Fi readers on UA-cam. Sounds about right for people who are sensitive though. He also changes it to “Feck” most of the time to try to censor it at least a bit. But how it is written is how it is written. He can’t change stuff. That’d be on the original writer to do so.
@@Toxked Oh boo hoo, a bit of cussing. You're complaining about nothing. How fragile are you where you feel the need to comment several times about something as insignificant as a curse word? What about when you hear this in public? You don't have the right to try to censor peoples speech just because you don't want to hear it, so either get over it or move on to watching someone who will accommodate your overly sensitive self.
"I was there...I don't know how, but I lived through the Battle of Aisle Five..."
For me day one of the Wii launch, 16 hours of no sleep 😢.

No.
Been there, am only going to buy a light bulb and ended up more than needed.
All the time
If I were restocking my asteroid I'd expect far more price gouging and less gunplay
Price gouge too much snd he will head over to aldis even though it is further.
Agreed, violence is not tolerated.

funny thing is i almost got into a fight over TP at the beginning of covid
Gives the jingle " Let's go Krogering" a whole new meaning.
BTW, thanks for this one. It was fun
"So long as you use your non-lethal weapons defensively please enjoy your shopping today." Sounds like a Great Filter phenomenon to me!

First I get Squirrel for breakfast... Now I get Squirrel for dinner as well
Careful, squirrel may fill the stomach but have little nutritional value on their own.
But still more satisfying than popcorn.
For the Skwerl! For the Algorithm! For Derpy the Goat! Loved it, so glad we don't suffer this level of flash sales here... yet! xD
I love this narration. It reminds me of when I shop!
God dang, wonder if that's space economy, or if they ever got earth's inflation under control. Those prices sound heavenly
Yeah, I'd damned near kill for those prices myself but...'planetoid scale' agro factory + shipping via transit tubes = low _LOW_ PRICES!!!
Or something like that... 😉
I listened to the olde version and enjoyed it tremendously.
Great story; Excellent narration! Next week on "Shopping Battles" we'll see which of our contestants..." LOL!!!
Love the idea of naming a ship The Scrap Heap!
My grocery store journey is less adventurous.
An entire species of Karens and Black Friday shoppers... yeah I'd contest those weapon policies too.
Great story!
Brilliant
😂 Thanks sir. Excellent narration! Great story.
In a universe where black Friday sales are every day!!! Sounds worse than the purge :)
Great story and even better narrator!
I wonder if Planet Kroger still has its Kroger corporate headquarters in Cincinnati Ohio USA ? 🤔
Heh, by then, they've probably built their own O'Neil Cylinder ..... 'Cincinnati Terminal'...home of 1001 Microbreweries, and the Quadrant's 'Longest Running Oktoberfest', by now. 😁

@@ironwolfF1 an Orion Arm edition of Jungle Jim’s is wayyyy better than another Kroger… we gotta keep the Xenos away from the Hot Sauce aisle though
Sounds like my local Piggly Wiggly. Always an adventure in consumerism.
Digging the new jacket! =)
Combat grocery shopping... never would've expected that.
Thanks for the reading
For DA SKWERL and his Nest
Can we, um, get directions to this place, please. Those prices would be great.
I am disappointed the forgotten item wasn't bacon.
I like how you think.
That was a fun story
I think I prefer my version of Kroger. We have higher prices, but I have yet to feel the desire to carry a stun baton.
I was entertained.😅
There would be riots now if the groceries were this cheap. $0.89/lb ground beef, $20 a full goat, $0.75 a dozen eggs, $4 a rotisserie chicken, $5/lb tuna, and $1 for 10 lbs of potatoes?
Those prices are well worth some mortal combat with fish.
For the Algorithm, for the Author(s), for the Holographic Voice!

Haha, great story even if it is a horrible future to think of
Macadamia mahi mahi? Sign me up!

So, shopping never chances, huh.
68th, sorry I was shopping and got pinned down when Karen's spotted a youth in isle 3. Oh the horror!
You made a middling story a good one.
Only 75cents for a dozen eggs?
They are $4 here.
Reminds me of the hoard of Chinese at Aldis meat section at reduction time like the film world war z when the zombies climbing over each other to get over the wall . Oh the joy of mass immigration .
Thinks that bad it's worse at Costco. It's puts the battle of the chosin reservoir to shame. No option but retreat.
@@jacobhuff3748Chesty Puller would have stacked those Chinese like sandbags in the Frozen food section .
A vertically integrated grocery store, neat and efficient. I probably know someone who would get the LSD enhanced human milk.
For the algorithm 👽👾🤖🌌🛰🚀🛸🌠

Half way through the story i had to order groceries online. Lines are for losers

@micahdeck9553 I did not down vote it. I have posted several time about it. He did not say "feck" I wish he would. I don't want to hear it.
Oh no !!! Did the real world step on your closed mind? Oops...
