I can really zone out when standing in line if there’s no expectations. Like maybe a movie where I have the tickets and I’ve shown up early for opening night.

In a supermarket it’s like you have to…

– watch the person in front of you

– make space for others

– load groceries onto the belt at the right time

– try to ignore the kid sitting in the basket burning holes through you with his eyes

–  swipe card correctly, hope there’s money in the account

– remember your PIN #

– bag or don’t bag your groceries

– decide on tip amount for bag boy

– remember where you parked

– don’t bump the supermarket checkout displays

– etc.

There’s a lot going on during the line check-out process. It’s not like we can zone out if we want, if I was allowed to zombie at that moment then all would be well.
