The Five Stages of Shopping

How do you know when you’re spending too much time in the grocery store? When you’re in there too much, you’re in danger of reaching the following stages:

• Stage I: When you know the cashiers by name
• Stage II: When you get the store card. For instance, as some of you might know, I’m a member of Costco.
• Stage III: When you know where everything is
• Stage IV: When shoppers ask you where to find stuff
• Stage V: When employees ask you where to find stuff

 I’m in Stage IV. But I’m close. Really close.
