I finally caved and had to ask.
Ahh yes, beer and butter, classic pairing
Also the butter in the photo seem so big, huge, kilos of butter per package!
Those large vats are just margarine, so much cheaper than butter.
And much less flavour.
Nah they have more flavor, but it’s all artificial flavoring.
Thank you for clarifying.
Aw ghee whiz
The real butter is in the case with the Kerrygold. American Butter (I see Clover, Land o’ Lakes, and Challenge, for example) is typically sold in one-pound boxes of four 8-tablespoon sticks. About ½ kilo in all.
Kerrygold, being more expensive because imported from Ireland, is usually sold as one 8-ounce slab, the equivalent of two sticks.
What you see in the tubs is either margarine, a mix of butter+oil, or whipped butter (adding air to make it softer , go farther, and seem like more).
Ahh yes, beer and butter, classic pairing
i once visited a cocktail bar named “buttershaker” in germany, obviously butter is an important ingredient for numerous cocktails too ;-)
Beer. Butter. Battlestar Galactica.
One more episode. We have time, right?
Beer. Butter. Battlestar Galactica.
Beerstar Galactica, who hasn’t heared of that epos !!!
At least it wasn’t also behind one of those asinine display doors that has a screen on it telling you what might be inside.
A supermarket I go to sometimes around a year ago decided to “reorganize” everything. The first day I went there after the reorganization I almost suffered a meltdown. You know where they put the biscuits and cookies?
You guessed it! In the same aisle than stationery and printer ink. I am not kidding, the psychopath who did this, for some reason decided that printer ink was somehow related to breakfast biscuits.
I think it’s more plausible that the original fridge had broken down, so butter was relocated to an alternative temporary.
Why would there already be a fridge in the stationary and ink aisle?
So you have everything you need to write the company a strongly worded letter about their reorganization.
printer ink was somehow related to breakfast
For when you want your coffee really, really black.
Unless you’re out of blue ink, then you can’t print black coffee, even if your black cartridge is full.
So very glad I ditched inkjets. 🙃
I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like printer ink at a grocery store.
They do this shit on purpose. Years ago I worked for the evil empire (Wal-Mart) and they put all the coffee filters next to the coffee makers in the appliance section, not with the coffee in the grocery section or with the consumable paper products. It forces customers to walk around the store to find things. And they would rearrange it every 6 months or so.
When I was but a youth, I met someone and asked where they worked. They, too, said “the evil empire” (meaning Walmart) but I, being naive and having recently discovered Linux, said “Microsoft?” They laughed and responded in the affirmative.
I believed that for weeks before a Walmart-specific story came up in conversation.
Where I live supermarkets have coffee and smoothie vending machines, so you can have an in-store-coffee while you are buying your groceries. They have it installed to keep you longer in their store, hoping that you buy stuff you didn’t need in the first place.
There are stores in my area with bars, people can just grab a beer or margarita and go shopping
Where is this holy land you speak?
I wouldn’t exactly call Ohio “holy”. Jungle Jims for the margaritas and walk around beers, the nicer Krogers all have bars though
Where I’m from in Australia it’s illegal to drink alcohol within 2km of a licensed premises that sells alcohol.
It’s also illegal to be drunk in public. All becausewe have a huge homeless drunk community and a serious amount of alcohol related violence
Clever. Makes you want beer snacks or cheese.
TIL people actually look at what the aisle sign
That’s all I do. And if I can’t find what I’m looking for easily I do without it.
I hate shopping
Nothing like the old wine/butter aisle
For the really good nights
Nothing like the old
wine/butterFrench Cuisine aisle
I used to live a couple blocks from a Safeway that decided to put the canned beans and canned chili in the wine aisle, with no sign to direct you there. Is throwing random shit in the wine aisle just a Safeway tradition?
Safeway is a garbage store and its honestly your bad for shopping there.
If you want to give people an extra 50% on every grocery bill I’ve got a Venmo you can use.
*you’re
Lol, no. I was worried an autocorrect got me but you’re in the wrong here. This is your bad.
No ur
Ea-nāṣir shops at Safeway.
The Safeway by me is pretty reasonably organized. Probably depends on the manager.
If looked at in a certain way butter is a chilled beverage.
I like a buttery Chardonnay
I never understood that mentality. Like if I want to know something I google it, I ask. I don’t look in an encyclopedia for 20 Mins just to find out I’m in the wrong book.
You google what aisle the butter is in?
They’re saying to ask an employee
They should say that then. If I in this position, I’d be asking for help as well. If I’m at a big box hardware store, I’d look it up on their website because they actually do list aisle things are suppose to be in. Suppose. I have had times where the web listing was much different then the database the employees have access to.
Ya but I haven’t found it yet, mind sending a link?
It’s often the case, as it was here, that finding an available employee is a similarly challenging and time-consuming proposition.
Put the need by a luxury item.
I despise this continuous trend of making stores less convenient and more confusing in order to force people to spend more time looking for things.
Same thing with making the signage over the aisles on opposite ends different. One end might be cake mixes, cooking implements, canned fruits, the other end flour, spices, sauces. Needs a trip past both ends to find cake sprinkles unless you randomly happen down the aisle and spot them
Man I hate safeway so much
So does everyone that works at Safeway
And everyone who shops there
I had a though recently. It would be neato to have some open source, crowdsourced world database of item locations, where you add this sort of information.
Tagged search of a store, where certain items are. What’s stores in a city sell X item. That sort of thing.
Call it “WorldDB”, bake it into OpenStreetMap.
No idea what the legality would be, but I would LOVE it.
May write a post about it at some point, as I am no programmer.
The problem is that stores regularly change the locations of items so everything would be constantly wrong.

Clearly butter is popular with beer drinkers. 2 cases of beer 2 lbs of butter, what a fun night awaits. Slip slidin’ away!
Home improvement stores do the same illogical placement of their goods: If you want to buy a shovel, you would that shovel expect to be located in the aisle with the garden tools, right? Wrong! Of course, it is located in the timber isle, because the handle is made of wood - that’s what they probably thought.
that… hasn’t been my experience. Gardening shoves are in the gardening section and shovels for wet concrete are next to the bags of concrete.
Push enough soldering irons up enough urethras and this’ll stop. Dealer’s choice on when during this process to plug in the iron.
