Relatively wholesome Adult Swim cut

This is quite literally just a guy named Joe Pera going about his day grocery shopping. It's cute and very soothing, but there's two uses of "goddamn"

Trivia
Fred, the grocery store employee manning the ham sample stand, is played by Jo Firestone's father.

Goofs
During the opening montage, they present the grocery store "opening for business," including such details as the lights being turned on, a cashier logging into her station, plastic wrap being removed from salad bar bowls, some inventory being replenished, and more.

However, at the end when the exterior is shown, the store's marquee says it is open 24 hours. Therefore, there's no opening event that would ever take place.

Quotes
Joe Pera: [Joe Pera picks up and looks at bananas] Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm not doing my impression of Jim Carrey in the 2008 film Yes Man. In my mind, I just ask myself three simple questions about this product: Should I eat this? Will I eat this? Can I afford this food? If I say yes to all three, I'll get it.
[Joe Pera puts bananas in shopping cart and moves on]
Joe Pera: In the modern supermarket, where I can have anything, I must draw the line myself. Like the casino, it promises good times, but without restraint I will get ruined.
[Joe Pera picks up and looks at swiss chard]
Joe Pera: Yes! No! Yes! I'm always struck by the colors of swiss chard, but never know what to do with it, and end up chucking it over the fence.
