Even though you're (gulp!) blocked, let me define my difficulties in grocery stores:
if there is an employee stocking the shelves, I will turn around rather than ask them to get out of my way. Even if they are not standing in front of something I want, they *might* be, and that makes me very upset, to the point of crying if I think of opening my mouth to ask them to move.
if there are more than 2 carts ahead of me in the aisle, I will turn around as I don't like playing bumper carts and find most other shopper oblivious to my existence. See above as to asking others to get out of my way.
at some point, someone will ask me where something is. I don't like this as it just reinforces for me how illogical the grocery stores are laid out, and I think the store clerks should be Looking for people to help, instead of lining up the last 2 cans of diced tomatoes in a perfect line, so that when you want to buy 4 of them, you are out of luck.
Can you tell I can go on and on? If I could economically buy my groceries online, I would. It would save me at least one .5 mg xanax tablet a week. What a savings!!
p.s. Post p-doc appointment: I have been underdosing the Topamax by half!!!! Watch out for me next week in the local supermarket!.
hugs,
