Another trick to lure a person in is to use thumbnails that attract your curiosity. Then they will watch the whole video only to see there was never any soda machine explanation in it. 🙄😐
Plus half the things shown in the video are not true and the other half are things people already know. So I may give this video a thumbs down when I finish.
@@petenielsen6683 Agree. Many now will do almost anything for that thumbs up or sub. I guess I'm to out of touch with society because I will never fake somthing , white lie or other just to get people's approval. I just don't need likes that bad. 🙄 I have lived just fine without them this far and I always will. 👍
At the Korean grocery store I shop at (Galleria Market) has a food court so before I go shopping I eat lunch there. In Southern California most of the mainstream grocery stores have a deli, but no dedicated place to sit and eat apart from Whole Foods of course.
Huh, I always thought the candy was at the checkout area so that kids could drive their parents crazy since this is exactly where we have to stand still for a bit. Actually I used to tell mine that if they didn't drive me crazy through the store they could pick out two items each, worked fairly well 🤣
Most soda company’s have requirements in their contracts that certain eateries must offer free refills , they in turn get bulk priced syrup boxes , and why would a soda company want you to be addicted to caffeine? This is the idea. So if you are at a larger food chain and there are “ no refills “ , mention it to the vendor. I’ve seen Pepsi pull machines because of it in a store in the middle of lunch.
I have to correct you on one thing, the "REAL" reason as to why things like single candy bars, 20oz sodas, and single serve snacks are at the cash registers is "NOT" so that the customers will be more likely to purchase them when getting to the register, it's to prevent shoplifters from eating/drinking them on the sales floor and throwing the wrappers/bottles back on the shelf, it's to deter shoplifting since these items are more likely to be stolen if placed deeper in the aisles
Of course the samples are there to encourage you to buy that product! This is not a scam, it's common sense! It's a form of advertising. Advertising is designed to get you to buy stuff. Sometimes you discover things you didn't know anything about and decide to take that home with you. No one is forcing you to purchase the sampled product.
I don't believe the drink refills thing. The only places I have been to w/o free refills are small independent restaurants. Most of the chains get the refill cost upfront. A fountain soft drink is ridiculously cheap for the seller. People paying $2 or more for a drink at the drive through, a drink that will never be refilled, more than cover the 1 guy who dines in and drinks a gal of soda. Heck, the $2 probably covers more than the gal.
When going shopping, it helps to have tunnel vision. I write a shopping list of what I need before I leave the house and in the store, I ignore everything that is not on that list.
If the sampled product is comparable with something I wanted to buy anyway, for example a different brand than I usually buy, I buy it. Because the people doing this shtty job usually do not earn a lot of money and they only do this to have a little extra income.
I’ll sample it, step out to my car, change my shirt, put on a fake mustache, go back in the store and then sample it again, step back out and put a hat and sunglasses on for my next sample, repeat the process a few times (with elevator shoes and disguised voices to add to keep it effective) and shortly I’ve had a healthy filling meal on a budget! Ya do what ya gotta do in this economy.
@@duudsuufd I don't believe they work on commission. They get paid either way. While it's true that it's a way for a product to break big, the store loves the samples being offered too. It attracts customers and more importantly hungry impulse shoppers and KIDS!
thank goodness for drive up and go. I choose what I need/want, order it. Drive up, get my stuff and go. No temptation to buy crap I didn't need, no free samples, no fighting will power, no buying $600 worth of crap I wasn't planning on.
You should do a story on counterproductive moves by companies. We see the best parking spots saved for people that don't even get out of the car, discouraging people to want to shop inside where the store could benefit from impulse shopping. A similar thing is pre-pay gas. If I pull my card for gas, I'm less inclined to go inside where I might buy a candy car or drink. I think some menus are harmful to sales. Because there are many people that have trouble with English, they use more pictures, meaning you see less listed items which causes me frustration and a desire to buy less not knowing what my favorite items cost. Also, as I don't have a cell, I avoid Target where I know there best sales are on cartwheel that I can't access, so I avoid them for stores that provide discounts for everyone.
ANOTHER tactic used by supermarkets is to move products around as to prevent customers to (what we call in Britain) bot shopping. People who go into a store with a list where they know where all the products are and force them to look at different stuff.
Actually groceries are categorized and grouped by an “OLD ORDER BOOK” that use to be a paper order (actual book) that was sent to a store every week or several times a week-“ONLY ONE ORDER BOOK FOR THE ENTIRE STORE” for every truck load of groceries. When every order had to be done in pencil/special markers and then called(phoned) into the warehouse before you could get your order, so that every “stocker” was responsible for a certain section of the grocery store had to make their own order--it had to be made as simple a process as possible. The order book also gave the case “cost” and depending on your store’s policy you figured out how much an item cost. If you can remember or find a copy of an old paper grocery order book-- you can most often find the item that you are looking for in any US grocery store.
A group of us went there recently for their 2for2 breakfast special for $5.00. We all ordered coffee not realizing it was $3.29 cents a cup. The cups were very small too.
When I was at college I did a research paper on the grocery industry, and read a lot of their business magazines. I remember on recommendation to have something baking at peak business hours, because this would entice people to purchase. I worked professionally as a baker and knew this would work.
@Denise Eulert that's good for you. You will encounter many things that you did not expect in your life, just like that you got an idea how to increase your customers, Keep safe always Denise hope i see you on the next uploads!!❤️🤍👍
When I was 12 I once went to a McDonald's on a road trip somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania. Turnpike something. The fries had so much salt I could barely eat them and they not only had no free refills on drinks, but the drinks were severely overpriced. Even though I wasn't paying for any of this I noticed the scam for what it was and knew they only got away with it because, being along a major highway stop, they didn't expect repeat business anyway. Suffice to say we never returned on subsequent trips through the area.
@@jsivco3sivco785 The larger issue for me wasn't the price. It was the fact that they used excessive salt to make you NEED to drink more than you otherwise would.
I've never understood why so many people get duped by these tactics, especially considering the vast majority of people have worked in grocery or retail at some point. When you work in these places, you're literally told about the tactics and are expected to adhere to them at all times. Don't even get me started on retail jobs that require you to badger customers with add-ons. I worked for three places like that and I hated every moment. As a customer myself, I know d*mn well that I don't want to get hounded at checkout when all I wanna do is pay and leave. But we were forced to do it, or else we'd get written up or even terminated. I know a lot of you can relate to those micromanaging bosses that would peak their heads around corners to make sure you're asking a customer if they want to add a candy bar to their order for no effing reason. 😩 Don't fall for this crap, people, and don't get angry at the employee. Trust me, they hate doing it. Back on track, these mind tricks should be easy to understand, especially when food is involved. Obviously the places wanna make more money, so a person should walk in with the expectation that that's the company's end goal for every customer. I was raised to be frugal, albeit by a woman who trusts no one, so I'm unable to fall for corporate tricks unless I'm not completely coherent. I'd also like to add that it's completely okay to treat yourself when you're out grocery shopping. Just make sure that the treat is on a good sale. If it's not, find an alternative that is. You deserve treats, but you shouldn't have to break the bank to get them. :)
Thanks! I always wanted to walk into a grocery store to be greeted by the foul smell of rotten garbage, or go on a date to a fancy restaurant only to be given ear damage by maximum-volume heavy metal, (and don’t forget those gold ol’ eye ache-inducing lights!) Oh and I hate free food. My money is just burning a hole in my pocket! I also hate candy bars so much, that I want them to be less likely to be sold by making them less visible, so there’s less demand! In fact, I hate everything so much that I want the companies that provide everything to suffer! To speak on behalf of everyone, we don’t like walking into a restaurant and finding an item with ingredients we like. It’s the worst!
This is what they do in my area, They take a small thin slice of Avacado and put it on a burger and call it a California burger and charge $2 more for it.
On the 10 for 10. In some areas if you need to buy 10 to get the discount, it will have to tell or show it on the tag. It will say something like ' must purchase stated quantity to receive discount '.
So many of these tactics are used by drug dealers specifically the " first ones free" yeah its actually designed to get you hooked ,also that first "free" sample is the only portion you're ever going to get that isn't cut to the point you barely get high. Nothing makes me happier than getting that "free" one and seeing that dealer a few weeks later and them angrily asking " aye why u ain't never call me for more" and I say uhh cause I was good with the free one.. :)))
So here in India we knew most of this, Infact its very rare for people to buy useless things here unless they have a kid with them (then it can get all sorts of crazy) also the free refill system is so out of this world for me i cant even begin to comprehend how you can get free coffee or cola or ice tea, the only thing restaurants will give free here is water and even then some places will only sell mineral water bottles so you have to pay for that as well
I too always read the small print however, I do it just to get a laugh, they can be and usually are so ridiculous that it makes me laugh. Most of these “small print” things are on packaged, processed garbage foods and since I buy nothing but whole, real foods, it is not an issue for our family. Junk, or garbage food is the devils work (garbage) - who needs it, in reality, no on, ever! Have a great day and enjoy!
That's not being cheap, it's being economical! I always read the price per kilo and here in the UK Tesco have introduced a Clubcard holder price that is shown larger in print than the normal price, looks good but read the small print on the shelf! Was in a shop earlier and the cost of a single Mars Bar was 82p, a 4 pack £1... Okay the single item was 80 grammes and the multipack were only 60 grammes but do the math?!
Big national restaurant chains that have bean counters, board members, and share holders have these little subtle tricks everywhere, but little local yokel places menus tend to be straight forward and their specials are on a board at the entrance with the prices listed. Costco is a drunken orgy of combat shopping, gluttony, consumption and waste. That being said, they know very well how to do business.
Don’t ask if u can have refills cause their obviously gonna say no. And also if ur at a McDonald’s that makes u pay for the food first before it gets delivered then just refill it and u won’t get charged
I loved sampler days at the grocery stores back in the day. I got pretty good at coming out of there with a full meal in me, without buying what they were sampling out. :D
As a diabetic, I avoid sugary sodas. At the cashier order taking counter of popular fastfood restos, they will ask " what is your drink?" more than 2 times loudly. The tumbler of that soda is 35% cracked ice and 45% water. And the cost of the syrup concentrate is less than 15% of the price.
I have been eating lunch at Checkers for over 10 years. I always order a Deep sea double with a large diet Coke with no ice. ( The drink is always cold anyway and I want to drink Die Coke and not melted ice. I go on line and take the satisfaction survey which gets me a fee sandwich if I buy the large Coke. My total cost is $2.88 instead of $7.15 without the coupon. Haw can you beat that?
Lol in my supermarket we have a fish stand in front of the entrance and I'm always so tempted to buy fish when I start and end shopping. In the back of the store is the bread and sandwiches/ donuts etc never really grabs me.
Music in grocery stores. Depending on when or what time of the day it is, - the genre of music will be very different. The reason is obvious as is the effort. The grocery store is very well planned out. The whole idea and effort is to get you to spend your money. 'Every' single tiny - seemingly insignif- icant thing is very well planned. People seem to forget that it is a business.
Me neither. And I don't buy any of the junk that they put at the check outs. Guess my will power muscle doesn't get worn out like all the other sheep's do, lol.
While watching this I have filled my stomach with blended two handfuls of home grown, today picked, raspberries, banana and kefir with a bit of strawberry syrup for extra sweetness. I know what I go to the shop for and I won't be made to buy stuff I don't want to buy. I might buy more than I planned, but that is OK, it is things I would eventually buy anyway at some point. Even if I wasn't aware all those tactics, they didn't scam me if I didn't buy any of that. You won't find chocolates or most junk in my trolley and I tend to go for supermarket's own brand which is cheaper. No way I am going to pay 2-3x more for a branded item, unless it is unique and there aren't many like that that I couldn't live without. So when I see the programs when families are asking for help to cut their grocery shopping I don't understand why they cannot figure it out themselves? They are well off, meaning they have a higher education most of the time, they aren't stupid... how they cannot make it by themselves?
In the UK legislation was passed in 2021 (The Food (Promotion and Placement) (England) Regulations 2021)prevent stores from putting sweets, chocolate and crisps next to the cash register. The aim was to assist with addressing obesity. Kids in line with treats right in their faces nag their parents to buy, and the parents buy to shut them up. And adults, they just get tempted!
@Ted G Ottinger It's important to understand that businesses exist to sell their products or services, and marketing strategies such as offering samples are designed to create awareness and attract customers. While it's true that samples are intended to entice customers to make a purchase, it's ultimately the customer's decision whether or not to buy. 😁
Another great thing about those kiosks - You can place your order for the item you want they way you like it without having to repeat yourself 10 times and having it turn into a 15 minute ordeal. Believe me more than once i had to explain that a hamburger is like a cheeseburger but there is no cheese on it to the clueless person behind the counter.
ok in the thumbnail it shows both Pepsi and Coke in the same machine that would never happen unless you are at a gas station that has a one of those multiple flavor machines.
You can have one Pepsi product on Coke equipment and one Coke product on Pepsi equipment…….ie, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, 7 Up, or even RC……etc…you just won’t qualify for the marketing money…..I had them on my equipment for 25 years……Coke and Pepsi…..
@@mooseandsquirrel9887 I expect almost everyone takes the marketing money. I only remember being in 1 restaurant in my 49 year life that had both but one of the products were in cans and no free refills. This was a pizza shop and you could order from the fountain or get something out of the cooler but could not purchase a 2L bottle from the cooler those were take out only. With that said I don't often leave Pennsylvania.
@@drescherjm Hi…..typically a portion of the marketing money goes toward the leasing of the machine……my locations had them both but I was only allowed one each of the competition, as I didn’t want to lose a customer due to not having a favorite beverage……
In China at KFC’s, Burger King’s and at McDonald’s there are still the self serve kiosks but now everybody just uses their smartphones to scan a QR-code found printed and stocked to every table with leads you to a menu in your phone.
No grocery store I go to has the bakery in the front. They are always in the back in most. Two are in the middle left. They do that to make you have to walk through the store to get there with hopes if impulse buys.
As for free samples, there aren't many these days. I've eaten free samples, and I'm not compelled to buy the item. I don't like spending a lot of time grocery shopping or shopping at all, I know what I want and I stick to the items on my list. I must be an odd person, I don't buy the most expensive items on a menu, I usually know what I want before i go to the restaurant.
I'm a chef 100% on the special it's usually our best ingredients to hook the customer and I watched a video the other day can't remember what RUclipsr it was but it was about the lies the restaurants tell you and it said that the special is usually the ingredients that they're about to throw out well I definitely gave them my two cents of information and told them how wrong they are. And is why I'm saying yup you nailed it.
@Gary Leonard Teacher It's not uncommon for some fast-food restaurants, including McDonald's, to play loud and upbeat music to encourage faster customer turnover. The idea behind this strategy is to create an energetic and dynamic atmosphere that motivates customers to finish their meals quickly and leave, making space for new customers to come in. 🎶
I have never once bought something that I got a free sample for. 90% of the time the free samples were for expensive items or things I just didn't want.
At the Tesco near my home, the bakery is nowhere near the entrance. In fact, it is at the far end from the entrance. In one corner right next to the fish and meat.
I've noticed that the end of the diaper/baby supplies aisle has this scent of old peed up diapers. Smells like those old diaper pails. So the scent biz doesn't surprise me.
They clipped me in Vegas for $2 a refill on cokes with some crappy tough lobster tail. $18 worth of sugar water! Fast food restaurants are empty today compared with 40 years ago. How come a Big Mac is $4 when it has only one piece of cheese with two meat patties, yet two double cheese burgers cost $4 and have 4 meat patties and 4 pieces of cheese; no 3 part bun, but 4 parts!? Watch for the new "plant based" craze.
Avocados suck. My Mother and Step-Father where on an avocado kick years back. Mom was also on a raison binge. She put them in or on everything. Spaghetti, hash browns, tossed salad, meatloaf, and so forth.
@@BabbleTop yeah- go in get our veggies- our luncheons for our son- (Hillshire because it is least chemicals) yogurts, eggs, special milks(For Life- and soy- almonds) pet foods- and a sundry of "ingredients" for meals- No crap no waste
In the grocery store we usually shop at the bakery and the meat and deli are all along one of the short sides, and the entrances are approximately in the middle of the long side. No freshly baked bread smells when you enter that store, possibly from the café though which is near one of the entrances The lightning at burger joints here in my country is usually relatively soft, and Burger King has music playing. It may not be fine dining, but fast food places here offer a pretty good eating experience (even though the food lefts a bit to be desired)
I hate it when I open the cupboard and get assaulted by MnM's! That's why I now carry a MAP Gas torch when I go to said. I'll melt the buggers if they try anything.
Too bad. These tricks never work on me since I always have a shopping list and my phone to distract me from these tricks. Also I always bring just enough cash
For Once and For All Please Nobody 'Steps Foot' ANYWHERE. People 'Set Foot' on the stairs, into a fast food joint etc etc. It means 'To set your foot onto or into a place'. Dislike somewhere? "I would never SET FOOT' there.

I like the kiosk because I can get exactly what I want without having to explain it to someone. They don’t always get it.
And when ya tell em what ya want you get asked multiple times what did ya want on that again
Makes for huge profits, because they no longer have to pay people to do the job.

As a customer myself, I know d*mn well that I don't want to get hounded at checkout when all I wanna do is pay and leave. But we were forced to do it, or else we'd get written up or even terminated. I know a lot of you can relate to those micromanaging bosses that would peak their heads around corners to make sure you're asking a customer if they want to add a candy bar to their order for no effing reason. 😩 Don't fall for this crap, people, and don't get angry at the employee. Trust me, they hate doing it.
Back on track, these mind tricks should be easy to understand, especially when food is involved. Obviously the places wanna make more money, so a person should walk in with the expectation that that's the company's end goal for every customer. I was raised to be frugal, albeit by a woman who trusts no one, so I'm unable to fall for corporate tricks unless I'm not completely coherent.
I'd also like to add that it's completely okay to treat yourself when you're out grocery shopping. Just make sure that the treat is on a good sale. If it's not, find an alternative that is. You deserve treats, but you shouldn't have to break the bank to get them. :)
Thanks! I always wanted to walk into a grocery store to be greeted by the foul smell of rotten garbage, or go on a date to a fancy restaurant only to be given ear damage by maximum-volume heavy metal, (and don’t forget those gold ol’ eye ache-inducing lights!) Oh and I hate free food. My money is just burning a hole in my pocket! I also hate candy bars so much, that I want them to be less likely to be sold by making them less visible, so there’s less demand! In fact, I hate everything so much that I want the companies that provide everything to suffer! To speak on behalf of everyone, we don’t like walking into a restaurant and finding an item with ingredients we like. It’s the worst!
This is what they do in my area, They take a small thin slice of
Avacado and put it on a burger and call it a California burger
and charge $2 more for it.
On the 10 for 10. In some areas if you need to buy 10 to get the discount, it will have to tell or show it on the tag. It will say something like ' must purchase stated quantity to receive discount '.
So many of these tactics are used by drug dealers specifically the " first ones free" yeah its actually designed to get you hooked ,also that first "free" sample is the only portion you're ever going to get that isn't cut to the point you barely get high. Nothing makes me happier than getting that "free" one and seeing that dealer a few weeks later and them angrily asking " aye why u ain't never call me for more" and I say uhh cause I was good with the free one.. :)))
ive never experienced dealers giving away free drugs maybe just you look like you cant afford the drugs
@@psycloneranger2279 How very dare you, internet turd.
So here in India we knew most of this, Infact its very rare for people to buy useless things here unless they have a kid with them (then it can get all sorts of crazy) also the free refill system is so out of this world for me i cant even begin to comprehend how you can get free coffee or cola or ice tea, the only thing restaurants will give free here is water and even then some places will only sell mineral water bottles so you have to pay for that as well
I'm THAT cheap that I ALWAYS read the tiny print on the sale tag to make sure that I DON'T need to buy the amount to get the sale price🤣
I too always read the small print however, I do it just to get a laugh, they can be and usually are so ridiculous that it makes me laugh. Most of these “small print” things are on packaged, processed garbage foods and since I buy nothing but whole, real foods, it is not an issue for our family. Junk, or garbage food is the devils work (garbage) - who needs it, in reality, no on, ever! Have a great day and enjoy!
That's not being cheap, it's being economical! I always read the price per kilo and here in the UK Tesco have introduced a Clubcard holder price that is shown larger in print than the normal price, looks good but read the small print on the shelf! Was in a shop earlier and the cost of a single Mars Bar was 82p, a 4 pack £1... Okay the single item was 80 grammes and the multipack were only 60 grammes but do the math?!
I would say conservative with your money, and someone, who doesn't like the wool pull over their eyes :)
Grocery stores always frown upon me because I take too long for very little stuff
Not all grocery stores place their bakeries near the front. VONS in SoCal, they placed theirs at the back left corner.
It’s insane when a 2 cheeseburger meal with small fries and drink went from roughly 3 dollars to nearly 8 dollars practically overnight
Thank Joe biden
Seriously...I got a medium Wendy's meal a few weeks ago and after tax it was over ten dollars.
@@bryanbrett8943 Thanks greedy companies who know they won’t be blamed.
Big national restaurant chains that have bean counters, board members, and share holders have these little subtle tricks everywhere, but little local yokel places menus tend to be straight forward and their specials are on a board at the entrance with the prices listed.
Costco is a drunken orgy of combat shopping, gluttony, consumption and waste. That being said, they know very well how to do business.
do you love Costco?
Yesss! Planning to spend $20 and ended up spending $120 ,truly horrendous 😫
those sneaky tactics🤣🤣🤣get me babble they can't pull the wool over Babble eyes👋👋👋👋
🤣🤣🤣 👋👋👋👋
I have never bought something because of Free Samples, and I've worked as a Food Demonstrator before.
I have, if there was a coupon offered along with it.
There are people who don't realize the samples are to make you want to buy the product? I've never thought they were doing it out of kindness.
Don’t ask if u can have refills cause their obviously gonna say no. And also if ur at a McDonald’s that makes u pay for the food first before it gets delivered then just refill it and u won’t get charged
How many times in my life that I’ve said “how convenient” to most of these things, I will never know 😂
Lol 😂
I loved sampler days at the grocery stores back in the day. I got pretty good at coming out of there with a full meal in me, without buying what they were sampling out. :D
Finesse on fleek 😏
As a diabetic, I avoid sugary sodas. At the cashier order taking counter of popular fastfood restos, they will ask " what is your drink?" more than 2 times loudly. The tumbler of that soda is 35% cracked ice and 45% water. And the cost of the syrup concentrate is less than 15% of the price.
I must be a business worst nightmare, im immune to all these tactics.
It’s been a while how are you babble top
I’m asking a more direct question to the person who runs this account how was your day
I have been eating lunch at Checkers for over 10 years. I always order a Deep sea double with a large diet Coke with no ice. ( The drink is always cold anyway and I want to drink
Die Coke and not melted ice. I go on line and take the satisfaction survey which gets me a fee sandwich if I buy the large Coke. My total cost is $2.88 instead of $7.15 without the coupon. Haw can you beat that?
I've been hit by the non-Free drink refill trick.
2:03 Ever heard of Hash Kitchen?
A grocery store manager's worst enemy? A customer with a list.
@jeffrey fisher hahahaha yes, the customers will be your worst enemy than your manager!! See you on the next upload bro😎🤍
Lol in my supermarket we have a fish stand in front of the entrance and I'm always so tempted to buy fish when I start and end shopping. In the back of the store is the bread and sandwiches/ donuts etc never really grabs me.
there is a old saying "if you have to ask for the price of a item... you usually cant afford it ant ways"
Nice to see Van Halen's "Good Enough" made the cut for this video in the Spaceballs scene.
Music in grocery stores.
Depending on when or what time of the day it
is, - the genre of music
will be very different. The reason is obvious as is the effort.
The grocery store is
very well planned out.
The whole idea and
effort is to get you to
spend your money.
'Every' single tiny -
seemingly insignif-
icant thing is very
well planned.
People seem to
forget that it is a
business.
Regarding kiosks: At some restaurants, the menu board is so hard to read, I appreciate the kiosks so I can actually see and read what is available.
Putting these items at checkout is a good point. Some skeezers come to the store to eat free
. That's retail theft !
That is so true! Who would know because they are all whipped!
😎
I have never bought anything that I got as a free sample of. Lol
Me neither. And I don't buy any of the junk that they put at the check outs. Guess my will power muscle doesn't get worn out like all the other sheep's do, lol.
While watching this I have filled my stomach with blended two handfuls of home grown, today picked, raspberries, banana and kefir with a bit of strawberry syrup for extra sweetness. I know what I go to the shop for and I won't be made to buy stuff I don't want to buy. I might buy more than I planned, but that is OK, it is things I would eventually buy anyway at some point. Even if I wasn't aware all those tactics, they didn't scam me if I didn't buy any of that. You won't find chocolates or most junk in my trolley and I tend to go for supermarket's own brand which is cheaper. No way I am going to pay 2-3x more for a branded item, unless it is unique and there aren't many like that that I couldn't live without. So when I see the programs when families are asking for help to cut their grocery shopping I don't understand why they cannot figure it out themselves? They are well off, meaning they have a higher education most of the time, they aren't stupid... how they cannot make it by themselves?
In the UK legislation was passed in 2021 (The Food (Promotion and Placement) (England) Regulations 2021)prevent stores from putting sweets, chocolate and crisps next to the cash register. The aim was to assist with addressing obesity. Kids in line with treats right in their faces nag their parents to buy, and the parents buy to shut them up. And adults, they just get tempted!
I hate those kiosks
The voice in every video sounds like a news reporter. It's amazing!
I've never seen anyone spend so much time explaining that samples are designed to make you buy something. And then act like it's some evil tactic.
@Ted G Ottinger It's important to understand that businesses exist to sell their products or services, and marketing strategies such as offering samples are designed to create awareness and attract customers. While it's true that samples are intended to entice customers to make a purchase, it's ultimately the customer's decision whether or not to buy. 😁
How dare these heartless corporations using psychology against us, and the suckers we be$$$$$$$$$$$🤔😵💫
Another great thing about those kiosks - You can place your order for the item you want they way you like it without having to repeat yourself 10 times and having it turn into a 15 minute ordeal.
Believe me more than once i had to explain that a hamburger is like a cheeseburger but there is no cheese on it to the clueless person behind the counter.
aaaaaaaand just ordered spaceballs on bluray. classic.
ok in the thumbnail it shows both Pepsi and Coke in the same machine that would never happen unless you are at a gas station that has a one of those multiple flavor machines.
Agreed, its rare that there is not an exclusive contract with Coke, Pepsi or RC Cola.
You can have one Pepsi product on Coke equipment and one Coke product on Pepsi equipment…….ie, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, 7 Up, or even RC……etc…you just won’t qualify for the marketing money…..I had them on my equipment for 25 years……Coke and Pepsi…..
@@mooseandsquirrel9887 I expect almost everyone takes the marketing money. I only remember being in 1 restaurant in my 49 year life that had both but one of the products were in cans and no free refills. This was a pizza shop and you could order from the fountain or get something out of the cooler but could not purchase a 2L bottle from the cooler those were take out only. With that said I don't often leave Pennsylvania.
@@drescherjm Hi…..typically a portion of the marketing money goes toward the leasing of the machine……my locations had them both but I was only allowed one each of the competition, as I didn’t want to lose a customer due to not having a favorite beverage……

In China at KFC’s, Burger King’s and at McDonald’s there are still the self serve kiosks but now everybody just uses their smartphones to scan a QR-code found printed and stocked to every table with leads you to a menu in your phone.
Spaceballs Is A Great Movie.
No grocery store I go to has the bakery in the front. They are always in the back in most. Two are in the middle left. They do that to make you have to walk through the store to get there with hopes if impulse buys.
The two grocery stores in my town that have bakeries have them at the front

As for free samples, there aren't many these days. I've eaten free samples, and I'm not compelled to buy the item. I don't like spending a lot of time grocery shopping or shopping at all, I know what I want and I stick to the items on my list. I must be an odd person, I don't buy the most expensive items on a menu, I usually know what I want before i go to the restaurant.
I give it 3 years and there won’t be cashiers in fast food any more just a kiosk machine, manager and the assembly line workers
I'm a chef 100% on the special it's usually our best ingredients to hook the customer and I watched a video the other day can't remember what RUclipsr it was but it was about the lies the restaurants tell you and it said that the special is usually the ingredients that they're about to throw out well I definitely gave them my two cents of information and told them how wrong they are. And is why I'm saying yup you nailed it.

McDo in the UK play loud annoying music to get customers out of the restaurant as quickly as possible in order to get a faster turnover of customers.
@Gary Leonard Teacher It's not uncommon for some fast-food restaurants, including McDonald's, to play loud and upbeat music to encourage faster customer turnover. The idea behind this strategy is to create an energetic and dynamic atmosphere that motivates customers to finish their meals quickly and leave, making space for new customers to come in. 🎶
There's an Asian market in our mall that has huge crates of full bodied fresh fish near the entrance. I never go in there.
I have never once bought something that I got a free sample for. 90% of the time the free samples were for expensive items or things I just didn't want.
for real?
At the Tesco near my home, the bakery is nowhere near the entrance. In fact, it is at the far end from the entrance. In one corner right next to the fish and meat.
I dont like the low lighting in a restaurant because I can see the menu very well and tje low lighting causes eye strain for me
I was told the lighting along with the decor was dark so you really couldn't see how rare or well done your steak was
This is true for chains, but I feel mom and pop stores are honest.
Thanks for sharing 😊🦝👽☺️🙏🏼
I've noticed that the end of the diaper/baby supplies aisle has this scent of old peed up diapers. Smells like those old diaper pails. So the scent biz doesn't surprise me.
at subway,i say i want just water but the water and lemonade are same thingy..push for water,i dont push so i can get lemonade instead,LOL
So weird LOL 😂 @Eric Kort😜😊
They clipped me in Vegas for $2 a refill on cokes with some crappy tough lobster tail. $18 worth of sugar water! Fast food restaurants are empty today compared with 40 years ago. How come a Big Mac is $4 when it has only one piece of cheese with two meat patties, yet two double cheese burgers cost $4 and have 4 meat patties and 4 pieces of cheese; no 3 part bun, but 4 parts!? Watch for the new "plant based" craze.
Avocados suck. My Mother and Step-Father where on an avocado kick years back. Mom was also on a raison binge. She put them in or on everything. Spaghetti, hash browns, tossed salad, meatloaf, and so forth.
Disney pumps fake food smells through pipes with sweet scent of fresh food, and other goodies.....
Thank you for this information 👍
@Eden Smith You're welcome! I'm glad I could provide you with the information you were looking for.😎
My Dad in his 60's was a victim of 10 for 10! Free samples before 2020? A friend of mine would spend his Lunch hour eating for FREE!!
A burger place near where I live charged me a fee for a fountain drink re-fill. I never went back . . . ever. Not even for the drive-thru.
@1:15 - they finally put that Invincible meme in a video.
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that!! I love that show.
we use the same routine all the time.
for real?
@@BabbleTop yeah- go in get our veggies- our luncheons for our son- (Hillshire because it is least chemicals) yogurts, eggs, special milks(For Life- and soy- almonds) pet foods- and a sundry of "ingredients" for meals- No crap no waste
3:45 those obscure terms and conditions can be sneaky, said a _RUclips._
I know what i need, i get in an get out, theres no “ extras “
All this stuff I learned about in high school.
@4:22 there is a scene with Mahershala Ali pushing a cart with a kid. My question does anyone know what movie that's from?
The supermarket near me has the bakery to the far right and the produce by the entrance
In the grocery store we usually shop at the bakery and the meat and deli are all along one of the short sides, and the entrances are approximately in the middle of the long side. No freshly baked bread smells when you enter that store, possibly from the café though which is near one of the entrances
The lightning at burger joints here in my country is usually relatively soft, and Burger King has music playing. It may not be fine dining, but fast food places here offer a pretty good eating experience (even though the food lefts a bit to be desired)
Hey There Babble Top 😝
good morning
I hate it when I open the cupboard and get assaulted by MnM's! That's why I now carry a MAP Gas torch when I go to said. I'll melt the buggers if they try anything.
Too bad. These tricks never work on me since I always have a shopping list and my phone to distract me from these tricks. Also I always bring just enough cash
For Once and For All Please
Nobody 'Steps Foot' ANYWHERE. People 'Set Foot' on the stairs, into a fast food joint etc etc. It means 'To set your foot onto or into a place'. Dislike somewhere? "I would never SET FOOT' there.
