edit: “wheres Lidl” “where where’s piggly wiggly” “where’s HEB” THERES ONLY 12 SLOTS THATS WHY I PUT A “Something Else” OPTION!!!! /lh

another edit: I’m not saying that publix is affordable or practical (i completely agree, it’s fucking expensive) i just said it was the best. Also pub subs are fire.

Suffering from the American Dream but as in I want to see Walmart. I want to walk in Walmart. I want to drive on a highway. I want to buy from Walmart

Heads up for anyone shopping at walmart.

The tl;dr is that walmart has started embedding codes that are “invisible to the human eye” on product packaging (specifically their store brands), which makes it easier be detected at self-checkout machines.

To make it harder for people to pretend to scan things, though they're also framing it as making it easier and quicker to scan because you don't have to hunt for the barcode.

Tbh it sounds like it's going to be a hassle, I can see this making things scan multiple times a LOT if you're not particularly fast at sliding things across the scanner, which will lead to longer waits as you have to wait for their one overworked attendant to come over and punch in a release code and remove the duplicate items.

Sorry for the obscure source, there were others, but the links refused to format right on tumblr. You can search the headline to find them, but they're basically all exactly the same.

I am constantly getting the GG walmart ad and I want to believe it's because the algorithm knows I'm a GG girlie but the real reason is I am a Walmart girlie

Ya girl is a Walmart plus member whoops!!!

i really think physical store chains should NOT be closing at such a fast rate, because then people will be losing experiences, and memories, and access to things they need IN PERSON AND NOT ONLINE, and most importantly jobs.

What Do You Mean Were Going Grocery Shopping Too

You know, a bonus to designing the oc is that other people will drawn them in the scenarios you share! I know your lore really made me excited to see your little fella ^^) it's so nice to encounter someone eho likes SDV in the wild and your world building makes me want to boot up my computer and deal with the lag to see everyone again. I do have to wonder though, what's your take on how the valley feels about JojaMart? It seems like it replaces extensions on the Vally's magic if you fund it.

TRUE…U ARE SO RIGHT!!! Luckily I have a small little ref sheet for him already made heehee. But ill post it on my sdv blog (when i make it). I can put it here too but ill do that under a readmore 😌

Also. U are so sweet 😭 I am so sorry ur game is too laggy to play but i am touched that my little bit of lore is enough for u to want to brave through that mess anyway LMAO

FIRST OF ALL….here is my boy….

His name is June and ive since tweaked some stuff about him. You dont need to know much about him, just that hes a bit of a cryptid among the town for almost two years before townspeople start interacting w him on their own volition. His best friends are Marnie, Kent, and Caroline, and he is really cool w Willy, Linus, and Marlon (old men gang rise up). Also romances Shane which is funny to Me bc whenever shane gets a male farmer to romance i am constantly rotating this image of vincent getting upset and saying ‘gee jas how come YOU get two cool godfathers’

To answer ur question about Jojamart; i feel like it truly wouldnt mess with the balance of magic in the valley. Magic is powerful BUT. It is adaptive. The Junimos harness the magic of the valley to fix things in the broken down community center, but if someone else came along and fixed it for them, well thats one less thing the magic of the valley is used for. Theres plenty of talented people in the valley that dont need magic to get things done 😉 (Robin my beloved)

But i do think jojamart is a big indicator that something is amiss with the town. I think it is a common idea to believe that jojamart is like. Evil. And like. Its totally a soulless corporation, but i think its filling a very specific Need of this town. Pelican town has some very skilled laborers that sell their work and services to help provide not just for themselves, but FOR pelican town; if that still leaves people unable to pay rent/mortgage or groceries, then people will absolutely swoop in and offer ‘solutions’.

I have more Thots but basically……magic is powerful, but it cant do anything on its own. Its utilized by magical beings to make tangible change in the world. But humans are capable of making real and tangible change without the use of magic. Jojamart says ‘here, give me money and time and ill fix this stuff 😉’ and that is not anymore different than Robin, Clint, the junimos, etc saying ‘give me some money and time and i can do this thing for u 😉’. Jojamart is like. Bad. But bad in the same way Pierre owning the only grocery store in town wo employing anyone is bad, and how Lewis is okay with all of this Mess. Its indicative of a bigger problem in the valley that magic cant really fix

I don't know how rich people aren't buying people shit constantly

[captainkirkk]

Still obsessed with the tags on the 'anti-hero Tim killing the Joker' post, so do you have any fic recs where some rando just, accidentally runs the Joker over, or someone's 'I have lived in Gotham my whole life and you just snuck up on me while I was alone' instinct kicked in. Y'know, where some citizen accidentally murks the Joker?

I don't, but I'm very interested in whether these actually exist

Congratulations, Kane! You've successfully determined a grocery store was from the UK by looking at one small section of the shelf and only zooming in and looking for the currency symbol on the price tags after you figured it was from the UK.

Ooooookay so not sure im gonna keep going to walmart to get my groceries unless absolutely necessary cuz the one closest to my house is awful

Its fucking massive. The app tells you the wrong aisles for everything. And there were way too many fucking people. Not a fan.

You substituted my tofu with... the exact same tofu??

What does this MEAN, Walmart

[anotherpapercut]

I was shopping at the surplus/damaged goods grocery store bc shits cheap as hell and I bought quite a bit of stuff but the cashier has to manually input the price of each item and she rang me up and said "$109...." and there was a moment where me and her and the guy behind me just stared at the total in shock and horror and then she went "there's no way that's correct" and fixed it but I seriously almost passed out when she said that
