I took my grandmother shopping yesterday. We went to Wal-Mart. The BIG Wal-Mart. Most stores have lots of square footage, this store has acreage. She needed to go to the pharmacy, so I took her that way. Then we went to the back of the store to look at fabric for her sewing project. She then took me all the way to the opposite end of the store to get her groceries. So far, no problem, this is a typical way to shop at Wal-Mart.
"Can you get me some cat food please? I need the big bag". Sure it will be faster if I get it. I look around and the cat food is ALL THE WAY on the other side of the store. So I begin hiking over there just to hike back with a 20 pound bag of cat food on my hip. So I ask if she is ready to go. "I forgot the aspirin". Guess who gets to walk back to the pharmacy on other end of store? This back and forth continues for awhile.
We finally check out and of course our car is parked on the opposite end of the store. I then walk her things to the back of the parking lot where I was forced to park and then drive up to pick her up. I think I walked a 5k at Wal-Mart.
