Pain, love, loss, drugs, Wham/Firestarter covers,... it's all there.
And it's as sweet as it is wrecking.

Supermarkets are interesting in many ways. I agree there's a difference between the Aldi and the Delhaize crowd but in general supermarkets hold a small, average selection of our society.
Old, young, rich, poor, dirty, cute, ugly, smelly,... Pretty much every person-describing adjective can be matched to a supermarket visitor.
Here's a short list of things noticed, love and hated in supermarkets (I know):
- Lobsters. I have to make a stop at the lobster tank. Never in my life have I seen somebody buy lobsters in a supermarket. Sometimes I think they're not even real and are plastic fakes, part of an experiment fooling goons like me. Some of them have tiny bubbles rising for their mouths, some don't. Also, I wonder what company produces the shiny elastics wrapped around lobster claws. This seems rather difficult to strap these bands by a machine so there must be a guy doing nothing but that the entire day.
- Stereotyping fellow shoppers. I can't help but secretly staring into other people's shopping baskets and making up stories about their lives. I'm a supermarket profiler: serial killers, happy/crappy singles, millionaires... I'm onto you. Hello prejudice.
- People breathing in your neck, bumping their karreke on your heels, crawling nearly over you when checking out. BACK THE **** OFF!
- "Shit, I forgot my recyclable bag". Watch me stack groceries at the counter because I'm too stubborn to buy a new one.
- Pet food. I'm fascinated, especially cat food. Cat food model must be the most awesome pet job ever. I love the arrogant ones. Cute vs staring straight and not blinking.
- Checkout lanes. Somehow I always succeed in picking the slowest one. I gave up looking for a logical reason behind this phenomenon a while ago. Now I choose the line with the most attractive cashier. Might as well enjoy the wait.
This reminds me I never finished Cashback.
