Am I being paranoid? - eviltoast

I was talking to my friend how much I’ve been craving lobster 2 days ago. They now have lobster at my grocery store - they haven’t had lobster in years. Last winter I was talking about how much I like goose over Turkey for Christmas dinner and suddenly they had frozen goose and they literally never had goose before.

Am I being targeted or am I paying more attention or am I just being paranoid?

If the bots are listening, bring back lamb. I’ll buy lamb chops.

    Consider the sheer cost of this. Shipping, especially overnight shipping, is incredibly expensive. Stores get stock on on or two regular days of the week and have a crew dedicated to just unloading that truck and getting everything on shelves, a process that takes days.

    Stores could not profit enough to put items in your path in the hope that you might buy them in this way.

      Cost, yeah I was thinking about that. Lobster is pretty readily available at other locations nearby (ish),. Same can be said for lamb and goose. Same distribution center just dropping it off at a different store.

      These are things I can buy with only a little travel it’s just now they are immediately available as soon as I talk about it.
