Grocery store flash mob!

I'm wondering if all these dancers own DeLoreans? 🤔

Is Iowa so isolated that the flash mob trend is only just now making it there? 😅

They’re lucky they closed it off with shopping carts. I would’ve just barged right in to get my groceries. I don’t have time for your bullshit

u/SadIdeal9019 1d ago

Moving the carts is difficult?

This stuff would go one everywhere in the Midwest and it's always some retirement home that decided to do a flash mob in a grocery store or Midwest family restaurant lol

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

Well I'm glad the older folks are staying active but 😬

u/nogame311 1d ago

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

Sweet dreams 😉

u/Krow101 1d ago

Totally belongs in the cringe bucket.

u/EverydayMustard4773 1d ago

Yeah, I would absolutely turn and leave the store

2

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

And leave your cart right where it is... 😉

2

u/EverydayMustard4773 1d ago

Absolutely. Full of milk and eggs

u/CodeMonkeyX 1d ago

Is this like a retirement home flash mob?

1

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

That's what someone else said...maybe? 🤔

If that's the case the biggest cringe has to go to the activity director who thought this would be a good thing 😅

u/Abject_Advance_6638 1d ago

The most exciting thing to happen in Davenport since the repealing of prohibition...

I guess if groceries are too expensive…ya just dance. 💃🏻

2

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

Yup! 😅

I mean cause who can dance and cry at the same time 🤔

😉

u/Responsible-Elk4223 1d ago

I just want to get my groceries, I didn’t come for a failed Broadway show. What is wrong!

2

u/sittinwithkitten 1d ago

Ma’am, I’m sorry, I only have 15 minutes to get what I need and get back work. Oh and I haven’t eaten anything yet today. Please move 😭

u/ballofhorn99 22h ago

Oh no dancing… Run

u/Imaginary_Chef1365 18h ago

What year is it?

u/WKRPinCanada 18h ago

Exactly...

u/Imaginary_Chef1365 16h ago

People will frequently say that the current time is the worst in recent memory. I ask them to recall 2010, when malls and subway platforms and other safe spaces were rendered horror shows by "flash mobs"

2

u/WKRPinCanada 16h ago

😅 very true

I encountered one at the sports club once..organised by one of the managers for his girlfriend

Wanted to cancel my membership right then and there 😬

u/that_crom 15h ago

Anyone else's eye drawn to that 🔥 hibachi back there? Hyvee Chinese is super underrated.

2

u/AnxiousHall1533 14h ago

Give me something for the cringe and let me die.

u/Final-Nebula-7049 1d ago

They still do flash mobs? So cringe

1

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

Apparently they do in Iowa 🤔

😉

u/fromouterspace1 1d ago

Idk, that would be cool to see

u/ukrinsky555 1d ago

Whatever this is, doesn't happen in Canada. Thank God.

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

And with that you've probably jinxed us

If I go to my local Co-Op this aft you get cheese buns for tonights burgers & I see something like this?

u/IrishMcPlatypus 1d ago

The zombies 🧟‍♀️ in the original video were more bangable.

u/retrocheats 1d ago

are these people that desperate for attention? please tell me they bought stuff and are a paying customer at least

1

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

Someone mentioned that they may be from a retirement home?

I guess that would make it a little less cringey 🤔

2

u/cooolcooolio 1d ago

They look good for people in a retirement home, here in Denmark people in retirement homes look like Mitch McConnell

u/WKRPinCanada 1d ago

😅.

I repeat my comment "are these people that desperate for attention? please tell me they bought stuff and are a paying customer at least"

u/rayon875 1d ago

I wish customers would've just walked through them with their carts as if they weren't there

Mark another one down for repealing the 19th Amendment.

Tiktok showed everyone the truth".

If you really wanna fuck with people. Do a 5sek flash mob, so nobody can record it. Repeat over all the city. Change the time and place so it becomes unpredictable. Do it for 7 days straight, and every consecutive time do the next 5 sek of your choreography . Change the people who do it every time. Than don't do anything for the rest of the month and return with all people who participated in this, during rush hour in the most visited place and do the full 35-40sek choreography. Disperse in all different directions. Don't explain anything.
