+ORC: Supermarket enslavement techniques
published by +ORC - 13 March 1997
Ok, Fravia convinced me to publish separate without interpolating all this in my tut, coz it would have been too heavy, even if in my opinion it is part of cracking and he may be wrong, coz nobody will read my crap if I don't mix it with software cracking info, coz people do not want to learn to be free, and to free them we have sadly to "circumvent" them with more or less the same techniques that our enemies use to enslave them :=)
Let's crack the very temples of the enemies of the humanity and poetry, the prisons where we are forced to buy and consume... let's show all idiots the WHIPS that are used to enslave them... as always light comes through knowledge
Remeber that NOTHING is casual in this awful society where people are CULTIVATED to consume and nothing else than that. Around you almost everything has a "secret" meaning, that you are not supposed to see, understand or crack (see the codebar example in my C1 lesson, which is my best contribution so far to this cause :=) Knowledge is real power... it's not just a phrase! And Internet gives us (at least until now) the possibility to spread knowledge. They spread shit ads, useless information and publicity, we spread "real" knowledge... we'll win
Let's begin with some simple basic counter-intelligence work... You'll never watch again your mall or supermarkt with the same eyes after having read this
The entrance is on the right, yet you walk leftwards, duh
In all modern supermarket the slave MUST follow a counterclockwise direction: 95% of the population of the world has a slight imperfected equilibrium, they tend to the left... if you leave somebody alone lost in the desert (don't do it :=) he'll begin tu turn round counterclockwise. That's the reason most modern supermarket have a "counterclockwise" layout... which btw has other consequences and hidden commercial meanings, as you will see in the following
Why do they start with fresh fruit?
Reason Number 1: People coming inside a supermarket tend to conserve the velocity and the inertia of the streets... they would "jump" the first 10 meters of merchandises if you did not stop them with the explosion of colours and smells that only fresh fruit can offer. Notice, moreover, that merchandises in the first ten meters are almost wortless just in case: potatoes, onions... the expensive fruits-sorts are more distant, so that people will be able to pick them once having 'calmed down'.
Reason number 2: The supermarket are subjected to the strong concurrence of the "discount" malls ("poor people" supermarkts, the ones with ugly boxes and cheaper prices), which (mostly) do not have fresh fruit, but only conserves... first thing when he comes in: the slave must be assured, palping a red nice apple, that he is in an "exquisite" special frish shop (little does and should the slave know about the products used to 'polish' and shine that apple, btw).
Note that the disposition of the fruit and vegetables is NOT casual (far from it). The whole point in supermarket enslavement is that the very few thing that are really useful and 'must' be bought (say toilet paper, sugar, salt or wodka) are overwhelmed and interpolated with completely useless products and/or with much more expensive varieties and qualities of the same kind, because of the huge profits on those articles and of the smaller profits on basic products.
Light dances in your eyes, sounds enter your hears
Orange and apples with a lot of mirrors, Bananes and pears with a green surrounding, salads and potatos with clear light... red for meat (coz white light would make it look greysh) and so on... have a look at the illumination tricks in your mall next time you are compelled to go in.
Note also that the quiet music is necessary: the supermarkt would seem "dead" without it, but at the same time music must not be so heavy that it may disturb any consumeristic concentration... and it changes too... they know exactly at which time of the day "seniores" and at which time "youngsters" slaves are ususally consuming inside the malltrap, therefore you'll have music which is "calibrated" on the time of the day.
Expensive is easy, cheap is difficult
Producte are so positionated that the expensive ones are ALWAYS positioned "towards" the march direction of the slave: at the best height to be picked up. The cheaper varities of the same articles are always "behind" the march direction of the slave, and/or a little too low or a little to high.
Now stop and have a look at the varieties of a given product, say whisky, or honey (not wodka, it's not necessary, you should always and only drink Moskowskaja :=)
Humans (euroamericans) stroll with the eyes from left to right (like you are doing now, reading my lines), therefore notice how the CHEAPEST varities of a given product are on the left, the more expensive on the right, in the hope that slave's hands will be quicker as slave's brain (as it's often the case nowadays).
Funny, the fridges open all in a weird sense
Yeah, the doors are made in order to enforce the slave to see immediately other products, inside ANOTHER fridge as soon as he closes one where he has already 'consumed'. Would the doors close normally, his nose would be back against products he has already bought: no good. Note the disposition of the products inside the ice-boxes on the floor, too... it's far from casual as you can see... notice how far away are those products and how easy to pick up are these? Goddy! I believe we should drive school classes through the malls explaining all these tricks to the little future slaves!
May I NOT help you?
You'll NEVER hear a supermarket employee asking you "may I help you" in normal cases (unless you really and badly need it and you chase him), because that would limit the possibility of you buying a lotta other useless products instead of what you need, it would break the "magic", and in that dreaded case the slave could even come to the nasty idea to lower the blick on the trolley, instead of filling it -overwhelmed by soo muuuch choice- with everything he sees.
Besides the employees are really busy "filling" the spaces... it's very important that the products are positionated at a predetermined in-between distance and density... too many people on to narrow space and some slaves would "put back" the product they have in their hands, instead of deposing it in the trolley... an empty gap in an alley would break the magic
What are stoppers?
Stoppers are the "dynamic" part of a supermarket... most of the slaves come here twice in a week (at least) and do not want to see always the same things in the same places (they could come to the -right- conclusion that they are being 'drilled to buy') even if they at the same time want to be reassured... "I know where's the wine". Everything must stay where it was, but a part must move... hence the stoppers, little mountains of "offers", toilet paper to-day, shampoos to-morrow.
Capturing the audience
Supermarkets have also a 'local' hinterland as well. People that live in the vicinities and/or that have to 'pass' near it on the way back home from the office will tend after a while to use the same one more and more, for 'simplicity' reasons.
These people have been 'caught' by the supermarket: they are its 'captives'. Now, once your captives' base is great enough there is no reason no more to give them real choices, is it? Wouldn't be better - and more rentable - if all this people would buy grossomodo the same few products types? And would not it be even better if those same products would be not only sold but also produced by you? And that is exactly what regularly happens with all big chains: the 'own brand' products are being pushed more and more, through mere phisical presence and/or through advertisement or three for two schemes, while at the same time the choice of alternatives decreases more and more. It begins with potatoes, eggs and 'white products' of all kinds, it ends with "everything" offered as 'own brand'.
Thus the supermarkets, born inter alia with the implicit promise of a broader choice for consumers, try instead to reduce it more and more every time there is a possibility to do so.
Cry baby cry
There are queues at the cashier. Note that there are almost ALWAYS queues: the turns are so calculated as to spare personal whenever possible, that means that there is always a 'queue lenght' that is considered 'acceptable' (the slave will not burst off leaving the charriot and jelling "never again!") and that they try to avoid, for obvious profit reasons, to have cashiers waiting for clients instead that the other way round. Bresides: there is money to be made through queues! In fact that's the right moment to bite the slave's kids, which are terribly annojed and exige the products that have been purposely put on the two sides of the cashier queue. Watch them, look at their prices... very very interesting this is really the "lower instinct" part: All these articles are chosen and calculated to give maximum profit, all products you would NEVER in your life come to buy but here, coz this is the only real (compelled) "canyon" that the slave must cross... "Dad, may I have this and that?". "Why shouldn't I buy those nice mints?"
Notice how these products are MUCH more expensive than the "three for one" confections of the same product that are sold inside the shop somewhere... but where? You will not know, coz that's exactly the sort of products you normally don't buy! How many time do I have to prove it to you
Teach your kid to use the waiting time to completely upset the order of these products, or do it yourself. These shelfs can also be very useful to dump all useless products that you did buy without noticing ever after having read this... best of all is to dump there a couple of frozen icecreams boxes upside down, they will slowly leak everything on so artfully positioned peppermints :=)
D'you want our "superadvantage" nice plastic card?
No! No! No! It's only a cheap, dirty trick to gather all possible data on your comportament whithout ever having to raise a finger. They'll know how much and when and where you drink/shit/eat/ love/cry/wash/sleep/etc and stuff their databases for free (notice how the "discounts" are lilliputian in comparison with what they steal you through the abovementioned tricks... did you know that 35% of the fridge products you buy will go directly from fridge to dustbin? That's the real average, duh)
So let's battle against them! Codebar! Understand! Explain others! Free the stupid slaves... watch the world around you free from petty convention and understand in what for an awful mess you are condemned to live!
+ORC, the old red cracker... (I'm not finished yet, there's more to come!)
