I hate shopping.
The whole consumerism, value add, branding, is ultimately, a rip-off, community destroying, planet ruining system.
However, it seems to be the system that keeps humanity in some form of order.
Anyway, I had to get some keys cut, Bunnings Warehouse, provides this service.
Bunnings is an Australian version of "Home Depot" I guess.
Sitting there, waiting for the keys to be cut, provides time to observe the retail system in action.
Customers of all types wander into the store. Young to old, multiple ethnicities, a good variety that would make for a broad sample size for any survey.
Each having their own motivation. Renovations, repairs, general shopping, kitchens to bathrooms, gardens, construction, and so on.
A whole life cycle right there. A snapshot of humanity. Each striving, spending time and money and energy, to accomplish some task.
Employees, following a well run system. The training paying off in efficiency of transaction.
The lines ebb and flow. A mechanism. I don't like being the consumer. I would delight on the customer service side though.
Being a little fluey makes me irritable and sinister i my thinking.
This is humanity? Suburban life.
How well did the new keys work?
How reasonably priced was their service?
What you saw was a softened version of humanity.

Oh man, I almost forgot what the suburbs are like. If I want to get some keys copied, I go to the old mans shop downstairs, he does in in three minutes and jokes with your while he does it.

sounds more fun than watching the checkout people juggle, cutting keys, serving staff, organising breaks, dealing with refunds, enquiries and other pseudo management responsibilities.

Reasons to get out of the suburbs :-) I love the country and I love the city and I'd like to create something in between that isn't the suburbs
