It’s a holiday, so everything should be closed, right? Wrong. The fridge is completely empty, except for that jar of pickles from 2019 and a half-empty bottle of ketchup. Suddenly, your grand plan of a lazy barbecue feels more like a desperate scavenger hunt.
You roll over and check your phone. A quick search confirms it: Shoprite is open. It’s like finding a single working gas station in a zombie apocalypse. You let out a sigh of relief that’s part groan, part gratitude.
Why We Always End Up There
Let’s be honest, we all have that one friend who says, “I’m just going to grab a few things.” That friend is a liar. You arrive at the parking lot, and it’s surprisingly full. It’s a gathering of the unprepared, a congregation of people who also forgot to buy buns.
Inside, the vibe is unique. It’s not a normal Tuesday; it’s a holiday shift. The air smells like roasted chickens and collective regret. You spot a dad in a faded polo shirt, pushing a cart with a dazed look, like he’s just been asked to solve a calculus problem.
You grab a cart with a wobbly wheel—because it’s tradition. It clatters like a shopping cart ghost from a haunted supermarket. You make a beeline for the meat section, hoping against hope that a decent steak survives the morning rush.
