I was talking to my friend how much I’ve been craving lobster 2 days ago. They now have lobster at my grocery store - they haven’t had lobster in years. Last winter I was talking about how much I like goose over Turkey for Christmas dinner and suddenly they had frozen goose and they literally never had goose before.
Am I being targeted or am I paying more attention or am I just being paranoid?
If the bots are listening, bring back lamb. I’ll buy lamb chops.
Sorta yeah but most large chains dont really do most of their ordering manually - it’s half if not mostly or completely automated based on sales, trends and size.
It’s obviously very different in small stores where they expect X amount of product they paid for. But it’s super easy for, say, Walmart, to move inventory around based on possible trends.
I’m not saying your wrong but it is kinda noticable when my grocery store started carrying lobster a week after I was looking it up on door dash. After not having it for ~10 years or suddenly having 3 frozen geese a month after taking about it after never having it (~18 years at this house).
I’m not about to spend $130 on a small frozen goose. Or ~$80 on a 1lb lobster. I will, however, spend money on lamb - something I’ve been purposefully bringing up in gchat a lot recently. Something they stopped selling about a decade ago.
If lamb is suddenly available in the next monthish I’ll respond to this comment - but maybe I’m just noticing trends that don’t exist.
