I hate to shop

[Bidin~Time]

groceries, clothes, it doesn't matter the product, i hate to shop. Meandering through aisles of anything without a clear purpose makes me completely crazy, so I cannot grasp, nor appreciate, all this hype for black Friday.

I know I'm an enigma, but I am interested to know what makes this time of year with all its sales so attractive. Your thoughts/experiences on the subject?

but as a man people EXPECT you to hate shopping.

When I tell friends I have no idea how much money would have to be deposited in my bank acct to entice me to go to even one of those sales, I get stares of disbelief.

Maybe I need an intervention?

I've only ever done black Friday shopping once and it was so chaotic and crazy I was turned off forever. The deals don't justify such madness. (They're not really deals, anyway)

I also hate shopping. It fills me with anxiety to be out in a store (or worse yet, mall) So if ever shopping is necessary (As groceries tend to be) there is always a list. In, out, as few deviations from said list as possible. It also helps me to stay within budget.

Huh. What a silly view.

I know women who feel the same way.

? I look at it like there is nothing there you need.

When there is something I actually NEED, I decide in advance what that thing is, then I do my version of a hunt. Go where the item is, pick appropriate size and color, pay, and get the hell out.

Groceries, mean i have a list and do a grocery hunt.

Maybe to say there is nothing there I actually WANT would be more accurate.

you know awesome women, I know this 'cause I are one.

Are you sure you have two "X" chromosomes?

I have heard it said that while shopping men hunt and women forage. You sound like a hunter

I HATE malls with a passion. What kind of twisted fuck of an industrial psychologist can live with himself after designing store layouts like cricket traps. You get in and if you look over our shoulder you will see that the exit is obscured by that display they made you walk around to get inside.

Someday a fire in one of those places is going to kill people. I have walked up to sales people and taken them by the arm and said, "You will escort me out of this maze."

The exception to this are antique stores. It is OK to be trapped in one of those. It is basically a museum.

I have found online shopping/hunting to be very satisfactory.


And I don't have to change out of the ancient sweatpants, fuzzy socks and shapeless sweater.

Self checkout is where it's @

Oh, hell no. It always takes me longer to do it myself because there is always something that will not ring up or requires approval. If a minimum wage increase goes through plan on seeing a lot of those. Just the potential that it might be raised has probably cost jobs in anticipation.

I dunno. I have no problem pumping my gas and paying at the pump, so maybe in time they will work the bugs out.

They already have pizza and burger kiosks that are fully automated.

self checkout is nice, unless you have lighter fluid or lighters, produce, or otc decongestants in your buggy.

They let you bring your buggy into the store?
