I guess he thinks he’s one upping Harris or something? Weird.

      More like that time Michael Jackson paid to have a grocery store shut down for the day and filled with his friends and family as customers just so he could feel what it’s like to be a normal person.

        Did he have some kind of people phobia? Why not just go to a grocery store?

        I already know your going to say “but it’s MJ!?!” but honestly if he wore a baja jacket and some sweat pants with some tennis shoes or some beat up shower flat sandals. Everyone would just assumed he was another weirdo and advert their eyes. Then he would get the true shopping experience haha

          A regular place would have soon been swarming with crazy fans had MJ showed up even unannounced.

            Not if he pulled up in like a Subaru and did like 15 to 20 minutes of shopping. By the time they realized who he was and started dialing their friends on their flip phones he could be out the door with his frozen pizza, dunkaroos and mango juice.

              I mean he wanted to experience shopping, not dart in for a quick grab of things for the night. You also underestimate how word would spread even back then.

          People would have recognized him. Plus he wanted to peruse the aisles and check things out, not hide away. He wouldn’t have known how to dart in and out, that was the point.

          Also people didn’t have cell phones in the 80s (I think that’s when he did it). Would have been a payphone.

      trump is dying, and it was his last wish to see where the hamberders come from.
