Shopping nowadays is a waste of time / myLot

May 30, 2020 1:16am CST

You will spend 3 hrs in line, an hour of shopping and i think another 2 or 3 hours for the payment as the line is also long. it is a waste of time to be honest. Thats why I buy most of the time in the mart near us. So happened they don't have the items i need.

This long line in the grocery is due to the limited operating hours. Add to the the crowd control so the waiting time is getting worse. I do not go shopping when I see the long line.

@Janet357 during weekdays, I go to the store before 12 noon. Usually no crowd.

Why don't you shop online. It is less time consuming and also you have many options of products to buy and are also cheaper.

Yes the ques in malls are very long. It's better to shop online or go when the rush is less. Also I think for items upto 10 items there is separate que and you can checkout faster

How so sad now, but with more shops reopening it should get better. Sometimes I am at a shop like that and like you I just bear it. I go to a shop near by too, but they don't have everything too. Tomorrow I'm going to Safeway, hopefully everything will be alright.

@Janet357 It's really good. They lock bathroom, had to go to customer service and they opened a very clean bathroom. So its all good. Thanks. Good deli choices too.

@Janet357 maybe everyone has the same thought, to the supermarket only on weekend. maybe you should change the routine to visit big mart on weekdays then

The shopping is huge task. Which will consume more time than anything. So I prefer to go for online shopping. As it'd more easy than others. The malls are always busy and takes lot of time

i guess it depends which grocery you go to. the line outside to get in moves fast. it's the line at the cashier that takes time.

Yes, that is true, same us here, that is why I don't like to go on shopping I find my needs in the nearby store, anyway only important things I need to find in the nearby store.
