Shopping wouldn’t be so exasperating if stores didn’t set out to make the experience as difficult as possible. All I want is to get in and get out. I don’t want to spend 90 minutes in the soup isle because I can’t find a simple can of tomato soup. They have 60 different kinds of tomato soup.

Is it mint green, emerald green, greenish-gray? Can we be a little more specific? I’m moving on, forget the 600 types of tea with some shade of green. I’m over it.
