Why do some people insist on getting dressed up to go grocery shopping? At 10:30 a.m. on a Saturday there is no plausible reason you should be in a suit and heels/tie to get your tomatoes and french bread. If you work the night shift, surely you don't need to be that dressed up. If you have to work on Saturday, surely you should already be there.
I had occasion to be waiting in a car with the dog, sitting in front of the grocery store this morning. There was one woman, with a teensy shiny purse, a white overcoat, shiny heels and sunglasses who came out an fished around her tiny purse for way too long, to find her cell phone. Then she held it. And didn't use it. And then she started to walk off the step and into the parking lot. And when she got to the point where she had to stop to avoid being hit by a car backing out, she abruptly turned around and walked all the way back to the curb in front of the grocery store, still holding her phone. There are drugs for that honey.
Never did see what happened to her, but note that she did not have groceries. She was in the grocery store, but didn't buy anything. Window shopping? The grocery store does not seem like a logical place for this. It was a stand alone store, so really the only reason you should be going there is because you need something that you believe is sold there. Perhaps she was looking for new bedroom furniture and surprised it wasn't on display? This may not be as irrational as you think, because I think Loblaws sells the stuff. Did I mention it was Sobeys I've been talking about?
