About this book

Benjamin Lorr looks behind the displays and routines of grocery shopping, beginning with the work required to clean a supermarket fish counter. Night shifts, physical labor and the contrast between presentation and what lies beneath it establish the inquiry. His account approaches the grocery business through tasks and workers that customers rarely see.

The Secret Life of Groceries follows the American supermarket backwards: a trucking school, a Thai fishing boat where the labour is effectively forced, a slotting-fee negotiation, and the founder of Trader Joe's. Lorr worked a shift stocking shelves to see it from inside.
