SCP-3182 Grocery Store

It's interesting that this store is not haunted by literal ghosts, but is instead haunted by the ghost of young people's ambition. You see it a lot in retail/food service. People start out hopeful that they will only need the job for a couple years, but then that spark dies and they're still there a decade later. An SCP that is a really good representation of exactly that

Did the last D-Class survive though? Also, the fate of that one female ghost is tragic. Trapped but still trying to help those who are alive but there at the wrong time. I always love it when ghosts aren't evil beings but trying to help.

Damn, Dr. Bob really nailed the exhausted retail worker. Extremely, and painfully relatable.

Working at a grocery store is a nightmare on its own. If anything, something supernatural would only make the monotony of the job a bit more and interesting and bearable.

I like how this one reminds me of another store based SCP that makes all its fatally dangerous Business practices absolutely legal even adding new ones to prevent itself from being obstructed or explored like where the manager was even though they were a dried up corpse.

I'm guessing the writer(s) of SCP-3182 had some misgivings about working in a Denton grocery store. At least from the vibes I'm getting from watching/reading it...

Dr bob is a W

Feeling stuck in a dead-end retail job in the small podunk town you were born in...this has to be one of the scariest scps created, because that kind of dread and anxiety is too real when you can relate.

As someone who works in a grocery store in missouri, this one hit home lol

The most unbelievable part of this story was that a D class was returned to prison with a reduced sentence after completing a test

Keep doing what you're doing Dr. Bob, we love you and never stop!

Watching this on my break at a grocery store, hitting a little too close to home lol

Some say a haunting happens when traumatic events build up leaving a “mark” behind. Not necessarily someone dying, but more of an emotional mark. In this case the writer really wanted to convey that feeling of being trapped in a dead end job in a dead end town. Not necessarily the thoughts of one person but of hundreds. Emotional stains left from years of stagnation and regret. The ghost might have been the first victim. Someone who had a panic attack driven by this anomaly that caused her to perish in fear. The fear of being trapped forever As someone who has recently moved to a small town I personally find it relaxing compared to a larger city. Unfortunately for the youth there isn’t too many places to work, so this sort of feeling could be relatable. Scary thing is there is a grocery store that almost fits this description. So my mind went there well the story was being told. Definitely a good entry when it makes you connect to real life places 😨

I love SCPs like this. Stories and backgrounds just rife with speculation. Just wondering how it all began is just as enjoyable as not knowing in the first place. Dr Bob takes advantage of this phenomenon to great and entertaining effect.

Sometimes, places take on an impression - echoes of people, emotions, events. One such impression was the attic with hate inside of it. Another - a supermarket, filled with the collective thoughts of thousands passed through it and coalesced into one, melted-together, vague consciousness - with the fear of being trapped and consumed by this godforsaken town. A third, perhaps - is a thing a quiet madness made.

Overtime finna go crazy

It's like the Backrooms has a supermarket

I live in Denton, this is accurate.

This didn't have to go after me so hard in the beginning. Didn't know I was coming to an SCP video just to be roasted.

Dr Bob has become the only reason I visit YouTube these days..
