Try to see the bright side. Without the rubes buying things to
keep stores in business, you would not be able to shop there. I found
this out a while back about the Dollar Store. I go to one called The
Dollar Tree where everything sells for exactly a dollar. I like it -
aspirins, glass cleaner, even dishes. I don't shop recklessly. I go
in knowing what I want - I use a list if need be. But sometimes I'll
see something and it turns out to be a nice find.

Anyway, I realized one day that the aisles are not marked by
product, only by aisle number. This is to make people cover more
ground to find what they want so they can see other things and maybe
buy them.

Another thing I noticed is that since everything in the Dollar
Tree costs only a dollar, they sell candy bars for a dollar that would
cost less in a super-market. Without people buying a lot of needless
stuff or buying items they can get for less elsewhere, the dollar
store would go out of business. I like the dollar store. Sad to say
- just as cops need crime and doctors need disease, we who shop need
rubes to keep the places we shop at in business. Sad but true.
