"Muh Soviet in a supermarket" story in 2023? My comment was also about McDonald's in the USSR, so they're feeling super exceptionalist over fast food slop.

    They've been clinging to this meme since the Boris Yeltsin story. I know a lot of people who immigrated from poverty-stricken nations and the supermarkets aren't the thing that they're having emotional reactions to. It's the relative safety they feel compared to their home countries. Being able to have an abundance of food is nice, but it's even nicer to take a walk without worrying that a street gang or cartel member will fuck you up for looking at them the wrong way.
