Answer: the kind that isn't always worrying about what other men think about them.

Also: men who aren't going to die alone b/c of their little hang ups.

I can’t stand to grocery shop with my stoker. I grab a can of beans and toss it in the cart. She would ponder the various brands and flavors of the same brand, read the nutrition labels and finally decide. In fairness, she doesn’t like to shop with me either because I go too fast.

Both baby mamas do delivery. They are never in a grocery store.

Agreed. Give me a list and I'm done in 45 mins door to door. Go with the wife and it's an afternoon.

Not hijack but thinking about my baby mamas not even going to the grocery store just having it delivered I watched part of a thing the other night on video games collectors. How great was it going to the store and buying an actual cartridge. Ripping off the wrapping. Opening it. The book enclosed. It was so satisfying. So great in and of itself. Downloading these things just doesn’t have the same great experience

CD's for me.

Haven't popped open a new CD in years.

like you, I buy and not shop. It isn't worth my time to ponder every possible choice.
 
Albums, back when they were real physical things.
They're still around. Music nerds love them. I tried. Expensive, and a pain in the ass having to go flip records over after 4 songs. :D

This shop in North Texas presses the much of the music from my 20's, and these bands never had records orginally, just CD's. Such great bands and scene...


You go in Landlocked and Tracks, right? Tons of good vinyl in there.

Hell, Walmart has vinyl now.

Blockbuster. Lord I spent so much time there. Usually higher than a kite.
 
Both of us hate to shop and so no way we both go.

We more or less take turns and have a list ahead of time of what we need, to get in and get out. We make a list of everything we need for meals that week, though that's probably more on my wife, 80/20, to make the list. If it were 100% up to her then everything would be vegetarian, so I have to have some input!

I cook on weekends, she cooks MOST weekdays, since I get home late.
 
I like grocery stores provided they aren’t too crowded. A list ruins all the fun, because you always run across a half dozen impulse buys that are just good fun.

In my younger days, and before they got bought by Kroger and went to shit, you used to be able to go MILF hunting at the Mariano’s wine bar.

Our friend DrHoops is known to frequent the Whole Foods bar and extoll the benefits of being a Porsche owner.

Same here. I want to have a plan going in, get what we need as quickly as possible, and get out the door. Not her. She likes to compare, she likes to look around, oh these are nice, yada yada yada.

The ride home as a kid after scoring it. Same feeling I used to get when I'd check magazine rack every mid September for Ncaa Basketball magazine releases.
 
Not being in the know, going to Walmart on consecutive Tueadays for the ncaa game you wanted and being told they dont have it, then finding out it was at KB toys or toys r us the last couple of weeks. lol. Even the booklets were sniffed on the way home like ya sniff panties now.
KB 🔥🔥🔥. I forgot that one. My minion doesn’t have any of those toy stores!!!! And Walmart smells like weed.

. And there were no cell phones. You had your parents racing you around town. The anticipation!!!! And stress!!!! Just waiting for the old man to announce he’s done. He ain’t driving anywhere else. No greater disappointment in life. Not even I’m on my period. You can plow through that. But dad’s done. That shit was at once final and devastating

True story.

When my daughter was 5 or 6 (she just turned 50) we received the sears catalog that showed cabbage patch dolls. Those were rare and hard to get at that time. She cajoled us into going to the local Sears to buy one. Of course they had none. When we got home she asked how come they are in the catalog and the store didn’t have any? I said I didn’t know, why don’t you call the store and ask. So she did. She wound up talking to some mucky muck and about a week later we got a phone call saying they had a cabbage patch doll waiting for her.
 
I know but it’s not the same. You walk those aisles over and over. You earned it. Scrolling Netflix just pisses me off
Right. I’ll scroll Netflix, find something that looks promising, keep scrolling looking for something better, when that fails I can’t find the first one. That is a pisser.

Customer service has gone way down since then.

When you find one, add it to your list then they put it on your homepage until you remove it.

We've done grocery delivery for nearly a decade now. Going to the grocery store seems such a massive time waste... And even worse you mostly have to scan and bag all your own shit.

The problem with delivery is that unless you are slaves to a particular brand, you can save a lot more money in person. For example, at Publix almost every week there is one brand of coffee marked buy-one-get-one-free. 50% off. Online they don't tell you which one it is. One week, Eight O'Clock, another New England, another Seattle's Best, and so on. I run with what is 50% off, every time. They do the same for one and only one kind of ice cream each week, one and only one kind of loaf of bread each week, one and only one kind of lunch meat each week, or potato chips, or fruit, and so on. I have spent $200 after discounts on groceries that would have cost $250 on line, BEFORE delivery fee and tip.

Plus a couple of times we did buy online, the shopper made a ridiculous substitution for something not available.
