    Thanks everoyne for watching. I filmed this literally hours before the recent events in Moscow. I was on my way home from this store as things were unfolding. I am still in shock at what happened, and watching some of the videos of the event is certainly something that will stick with me for long time. I was only at Crocus City on Wednesday, 2 days eariler attending a food expo. I am really lost for words to express my condolences over what happened. I am on Telegram if anyone wants to reach out to me: t.me/travellingwithrussell

    Re: The meaning of “chesnóck” in Russian
    Hi, Russell! First of all, the very special thanks for all the great videos you making. As I’m aware of it, this is the second video you mention “chesnóck” in. So, first of all I’m obliged to say that I’m not living in Russia (I live in Belarus, actually) but I’m native Russian speaker. And two more points I have to specify. Mainly, all of my understanding concerning the very special meanings and allusions connected with the word “chesnóck” do not pretend to be absolute, they are to be perceived, as we say, IMHO. And secondly, I’ll be using accent marks to be helpful with your pronunciation.
    Well, you know, of course that “chesnóck” in Russian means “garlic”, but colloquially, it also widely used in such phrases as “po chesnockú” meaning literally “po chésnomu” (“in honest way” or “honestly” in Russian). Hope, you catch the allusion connected with the name of the “Chesnóck” network.
    One more thing. You have noticed, of course, the “Dayú zubóck” slogan in the supermarket. In English it means “I’m giving you a clove of garlic”, but in Russian there exists quite commonly used phrase “Dayú zúb” (“I’m giving you a tooth”) meaning “I swear by my own tooth” or “Take my tooth of me if I’m not right”.
    Hope, I was helpful. Wish you the very best.

    I am from the U.S. and the prices in Russia are basically the prices in the U.S. from the 90s early 2000s. Even the stores look well stocked like how it use to look here back then but now everything is hardly stocked and prices are very high. A small bottle of Pepsi 20oZ that is usually in a cooler by checkout are $2.35 - $2.79 depending on what store it is and state. Mine is the $2.35. They use to be a $1.25 and 2 liter is $2.75 around me. Back then it was $0.98 in 2000s for a 2 liter. Coke products are around $0.05 - $0.10 more than Pepsi products. I like watching your videos and seeing how Russia is like there.

Был прилавок с рыбой и еще молочка с Истры, но далее на меня накатила очень приятная продавщица, чуть ли не запихивая мне в рот все что она продает, так что я от туда убежала.)

    People pay for convenience if they can afford it. Heinz costs more but the packet is easier to open and use. The Belarus brand would likely be cut open and transferred to another container. A bit of an inconvenience but a cost saver. There may be a brand or taste preference, but sometimes that comes in second to cost or convenience.

    33:00 That's true, Russel. I live in a town in three hundred kilometers of Moscow, we have quite many supermarkets with self checkouts, but there is always a small number of people that actually use them. Elderly people are especially afraid of them. I think that's because they don't trust new modern technologies and prefer to have cashiers to help them with paying for their goods as they're used to.

    Usage of self-checkouts in Russia depends on the store audience, I think. Large supermarkets and hypermarkets are targeted mostly to modern-minded middle age and young people who are more familiar with innovations like self-checkouts. But discounters, I think, are mostly for traditionally-oriented and elder/retired people, they prefer regular checkouts with a cashier.

    Living in Arizona most people bring their pests into a grocery store in the summer as it gets too hot to leave your pet in an inclosed car when it's 110 degrees F outside. I don't know if there is a limit on the size of the dogs as I've seen some pretty big dogs in stores here. I have also seen booties on dog paws to keep their paws from burning on the hot pavement outside.

    Russell you go to a lot of stores in Russia that are just opening, here in England there are not a lot of food store that are just opening, we here in England have the pound shop but there is not a lot of this kind of store opening all the time, in fact there are only two small supermarkets where I live and they know it, they charge the highest prices that they can get out of the customer because there is no competition and it is only a working class area if you have forgot to bring your own bags with you and you want a plastic bag they will charge you nearly a pound to buy a plastic bag off the store. All the best to you Russell.

      in the 90s we had many oligarchs who monopolised markets, but now even those oligarchs who stayed are forced to compete, times changed. So every market has our own produced food, Russia has more than enough, but markets add very big amount of products from different countries to expend the range in order to attract clients. I suppose we came to the point when our producers start ivent their own unique products in the same goals. Moscow is such big that no matter what you sell somebody will buy it, but in the same time the quality is very important for Russians, we don't buy garbage or unhelthy food. I know one American who imported meet from England to Russia, about 15 years ago, then he decided to produce cheap meet from soybeans to sell it with more profit. As results he gone bunkrupt, no Russian will eat meet made of soy. Anywahy big chains can't get out of Moscow and other big cities more money than they already get, so they started to open markets in the suburbs. For example I have a dacha 60km away from Moscow, 3 years ago, only one local private shop there but then one day whole 3 supermarkets opened there during the summertime.

HOWEVER, most places seem to allow my two small dogs, even in a shopping cart, although we have been kicked out a few times. I see a quite a few small dogs in stores these days. 10 years ago and before?? Hardly ever. Once again, I noticed the Burger King cannot be sanctioned. Only God Himself can sanction The King :):).
