‘I couldn't believe it bro,’ started the grocery store conversation. I didn't mean to drop any eaves on. ‘like I drove all the way there and they're closed,’ continued his bro. It's Easter Friday and most local retailers in the local neighborhood are closed for religious observation, the notices were posted in stores weeks ago. I concluded a few things from this bromance; these two muppets didn't frequent the supermarkets, they were heading to Griff’s for a braai, this particular supermarket brand everyone was raiding for conveniences was a new experience for the two of them. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to publicly ridicule the bro crowd in their offline state; everyone knows the type, the embodiment of millennial posturing. ‘like that is the cutest bromance I have seen,’ began my monologue, ‘like can you believe the store was totally closed for Easter, omg like who knew. Get a room bro.’ They heard me, it was funny. I advocate to open public mockery, clowns perform for laughs. I noticed how busy this particular supermarket was and I was impressed. Despite the local reputation of this franchisee being unscrupulous I couldn't fault his business savvy. This store opens early, trades every public holiday and survives on a regular client base of the blue collar social rung. Our bros were not regular clients. ‘Check you later at Griff's.’
Homesteading is interesting because your independence comes from preparation. We are slowly moving away from daily trips to retailers as we're generating our own grocery supply. Today was an exception, everyone was caught short for the four day weekend upon which our entrepreneur would Carpe Diem.
