In Ecuador there is a store called SuperMaxi. SuperMaxi is just like Wal-Mart, if Wal-Mart were more expensive than all of it's competitors. Above SuperMaxi there is another that takes Maxi to the max(i). That is the MegaMaxi. This one sells clothes and other accoutrements, not just groceries. It's unfair to say that MegaMaxi is more expensive than every other one of its competitors, though. Some of the things there are very inexpensive, especially the SuperMaxi brand merchandise. It's so cheap that is makes me think, what unknown demographic of people is living a worse life right now because I just bought 2 whole chickens for seven dollars, cockscombs and all.
Anyway.
Something about the MegaMaxi that weirded me out was that they were playing a lot of the same songs as they played at Macy's. Which, okay, doesn't sound that weird, America does export a lot of music overseas, but a lot of the songs that they played at Macy's weren't particularly popular, or they would be deep cuts off of a popular artist's popular album, so it's not like they were just blasting hit after hit. I mean who makes these playlists, the Illuminati? What is the significance of these songs? How come I can never hear a song once in my entire life outside of Macy's and then hear it for the only other time on the opposite side of the equator? Maybe I should listen to these songs backwards. I probably won't.
