When I shop without a cart or basket, the mental energy it takes to not put something in my pocket so I can hold things better is a lot more than 0
This reminds me of how I this summer I went to a store only to discover that they don’t sell the ice cream I wanted to buy, so I just ended up buying some crackers to not feel akward. (but anyway, the crackers were good)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a bitch
Me when i walk in to get my daily powerade and they don’t have my flavor. I’m in and out in 30 seconds flat but i feel so guilty over nothing.
One time I got trapped in a store because the door was behind the counter where the register was and a guy was sitting there the whole time. I decided not to buy anything, but I looked around for a while so I felt like he might question me. So I just kept pretending to look around which made it even more awkward to leave empty handed.
I think I decided not to buy anything after 20 minutes but spent a whole hour in there trying to figure out how to leave
Legend says he’s still stuck in that store to this day

I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t think that’s what the meme was meaning. I think it meant when you leave empty handed, it looks like you’re shoplifting. That makes you nervous and you start acting weird which makes you look even more suspicious and more nervous. Wash, rinse, and repeat till you get home and cry because social situations are awkward and hard and life would be so much easier if I was alone on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in that one movie.
… I might’ve lost track towards the end, but you get the idea.
It’s a meme mate
