Target vs Publix

So... I strongly dislike grocery shopping. I'm not good at it. I don't like dealing with parking. Don't like pushing a buggy around. I don't like dealing with people... going around them, waiting for them, having them cut in front of me while looking at the shelf... it's not any one element that I can't handle. It's the whole package. Then... There's the check out. ALWAYS packed. You would think companies would figure out faster ways to take our money.

So, most of these issues are dealt with by shopping at Target. While it's a much smaller grocery store, there are less people and things are quieter. There's less to chose from. Which can be a good thing. Who would have known that there are 10 million different kinds of cheeses at a grocery store? Brands, styles, types, sizes... options, options, options. I love options. But sometimes, there are just too many!

Then there is publix. PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE! EVERYWHERE! They need to have lanes for all the people and buggies like they do for cars! They are everywhere! It's nuts! Loud! Slow... chaos! You can't get anywhere without saying "excuse me!" But, the good thing is they have WAY more stuff. I even found the new cookie 'n cream pop tarts! I'm really excited about that... Then. The dreaded checkout. Totally packed with people and full buggies! There's just no end. So, there I stand... bored. Running my phone battery down trying to find something to do.

Ok. Those are my thoughts of the day. Have fun shopping!
