Now I want to talk to you about something that I have never ever done. I will explain why later, but that thing that I have never done is do my grocery shopping online. Now I understand the appeal of it; not having to leave your home, not being tempted by deals or offers and saving yourself money and time. Having the stuff delivered to your home when you are there could save you petrol money, parking fees and any kind of nonsense plastic bag tax. Now to explain why I do not do it.
Now I love the supermarket. I love the colours, I love the products and I love the amount of people milling around both customers and the staff. It is a deeply strange place to be; a place that’s so unusual and so unlike anything else in the world. I get distracted so easily and love the sheer volume of it all, I love the noise of the supermarket.
