Supermarket Temptation
5 Answers
The queue for the checkouts in my local supermarket has us hanging around the alcohol shelves, like chocolates and sweets were for children in the olden days (!)
I wonder how many more bottles they’re selling than usual. I’m a drinker anyway. I wondered if many people are tempted to just chuck a bottle of whisky or whatever into their trolley that they wouldn’t normally.
Any ABers?

At Morrison's in Ipswich (which is the only supermarket where I feel safe enough to shop at the moment, unless I take a long drive to Waitrose on the far side of town) the queue for the tills is routed as a zig-zag path through the 'Nutmeg' range of children's clothing, with nobody rushing to make any impulse purchases there!
I'm generally quite good at resisting impulse purchases anyway, although I do have to hold myself back sometimes in the magazine sections of supermarkets.
