Why do Americans sell food where it doesn't belong?

Don't you eat snacks while watching movies? No wonder Russia is broke, you guys have don't have a business mind. Keep doing Krokdil, since that's something you guys seem to be really good at.

>eating snacks 24/7 is buisness mind
Kay, hope it'll make me rich someday.

No idea what you're saying, I'm new to this board's memes, I'm /tv/.

This is a movie rental/buying store. When people buy movies they usually buy snack so they can eat and watch the movie.

>mfw I bought beer and doritos in a CVS in las Vegas.

I thought CVS was supposed to be a pharmacy?

>>76003709
What if you're not hungry?

>>76003793

>>76003375

It used to solely be a pharmacy then in the 80s they started selling snacks and now some are small minimarts where u can everything short of fresh produce and fruits. Cus Americans are fatsos

>>76003375
Because of insatiable American appetite. It demands that large amounts of food be ever present and nearby.

This. I remember around the 90s my mother had a friend who was a fellow nursing student from the USSR. When she came here in the late 80's she couldn't believe the abundance of food and her mind was blown by a grocery store with food and goods she couldn't have imagined.

Puts things in perspective.

>Russia rekt by burgers again

Russians grew up with bread lines and empty shelves lads.

Only thing in abundance was vodka, AKs and heroin.

They can make pretty good margins on impulse items such as those. Nobody needs to buy that crap, but temptation to splurge gets the better of them and movie stores are hoping to cash in on it. Good business sense tbqh

One of the examples is the uproar the finnish tv-signal caused in soviet Estonia. Ads, such as the "Väiski" of K-store with abundance of meat and other goodies, were supposedly fake and CIA -propaganda. They planned to build iron fence to coast to block the signals, but the Union fell instead.

Ay caramba

I mostly enjoy making fun of Americans but this was a pathetic attempt on the Russian side countered well by the burgers

>>76004609
Kind of like the time Boris Yeltsin was convinced that capitalism is superior after visiting an American supermarket

>In Yeltsin’s own autobiography, he wrote about the experience at Randall’s, which shattered his view of communism, according to pundits. Two years later, he left the Communist Party and began making reforms to turn the economic tide in Russia. You can blame those frozen Jell-O Pudding pops.

“When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people,” Yeltsin wrote. “That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it.”

Both true :D I hurried too much without planning my defence.

>>76004702
Everyone knew by the 1950 that capitalism is superior. No one actually believed that USSR was greater than America.

>>76004757
It was actually 20s. But chekisty took over and used the facade to stay in power ruling the illiterate majority.

>>76004782
Some retards still believed in it during WW2 and shortly after but for example Estonians knew what type of cancer it was early on. You tried to stage a communist coup here in 1924 but we killed all the agents and threw their bodies in a landfill

>>76004828
I think some military fucks here believed in some bullshit till the end because military are always like trhat.

>>76004980
There are still old faggots who believe life was better in the USSR

Yeh but they don't sell any real food in those places, just salted, diabetes-inducing garbage.

You have to be a woman no real Russian guy would give two shits about a post like that.

>One factor in the collapse of the USSR was said to be the gradual depoliticization of the armed forces in the 70s-80s, leading to the failure of the August 1991 coup when the Soviet army refused to help hardline communists seize power. In 1983, Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov complained that too many Soviet citizens believed in peace with the West at any price and that more political education was needed to "instill a class point of view in world affairs".

>The lesson was not lost on the Chinese Communist Party, which to this day still retains an obsession with the collapse of the USSR. Senior party members are given lessons on why the USSR disintegrated and how they can prevent it from happening to the PRC. Speaking before the Central Committee in 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping said "The [August '91 coup] failed because nobody was a big enough man to stand up and support it." To that end, PLA officers still receive extensive political indoctrination and suggestions of de-politicizing the armed forces have been repeatedly rejected. However, in the end, the net effect is to weaken the PLA's combat effectiveness due to officers wasting valuable time studying propaganda rather than practical military skills.

It's true Svetlana now calm yo tits

They don't really believe in communism, they just miss back when they were young and their penis still worked.

>>76004782
During the Depression, there were a lot of edgelords who thought capitalism and democracy had failed and that Germany and Russia were paving the way to the future.

>>76003375
They'd sell food and drinks at the video stores around here. The one I went to had a fucking KFC built into it. I miss video stores.

>>76004782
Marxism was already outdated by the 1920s. Karl Marx had never stopped to think how the workers could just use the democratic process to vote themselves better wages and a social safety net.

>wah wah communism is shit therefore capitalism is good

>>76004782
It was really Stalin who did that, since he killed off all the real communists in the USSR and replaced them with neo-tsarism that vaguely pretended to be Marxism.
