- 0:39Speaker 2: Never thought of that.
- 0:41Speaker 3: You don't give it a little at least a little
- 0:42Speaker 3: prints you can? Yeah, you know you have to open
- 0:45Speaker 3: a can of beans.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Oh you know, maybe Coco does. I don't open anything. Oh,
- 0:52Speaker 2: I don't know in the kitchen.

- 0:57Speaker 2: Let me wait, let me get some grocery store beyond. Okay, good, yes,
- 1:01Speaker 2: we do this at the mood. All right, all right,
- 1:02Speaker 2: we're in the grocery store.
- 1:03Speaker 3: We're in the grocery clean your cans, clean your cans
- 1:08Speaker 3: pretty recently.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Really.
- 1:09Speaker 3: They also say, you know, your green leaf let Us.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Sometimes you get it prepackaged and they've cleaned it for you,
- 1:15Speaker 3: full of spiders and various other insects that we clean.
- 1:18Speaker 3: We're pretty sure we got them all. I always do
- 1:21Speaker 3: another rinse of those guys. Yeah, you know when they
- 1:25Speaker 3: prepare the stuff and they chop it up and you.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Should still wash it. And if you bought a head
- 1:29Speaker 2: let us.
- 1:30Speaker 3: According to this person, yes, everything in our bakery comes
- 1:33Speaker 3: in frozen. Even the few things we actually do bake
- 1:36Speaker 3: in store come in as frozen dough. First, they're not
- 1:39Speaker 3: really a bakery back there.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Do you like these background sound effects or no?
- 1:44Speaker 3: I like them?
- 1:45Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'm an audi right now.
- 1:47Speaker 3: I'm like always at the grocery store, so it just
- 1:49Speaker 3: feels normal. Individual Slices of cake in the bakery are
- 1:52Speaker 3: often from a cake that's already expired.
- 1:55Speaker 2: What m hm Did they tell you that?
- 1:59Speaker 3: They don't tell you that. No, no, no. If you
- 2:01Speaker 3: give the cashier anything to put back that's frozen, it's
- 2:04Speaker 3: one hundred percent going in the trash. Maybe that's safer
- 2:09Speaker 3: for us, I don't know. Wastel like if you're a
- 2:12Speaker 3: checkout yeah, and you're like, oh, I don't.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Want that, they don't take it back freeze.
- 2:16Speaker 3: They're gonna check it. Most grocery stores have bad rodent problems.
- 2:21Speaker 2: You know, it kind of makes sense. I didn't want
- 2:24Speaker 2: to hear it, but it makes it.
- 2:25Speaker 3: It does make sense because there is all around them. Yeah,
- 2:28Speaker 3: the store is just disgusting. Clean everything when you get home.
- 2:32Speaker 3: That people play it, pay to clean after closing, don't
- 2:35Speaker 3: care and are truly trying to get home as quickly
- 2:37Speaker 3: as possible.
- 2:39Speaker 2: The things we were doing during COVID we should still do, yeah, I.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Guess wipe everything down. A good portion of whitefish filets
- 2:48Speaker 3: come to us with at least one worm colt hurled
- 2:52Speaker 3: up in them. We do our best to notice them
- 2:54Speaker 3: and remove them, but sometimes they go unnoticed. The single
- 2:58Speaker 3: most profitable item in the grocery store are bags of
- 3:01Speaker 3: ice and loafs of bread from the bakery. I says
- 3:04Speaker 3: of one hundred percent markup. Bakery bread ninety percent markup.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Wait ice has a big markup.
- 3:10Speaker 3: One hundred percent markup, Like what does it cost them
- 3:12Speaker 3: to make ice or to buy a bag of ice?
- 3:15Speaker 2: Right?
- 3:15Speaker 3: And bakery bread ninety percent markup.
- 3:18Speaker 1: So you're saying, like to be in the ice business
- 3:20Speaker 1: would be profitable.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Yeah, get into the ice business.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Ice.
- 3:25Speaker 3: We're talking ice cubes. That's the only thing we're mentioning here,
- 3:30Speaker 3: right as cashiers were trained not to stop shoplifters. We
- 3:33Speaker 3: could literally watch you carry something out of the store
- 3:36Speaker 3: and can't run after you or tell you to stop.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Wow.
- 3:39Speaker 3: And finally they said they hate it when customers come
- 3:42Speaker 3: in with Friday Friday pleasantries, like so glad it's Friday.
