Mark yelling “COME” at everyone without another word and proceeding to tell people that what they’re buying is “a little pathetic” really just hits the nail on the head
The funniest thing to me is that as an Australian, we don’t have pennies anymore (I think we used to), so if you’re buying cash it’s purely marketing. But it also means that I read it in my head as the rounded up price, because if I pay the rounded up price in cash, I don’t get anything back
The mental image of walking into a supermarket and seeing a clearly deranged man, chanting “BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY!” to the customers that walk in like an evil eldrich cult leader is genuinely funny and would make me want to visit that store again
Watching Mark's slow descent into insanity with running a retail store and starting from an honest small business to using all the common tricks of the trade is hilarious.
The funny part is... this is almost mandatory. JCPenny tried to 'stop scamming the customers' with their honesty policy, which had them adjust their pricing to remove the .x9 system and even make the prices more relatable to their market value, which meant not doing 30% off sales to mask the prices. The result nearly crushed the company at the time and resulted in the one who came up with that idea to be voted off the board. In a twist of irony, humanity needs to be scammed to feel better.
@@FlameSoulis I actually worked for JCpenny a few years ago, another thing they frequently did is saying a piece of clothing was "On sale," for like 12.99, from its "original price" of 18.99 to say that you were "Saving money." At one point, management said to us that we need to circle what their savings was on the customer's receipt.
No, that is day 3. Most people try to power through day 1 because surely it is just because it's the first day. Then they finish day 2 and realize they were wrong. Then day three starts and they decide no more.
My favorite inaccuracy is that there's no old people who try to tell you all about their life and what they're doing next week, while you finished helping them two customers ago

7:30 Man, these customers are unbelievably efficient. They walk in, walk right to what they want, grab it, walk straight to the checkout. I'm not sure I've ever skipped "stare at the aisles for like 3 minutes".

And then if you're like thinking the product is too expensive and the cashier is like "I DON'T CARE. PURCHASE, PURCHASE, PURCHASE, PURCHASE, PURCHASE, PURCHASE"
A buddy of mine had training to work at a convenience store, about how to handle a promo on muffins. They showed the right thing to do ("Thanks, would you also like a muffin today?"), but they also had what *not* to do: 1) *yells at customer across the store* HEY!!! BUY A MUFFIN!!! 2) *silently grab a muffin, ring it up, and set it on the counter in front of the customer* 3) *standing creepily behind them, whispering* Buy a muffin, buy a muffin, buy a muffin... After watching this, I think they could have added another couple things to their training videos, lol.
Dude no lie I just laughed for like 5 minutes thinking about how fucking hilarious it would be to actually go up to someone in a store and whisper “buy a muffin” behind them over and over
"Thank you for shopping at whatever my restaurant is called" I laughed so hard. This would be the worst restaurant, a DIY restaurant. Also known as a shop.
I love the determination of the guy who stood there for 1 hour and 29 minutes with 10 dollars in his hand waiting for his 2 dollars change while mark yelled at him.
I love that you just became Kroger straight off the bat. "im gonna set high prices and aim to be like a favorite store for a small town." and "no its gonna stay high, because its fine. that way i can put it on sale later and people love it"
Didn't he mention in a past video that the supermarket he worked at was a Kroger store? Cause I feel like that explains a lot 😂 And I say this as someone who currently works at a Kroger store lol
Yes, that was literally the point of the joke. Thank you for pointing it out. Did you know Mark also breathed in the video? Anything else you want to just, point out?
Watching Mark steadily go more insane as the video went on was beautiful! If I went to a grocery store and a man is screaming "Buy, buy, buy!" at me, I would be mortified lol
Man, the guy running that new little grocery store is quite strange. He ran up to my sister Janet, yelled at her, and then lazer-beamed her into oblivion
Imagine: You're walking home from a long day at work. You walk down the streets, grateful that at least your day is nearly over. You feel a buzzing in your pocket, pulling out your phone to see your spouse texting you to buy some eggs and cheese. They want to make breakfast in the morning but forgot they ran out of eggs. You sigh, putting away your phone and going into the nearby grocery store. You get what you need, pulling out your cash instinctively before the cashier tells you the price. Instead of doing so, the cashier just completely goes off on you. 39:17
34:10 - I once worked in a shop where the register was right next to the door like this. It was terrible, because any time we'd do a transaction, the customer would invariably end up blocking the door so no one else could get in or out until they were done.
my favorite thing about watching mark is being an adult with adhd and absolutely understanding his ramblings. i was listening like "hell yeah man, i get it"
There's something cathartic about mark playing games like this where he's customer service and just hearing the most accurate shit ever. "It came out to 20 and you gave me 21? I JUST GAVE YOU THE 1 BACK!?! It doesn't make sense" Also, as a banker, the till not going in descending order.... *Internal rage*
my brother bought this and i played his copy and as a previous walmart cashier i was SO thrown off at the order of bills it took me a solid 30 seconds to process what was happening
I love how when he changed uo the shelves people immediately stopped buying multiple things at once, I have no idea if the game can tell if customers see products or not but that was some of the most egregious placement I have ever seen
i started watching this and my mom walked into the room, looked at Mark's face for a good 10 seconds, then said: "i thought that was keanu reeves" parents are the best
Amy should live stream when he records videos, but with a camera/mic down the hall from his recording room just so we can hear what she and the poochies hear from the other side. Make it a charity stream. I know as a community we would donate to a silent hallway just to hear him scream from down the hall
Yeah, this is such a strange idea from an Aussie perspective. Our receipts list the tax but the shelf price includes the tax so you can always easily see what everything costs. Only extra cost at checkout is if you forgot to bring a bag and need one, then you have to buy one.
54:40 , speaking as a european who's been somewhat around the world (mainly central and south America and Europe), the US is the only country i've ever been in where the price displayed on the shelves doesn't include taxes, and frakly i believe that's lunatic behaviour. Not being able to know how much you're gonna pay without needing to make percentile calculations before getting to the register sounds absolutely awful.
It's not hard. Every time I see the comparisons between Europe and America, it's always seems like you guys need things simplified for you. Same with the metric system, but the empirical system isn't any less easy to understand when you've been raised with it your WHOLE life. Same with doing the tax in your head, the 99 is not hard to go, "one dollar higher."
@HonkHonkler I mean, yeah whe you grow up with it anything comes more naturally. Tell that to the scientists who had to switch between systems causing all that tax money to explode *with* the rockets.
@@HonkHonkler It's not like most people go to the store just buy a candy bar...you have to calculate a cart full of groceries, and nobody is saying it's too hard just a dumb system to deal with.
I'm from Poland and I think all the Europe puts taxes into the price so you can just focus on getting the stuff and not thinking about the "real" price that you're going to pay. So I think that is so much better then calculating while you shop.
4:12 throws cardboard away like responsible citizen, breaks out into song in the middle of advertising his market, questions himself, refuses to elaborate, leaves to continue to do business as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.
36:49 i hate to be the one to say it but he probably needs it to fry stuff. Those at home deep fry machines use a lot of oil. They probably didnt realize they were out of oil and were having tonight turkey..... Or chicken.
As someone in marketing, I love the fact that Mark actually used a marketing strategy called odd-even pricing. Yes, that works IRL. People will more frequently buy something that's priced ending with odd numbers because it gives the illusion of being priced cheaper
Mark luring customers to his corner store like Sméagol and then shoot lasers out of his eyes (nice one Lixian) at them when they stride past is hilarious. Can’t wait for part two
Am I the only one who expected shoplifters? Just watching the player's reaction when the customer walks out the door without paying. Fun fact: I've seen this behavior in a library too. A drunk couple showed up at a library I worked at and my colleagues eventually asked them to leave. The husband snatched a bestseller off a shelf on their way out and loudly announced "I won't be returning this!".
@@Noo6995 It really is hilarious! His face and the fact that he couldn't really do much and just stood there while Mark kept on monologuing his life 🤣 Meanwhile all the other customers in line just stood there like: 👀
The birds chirping is such a subtle effect, but I love it! Also, mark doing a turnaround on the .99 thing by the end shows the slow descent into capitalist madness.
Can you imagine if someone made a supermarket simulator in the same style as papers please? Starting as a new employee and after a couple months, on black friday, you're stocking, ordering, payroll, managing, cashiering, watching for shop lifters and scams, false bills, damages, expired product, karens, inaccurate signs, price matching, malfunctioning registers, updating the system, counting stock, etc. You'd probably have to turn it into a multiplayer XD
Ah yes, Markipliers Supermarket Simulator Musical! Featuring iconic songs such as: “I’ve Got Goods” “Business is a-Booming” “Give Me Your Money Please” and “I’m a Supermarket”
Australia stopped making our 1c coins too, but I also don't think they're usable anymore. Smallest coins we deal with now are the 5c but stores that accept cash are getting rarer and rarer anyway. Almost everything is EFTPOS these days, which causes big problems if the system goes down for any reason. Lots of stores completely close if there's a hack or disaster or anything else that gets in the way of card payments.
@@squishy17616 banks will take them if you’re having trouble with using them at stores. Most stores are hit and miss but I’ve found a few places (like dollarama, shoppers along with some mom and pop places) will take them aswell!

@@Efor3mma It's not actually backwards--at banks, and most stores the Drawer should be lined so 20s are closest to the cashier, and 1's are closest to the customer. You always want the smallest bills to face the door, not the otherway around.

You sigh, putting away your phone and going into the nearby grocery store. You get what you need, pulling out your cash instinctively before the cashier tells you the price. Instead of doing so, the cashier just completely goes off on you.
39:17
And then imagine having to come back later because you didn't get enough eggs. 40:46
Twice. 55:17
Lol just look at him feeling the heat like he's on the verge of tears 😢 😭 😂
Laser beams from
the eyes, killing random people, saying “They need me they’d be nothing my without me”…
Bro is becoming homelander.
34:10 - I once worked in a shop where the register was right next to the door like this. It was terrible, because any time we'd do a transaction, the customer would invariably end up blocking the door so no one else could get in or out until they were done.
Thankfully video games usually allow clipping. But yeah, real people and carts have collision. Whoever designed that shop is insane.
Oh yeah. I've been to plenty of corner stores that are like that.
my favorite thing about watching mark is being an adult with adhd and absolutely understanding his ramblings. i was listening like "hell yeah man, i get it"
Too real haha
That explains why I like his videos so much
I was wondering about that
He.. Isn't normal? Uh-oh
There's something cathartic about mark playing games like this where he's customer service and just hearing the most accurate shit ever. "It came out to 20 and you gave me 21? I JUST GAVE YOU THE 1 BACK!?! It doesn't make sense" Also, as a banker, the till not going in descending order.... *Internal rage*
my brother bought this and i played his copy and as a previous walmart cashier i was SO thrown off at the order of bills it took me a solid 30 seconds to process what was happening
26:07 I forgot Mark put the fridge there for a second and thought the guy was about to walk out of the store.😂😂😂
I love how when he changed uo the shelves people immediately stopped buying multiple things at once, I have no idea if the game can tell if customers see products or not but that was some of the most egregious placement I have ever seen
i started watching this and my mom walked into the room, looked at Mark's face for a good 10 seconds, then said:
"i thought that was keanu reeves"
parents are the best
Amy should live stream when he records videos, but with a camera/mic down the hall from his recording room just so we can hear what she and the poochies hear from the other side. Make it a charity stream. I know as a community we would donate to a silent hallway just to hear him scream from down the hall
I agree
True
I wonder how she felt hearing “BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY!”
that sounds like creep behavior.
45:36 "i wonder what shock will be next?"
"OH NO MY WIFE CHWATING ON ME"
Mark: "Pennies are useless."
Also Mark (2 minutes later): "OH NO I GAVE THEM AN EXTRA PENNY!"
"Thank you for shopping at whatever my restaurant is!"
Lady grabbing flour off a shelf: "Huh?"
Dude lmfao
"I don't know in how many countries they combine tax and shelf price"
In all of them except the one.
Not in Canada either, so at least two
Lmao exactly
@@sarahm4669 you mean America's hat?😂 Jk
Yeah, this is such a strange idea from an Aussie perspective. Our receipts list the tax but the shelf price includes the tax so you can always easily see what everything costs. Only extra cost at checkout is if you forgot to bring a bag and need one, then you have to buy one.
@@mbncdyeah, in Sweden you see the amount you pay in taxes as a separate category besides the total price
I can just imagine mark running a supermarket checkout with his boar spear yelling "BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY"
54:40 , speaking as a european who's been somewhat around the world (mainly central and south America and Europe), the US is the only country i've ever been in where the price displayed on the shelves doesn't include taxes, and frakly i believe that's lunatic behaviour. Not being able to know how much you're gonna pay without needing to make percentile calculations before getting to the register sounds absolutely awful.
It's not hard. Every time I see the comparisons between Europe and America, it's always seems like you guys need things simplified for you. Same with the metric system, but the empirical system isn't any less easy to understand when you've been raised with it your WHOLE life. Same with doing the tax in your head, the 99 is not hard to go, "one dollar higher."
@HonkHonkler I mean, yeah whe you grow up with it anything comes more naturally.
Tell that to the scientists who had to switch between systems causing all that tax money to explode *with* the rockets.
@@HonkHonkler It's not like most people go to the store just buy a candy bar...you have to calculate a cart full of groceries, and nobody is saying it's too hard just a dumb system to deal with.
It’s the same here in Canada, the prices on the shelves don’t include tax, and I think the way the rest of the world does it is much more sensible.
@@HonkHonkler we don't simplify stuff, yall make it harder for no reason
I'm from Poland and I think all the Europe puts taxes into the price so you can just focus on getting the stuff and not thinking about the "real" price that you're going to pay. So I think that is so much better then calculating while you shop.
Yep, it's a lot nicer adding up the prices up in your head and not having the clerk say you have to pay $30 more than what it says
poland guys are W
We have three states who don't do sales tax. Super glad to not have the tax
holy crap poland mentioned 🦅🦅🦅
@@TtySprnklz Yay for Oregon. Although we pay for it in income tax
4:12 throws cardboard away like responsible citizen, breaks out into song in the middle of advertising his market, questions himself, refuses to elaborate, leaves to continue to do business as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.
36:49 i hate to be the one to say it but he probably needs it to fry stuff. Those at home deep fry machines use a lot of oil. They probably didnt realize they were out of oil and were having tonight turkey..... Or chicken.
0:35 I love how his immediate reaction to his supermarket being shitty is to attempt suicide.
From a distance, almost the whispers of a past supermarket
“ELLEN! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I BANNED YOU FROM THE STORE!”
CASEOHHHH 🤣🤣
“Ok buddy your banned”
Lol this series is going to be GOOD
the sound of tim crying accompanying it
“Jim, Tim, I’m lowering your paychecks”
As someone in marketing, I love the fact that Mark actually used a marketing strategy called odd-even pricing. Yes, that works IRL. People will more frequently buy something that's priced ending with odd numbers because it gives the illusion of being priced cheaper
39:32 for some reason I think it would be hilarious if every sound effect was replaced with the vine thud
Mark luring customers to his corner store like Sméagol and then shoot lasers out of his eyes (nice one Lixian) at them when they stride past is hilarious. Can’t wait for part two
not Gollum 😭 "tastey eggs, precious!"
We need more of Mark playing this simulator. We need to see a huge supermarket, called SUPERMARK.
its like Mcdonalds 'supersize it'
i'd like a slushy, and can you supermark-it?
Kudos to the editors. They did a great job. The musical cues were well timed and whimsical
Am I the only one who expected shoplifters? Just watching the player's reaction when the customer walks out the door without paying.
Fun fact: I've seen this behavior in a library too. A drunk couple showed up at a library I worked at and my colleagues eventually asked them to leave. The husband snatched a bestseller off a shelf on their way out and loudly announced "I won't be returning this!".
If the simulator series is back AND they're going to be over an hour long, we are truly entering a blessed age.
I hope he plays more
Imagine being berated for simply wanting cheese and eggs😭 39:16
Literally standing and trying to pay while the clerk lays out his whole life...

Meanwhile all the other customers in line just stood there like: 👀
Watching somebody else working by playing a game about working while at work gotta be one of the experiences of all times
Me rn LMAO
Imagine going to the store and the guy behind the counter is just chanting "BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY" while intently staring at you
You leave and he shoots lasers out of his eyes and kills you
It's not a normal experience for you guys?..
@@nuclearocean no no all supermarket employees have to do both, its part of there training 👍
@@pinkiepout3749 as someone working retail for a bit I can confirm
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that when he did it lol
The birds chirping is such a subtle effect, but I love it! Also, mark doing a turnaround on the .99 thing by the end shows the slow descent into capitalist madness.

Yes all bow to our president
Hello

Its always cool being early and seeing who gets the most likes the fastest lol.
All hail mr. President
Can you imagine if someone made a supermarket simulator in the same style as papers please? Starting as a new employee and after a couple months, on black friday, you're stocking, ordering, payroll, managing, cashiering, watching for shop lifters and scams, false bills, damages, expired product, karens, inaccurate signs, price matching, malfunctioning registers, updating the system, counting stock, etc.
You'd probably have to turn it into a multiplayer XD

59:45 Fun fact, Canada no longer makes pennys for this exact reason even though it still can be used to purchase stuff
Australia stopped making our 1c coins too, but I also don't think they're usable anymore. Smallest coins we deal with now are the 5c but stores that accept cash are getting rarer and rarer anyway. Almost everything is EFTPOS these days, which causes big problems if the system goes down for any reason. Lots of stores completely close if there's a hack or disaster or anything else that gets in the way of card payments.
Pennies aren’t usable?
Where in Canada are pennies still used?? I thought that stores couldn't accept pennies -A Canadian
@@squishy17616 banks will take them if you’re having trouble with using them at stores. Most stores are hit and miss but I’ve found a few places (like dollarama, shoppers along with some mom and pop places) will take them aswell!
9:14 I swear, Lixian is basically Mark's stand that he can manifest whenever he wants to destroy something
This is w comment of good (tired brain no grammar)

12:17 - Mark questioning if turning light bulbs on would give him a power bill.
…While using two computers and a credit card scanner running on the same power the lights use.
28:09 mark saying “um your twin is here” gives the same vibes as “Peta the horse is here” 😂
55:47 Mark using 4 dimes and 4 pennies instead of a quarter, dime, nickel, and then 4 pennies is killing me as an ex cashier.
Me too omg, but the till being backwards is also bothering me so bad
@@Efor3mma It's not actually backwards--at banks, and most stores the Drawer should be lined so 20s are closest to the cashier, and 1's are closest to the customer. You always want the smallest bills to face the door, not the otherway around.
@@ardynamberglow3124 thats super weird lol, I mean, At my store, The Tills are on the left side, so technically the Big bills are still closest to the cashier, but yeah, trips me up lol. Very cool fact tho! I never knew that!
"I don't know how to be human"
That is the most relatable thing you've said today, Mark.
" Can I take your coat?" Sir this is a grocery store.. LOL
35:54 most will call him insane, but we simply cannot understand, the ramblings of a genius
didn't realize how much i missed regular markiplier youtube content. Kind of nice to have him back to these vids.
Imagine your local grocery store would have the lights off until the owners sees you walk by and he stares at you chanting buy buy buy buy
Love how Mark interrupted his own sentence to sing-shout "I'VE GOT GOODS!"
35:02 "This is a genius spot for this."
Yes, that's where it started out at, Mark.
