you walk past a man at the grocery store, the aisles have recently been reorganized and condensed because they're renovating the pharmacy section. you can hear him talking to himself, repeating the aisle number that the employee had told him, "TWO", clearly stressed out because he cant find the face-masks. he's holding his own face-mask on with one hand behind his head, grasping the broken straps with a few fingers, but he's determined to maintain his public obligation. you take note of this, and once you enter the next aisle, aisle THREE, you see that the face-masks are right there, right at the end of the aisle. you grab them, and walk back to the other aisle, hoping he's still there. he is. you hold the masks up, and he shoots his hands up as if his team just scored a goal. you toss him the masks, and he says something along the lines of "oh boy, i'm going to give that lady such a hard time!" he gives you two thumbs up and makes his way to the front of the store. on your way out of the store you see him teasing the employee that told him the wrong aisle, but they're both clearly enjoying the banter. you've just successfully stolen half a pound of port salut and two snake plants.
go out of your way to do stuff.

As an anthropological study? And well spent leisure time? Listen to music + see cool things + interesting people + look at peoples carts + analyze their behaviors + buy things you don’t need but want to try out
Today they had a 2/$5 deal with the strawberry cartons. And I got protein oat milk (please don’t shoot me). i saw an old guy with tattoos all over his face and body and smiled at him and he kind of sorta smirked back. A lady tried cutting in line but I made a stank face and she apologized and pretended to not notice! And got behind me. And I got help from a Tim Cook looking clerk because the self checkout was bugging out. I don’t shoplift anymore out of fear and because I have a contract with morality! It’s Holy Week!

So, you got things to do. Items to pick up. Ingredients to buy. Packages to drop off. Sometimes this feels like a chore. A burden. Maybe you don’t have enough time. And you succumb to the sirens of Bezos and Fresh Direct and Door Dash to make it easier. But. But, it’s nice to *choose* to make it not a chore. To take your time and BOP AROUND. To soften up those stiff tote bags. To see and walk and banter (or flirt!) with fellow human beings behind the counter, on the street or in the store. To listen to music or listen to the world as it moves around you. Errands aren't something to get through. There's nothing waiting for you on the other side of errands. Errands are life. You're doing it, you're living. Enjoy them!

slightly stoned, for about 10 seconds, i thought this was intentional and not just a manufacturing error. "maybe its so you can scoop the corners of the to-go container," i thought. i'm nothing but a fool
