DAY 9 — “Watch What Happens Next”
If you really want to understand demand…
Don’t start with numbers. Start with behavior. 👀
Pick any grocery store across NY, CT, MA, RI, NH, ME, or VT.
Stand back for a minute. And just watch.
Someone walks in.
Not wandering—not browsing like they’re killing time.
They move with intention. 🚶♂️
They don’t slow down at displays.
They don’t pause at options.
They are heading somewhere specific.
They turn into the aisle.
Go exactly where a product should be.
And then—They stop.
It’s subtle.
But it’s very real. ⏸️
That pause isn’t random.
That pause means: “This is where it should be… so why isn’t it?”
Sometimes they lean in.
Sometimes they scan the shelf again.
Sometimes they do that quick left-right eye check like they know they must have missed it. 😅
But they didn’t.
And in that moment, you learn something important:
This shopper wasn’t deciding.
They were confirming. And confirmation just failed.
