Being the most famous guy on the planet in the 90s had some challenges, like getting groceries. Here's how Michael Jordan secretly got what he needed...
quote:

Jordan's former Bulls teammate Brad Sellers explained to The Undefeated ...

"You saw MJ doing laundry in the first few episodes [of ESPN's 'The Last Dance'] and that was him back then, the country side of him, just living like a regular dude."

“But, he just got bigger and bigger in basketball and to a point where he couldn’t go out. I remember saying to him one day, ‘Hey, M ... how do you eat?'"

"He told me he would call Jewel-Osco [a supermarket chain based in Chicago] about 15 minutes before they closed, and let them know he was coming in. They would stay open later to let him shop."

Sellers says MJ would break off staffers with a fat arse tip for their troubles.

But would they let him buy meat? Back then, the meat counters had sheets placed over them indicating the meat wasn't for sale when the butchers went home. This was often several hours before the Jewel stores closed.
