Just went to the grocery store for Xmas dinner stuff.
And we went to a store where rich professors from OSU go to, slow clueless people blocking the isles staring blankly into their phones.
Just kinda out of it and slow.

We next had to go to marcs a store with the other end of the economic side of life.

Just kinda out of it and slow.

So why is it like this?
I thought with the rich types it was a I don't care about others and won't worry about being in the isles.
And the economically challenged were just slow because of heck who knows being dropped on their heads maybe.

But Damn they both had the same clueless states of being.

THAT would be a great study of human nature, the why the heck are people so clueless study?
Phones have made people way more unaware of what is going on around them.

You and me both, Skip.

I hit my regular grocery place yesterday, and that same level of cluelessness, general lack of spacial awareness, and just plain phone-zombie-ness was all over the
store here as well.

People leaving carts jackknifed in the middle of aisles while the carts owner wandered around looking for whatever it is they were looking for...

People knocking stuff off shelves and just wandering away,

Normally I spend about 45min or so shopping. Yesterday took nearly TWO HOURS! And a good 40min of that was in line waiting to check out.
