The Death Trap They Call The Supermarket
When you grocery shop there are three types of people that you will run into. List People, Non-List People and "Glassy Eyed Zombies." I don't mind grocery shopping, I kinda like it, I am not a list person, I distract very easily, thats why they use such bright colors on candy boxes and always have new cereal containers because that will make it seam like you might never have had it before and you NEED to be up on things, so you buy it and when you get home you find that you have a box of Raisin Bran but with "The Two Scoops" guy smiling and without the sunglasses, I am the "Marketing Team's Dream Moron." I am not a Non-list guy either because the wife and I put a list up and when we think of things to buy we just write them on the paper and then take it with us, and I know you are thinking that thats a "List Guy" but when you go to Walmart you know you are going to look at the 5 buck bin and that "Uncle Buck" DVD was not on your list when you walked in the store. I don't mind the "Glassy Eye Zombie" types, I think sometimes that is me. When I wonder off to get something I just get it and wonder around looking for stuff. The other thing that I don't like about grocery store is when they move stuff. I loath this. It's like walking down the cracker aisle and then looking around and seeing bottles and bottles of spaghetti sauce when you just want a box of Cheez-its. Super uncool supermarkets. Sometimes I wish I knew where they shopped so I could go rearrange the store so they can feel my anger!
