TikTok Is In Awe Of The Olympic Village Convenience Store & It's The Absolute Dream
"It's so perfect it doesn't look real."
Let's face it: even the best convenience stores are a little chaotic.
The makeup is next to the chips, the greeting cards are beside the toilet paper and certain things look like they haven't been touched in years.
But that's not so at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Team USA athlete Maddie Mastro recently shared a TikTok of the convenience store in the Athletes' Village, and we've truly never seen a store this organized.
"It's so perfect it doesn't look real," one user wrote in the comments.

The video shows the shelves perfectly filled with drinks, snacks, cute plushies, cleaning supplies — you name it and it's there. Not only that, but each item seems to be expertly lined up, so that even the labels are facing the exact same way.
Talk about precision!
This year, the main Athletes' Village is home to over 2,000 athletes and it also includes a Pizza Hut and KFC, because even athletes deserve a cheat day.
Mastro has been very active on TikTok since she arrived in Beijing, showing off exactly what it's like to be an athlete during the Olympics right now.
The snowboarder most recently shared a look at the Athletes' Parade during the opening ceremony from the perspective of Team USA, and we could definitely feel the emotion.

"Although it was my second one, it doesn't get old. It's a whole new experience, obviously, all over again but there's all the same nervous, excited emotions that happen. It doesn't get old at all, that was insane. One thing that has stayed the same is that my feet always hurt after," said Mastro on TikTok.
Another of her TikToks dived into the one thing we've all wondered about — what the food is like at the Olympics.

The dining hall has food options for literally everyone, catering to every dietary you can think of.
They also have robots making some of the food which left us wondering: How do we sign up for one of those?
In order to stay safe, athletes must wear gloves when getting their food. When they go to eat, the tables are sectioned off with plexiglass, so while you're "with" people, you have a barrier in between you and them.
Mastro also shared her daily experience of getting a COVID test — or a "throat jab" as she calls it. Athletes are required to test once a day.

We cannot wait to see all the other cool things that athletes get to do behind the scenes at this year's Olympic Games.
