does anyone else have problems with shopping? for example i went shopping this morning at a different store of the same chain of where i usually go, and because the store layout wasn't exactly the same, i felt confused.....
I especially hate when grocery stores are not set up the proper way (produce not on the right side of the store, meat at the back, dairy on the left w/ frozen foods and beer). bah..... ![]() |

You are not alone. Don't you hate it when a store you normally shop at decides to redo their layout and everything is on a different aisle than it used to be. I get so confused.

photographic memory, makes it a lot worse, since I usually plan out the shopping trip before I go.
I would've been awesome at "Supermarket Sweep." |

On my way home tonight I was thinking about stopping at the store first, but the only one between my work and home, is not set up correctly, so I just came home...
I just started like obsessing over like what I would get and where it was, and why is the frozen on the other side of the store where the milk is... This time at least I was able to realize what was going on, so I stopped it. But that's primarily because I've been in a good mood today (?) since I really didn't have to deal with all the people there that have half a brain (say 85% or so). I zoned out most of the day, but got a lot of work done, and I even worked an extra hour. |

I fill my prescriptions at Walmart but I hate needing to pick something up while I am there. The last time it took fifteen minutes to walk to the back of the store and grab a bag of cat food and some toilet paper and go back to the pharmacy. My asthma can't handle that.

I hate that too! ![]() Then the pharmacy lines are always way too long, and then I remember I needed to get something else, so I go get it, and start the wait in line all over again. Usually, that happens 2-3 times, so what was a 10 min trip to get my meds, ends up being more like an hour. Now, I just make my husband go. |

I loved supermarket sweep! Thanks for the reminder...
It is soooo annoying when they move stuff in the store. I'm like you Queen, prepared with a list in order by the aisles in the store...I know where everything is. It's nice. Then I go to the store and everything is moved....so confusing, but if I need toilet paper, I have to go find it. I'm sure they have a reason for re-organizing, but it sure does mess with my day. |

Shopping is always quite frustrating for me. I have to do things in a specific order and if they move something (or if they are out of something) it completely throws me off. Many times I end up abandoning the effort half way in because I just can't take it anymore, and that comes with it's own set of frustrations. Like still having to go back and finish shopping.

There are a couple grocery stores around here where you can submit your shopping list online, and they do the shopping for you, you just have to pick it up. I have always hesitated on using them, b/c I always have to inspect things before I purchase them. |
