What kind of shopper are you? 112012bucks-carl-sketch-blog480

I belong to the latter and start getting fidgety if I spend more than an hour at any shopping mall.

Shoppers enjoy options. I guess it’s fun for them to think about which shirt goes well with the sport coat they’re there to get. To nonshoppers, options just get in the way of getting stuff done. For them, shopping is not about entertainment, mixing and matching or assembling an evening ensemble (whatever that is).

It’s about the fastest way in and out of the store with the exact item you already know you need or want. This activity isn’t even the same thing as shopping. It deserves its own name, maybe purpose-driven-shopping, or even better “getting stuff.”

this kind of Q is dangerous because pressulu (panini-ji) thinks he's required to answer it, thus boring everyone here to death.
