I am quite up front with my sweetheart about my slow, zig-zagging "gatherer" behaviour in grocery stores: I hate grocery store shopping, he knows it, and if he makes me go with him I will make him suffer in every way possible. On the other hand I can walk through a produce shop or the butcher or the whole foods store quite happily, browse everything quickly and leave with only what we needed. I simply cannot abide the visual and auditory assault commonly known as a grocery store. Interesting comment about annoying music in the fabric store: Not around the Toronto area, at least not any place I've been. It's always inocuous and easy to ignore. Which is saying something because I am very sensitive to sound and distractable by music. If I can't focus on the task at hand I will leave rather than fight the noise; enter my sewing room as exhibit 1 that it's never happened at a fabric store.
