![[meme] American grocery shopping.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/4fc628c5-c193-436c-9664-6c37850e4bf9.jpeg){kind=link}
Honestly, it just feels like a matter of time before we’re gonna see tractor sized vehicles around in cities and people are still gonna say they NEED them for groceries. Yet when I actually visited America and we went grocery shopping with a pickup the size of my room back home, I got the experience of having shopping bags on my lap in the passage seat for the first time ever. Like where else you gonna put it? The trunk? The back seats??? Oh you jokester! There’s like legit no space inside these things.
Maybe I misunderstood the OP. I thought they were saying they were in a huge truck and the person they were with got so many groceries that it filled the truck bed and full-size cab and they even had to have groceries in their lap. I get they’re trying to be critical of large vehicles, which I’m all for, but the way they went about it is so confusing that it pulled all my attention trying to figure out the bizarre context they were trying to manufacture in order to say big truck bad.
It seems like a tremendous amount of groceries would actually be the extremely rare case where having a truck might serve a purpose. You know… once.
