Anyone who believes the competitive spirit in America is dead has never been in a supermarket when the cashier opens another check-out line.
Forget about being world famous, it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.
My own day-to-day observations confirm that many Americans can barely make change. At the supermarket where I buy groceries, I've watched more than one encounter at the cash register where both customer and clerk are befuddled at the prospect of double-checking the sums.
When you're in the supermarket, you can usually tell straight away when someone recognises you, or they will come up to me and say, 'Well done,' or things like that. So it's nothing sinister or nothing super-crazy.
Supermarket automatic doors open for me; therefore, I am.
I love going to my supermarket. Sounds so rock 'n' roll, eh?
I had never been in a supermarket before coming to America. At home, my parents wouldn't let me open the refrigerator, because they worried I'd damage the door by opening it too many times.
I go up in the supermarkets and people always go what are you doing here and I go I'm hungry in a sarcastic but nice way just to let them know yo I'm human too man.
It slows down grocery shopping, because so many women at the store watch the show. I always end up talking to two or three people every time I go to Ralphs. It's fun.
The free-from aisle is the most depressing place in the supermarket.
It wasn't very easy getting used to being famous. Everybody stared at me in the supermarket and on the street. I think my life changed, for sure.
People sorta know my face, but I can still go out to the supermarket, and nobody pays much attention.
I find it really weird, when I'm shopping in Tesco, the amount of times I have people like: 'What you doing in here? You're famous!'
Most Americans have probably heard the song 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town' about a billion times in the supermarket alone.
This is at a time when you know most of us drank tap water, so I used to go to this store and examine all the varieties and we used to marvel at all the choices out there, but I found that I rarely bought anything and I kind of thought that was kind of curious. I mean, they had things that the other grocery stores didn't have and yet I never bought anything.
The reason I like Portland is the idea of going to a supermarket and knowing there's no way to be recognized. L.A. is so social.
