4. Before we start,
I’d like to clarify that this is my
favourite grocery shop, where I
spend hours every month. I really
enjoy both the quality of the food
and the organization of the goods.
Above all, before taking this Class,
I was sure I knew everything
about this store.
See how I was wrong…
5. Obsessive presence
To start with, there’s plenty of
barbecue charcoal, despite we
are in the most rainy season.
More surprisingly, you find it
in combination with other
related goods: in this case for
picnic, in two other cases with
miscellaneous or vegetables
(??!!).
I knew only one place where I
am used to getting it when I
need it.
DOUBT: are they trying to
empty the warehouse or is
their business model to
provide customers with
charcoal???
6. Good marketing
Cheese in sale is much more
attractive if matched with the
right wine.
I never found a very good
cheese here, but those
bottles almost convinced me
to give them a new chance.
DOUBT: is this the first time
they put some wine bottles
in the display? I don’t think
so, maybe I took for granted
that this kind of product is
too cheap for my taste and
did not even notice it. Why is
it then that I now noticed it?
Is it because I am trying to
see as if it were the first
time?
7. For giants only
Looking for something
strange in the ceiling, I
realized that meat shelves
have large headings no one
could ever see because of
their height.
Furthermore, this heading
does not completely
correspond to the kind of
meat in the shelves
underneath.
DOUBT: a design mistake?
8. We are safe!
I knew there must be fire
extinguishers and nozzles
somewhere!!!
Since I must have run into
them several times, why is it
that I’ve never noticed them
before?
DOUBT: am I a “real” man? *
* If you have never read
“Men come from Mars…” you
can’t understand
9. …and there was light
Simply impressive. I
would not have believed it
if I hadn’t seen it with my
own eyes.
DOUBT: none, I’m still
shocked
10. MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED!
I eventually found what
I’d been seeking for ages:
my favorite barbecue
spices!!!
Why is such a good
quality product confined
in a remote position???
DOUBT: no doubts, this
achievement alone is
worth the time I spent in
the store; and with this
picture in my hand, I will
never forget this place!
