I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.
The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?
Things I won't miss about being a freelancer: incorrectly estimating my taxes and owing a ton of cash at the end of the year.
So pissed at @thomashouston right now for not reminding me about James Blake last night.

What the hell makes anyone think it's easy to for anyone to find anything in a grocery store? The end caps have big, bright signs and the weekly specials are so flagged, you can't find a damn can of beans inbetween the two. Want to make your customers happy? Put stuff where it's supposed to be in the store and then LEAVE IT THERE! Organic beans on the elite aisle, other canned beans on the canned veggie aisle, dried beans on another aisle, pork 'n beans on the picnic aisle, sale beans on the freakin' endcap. Why not put all the beans together on the BEAN aisle? GPS my ass. The last thing I want to hear in the grocery store is a bunch of carts all shouting different directions for multiple hard-of-hearing shoppers. Unless the store is going to supply ear plugs for the rest of us.

Wow Mikey, sounds like you need a tranquilizer dart in your neck. Maybe you'll wake up with a GPS tag in your ear and a group of scientists watching your migratory patterns.

lol the people above me are getting a little extreme with this. it's grocery store GPS not the end of the world.
i think it's very easy to find things in the grocery store except the occasional random item. other than that, if you can read a sign, you can find what you need. it would probably be helpful to the illiterate as well.

I agree, it is funny. I thought pot helped to 'chill' the nerves too.
But in defense of elderly and I'm getting there at age 55, our eyes start to go. I have found very elderly people look to me to read signs above our heads. Not all elderly can afford to get eye glasses changed and some can't lift their necks up without pain. Since the hearing goes too, the sounds of GPS could be a problem but perhaps the store will just turn up the music louder. Smile.
I think grocery stores purposely change shelves around so customers might accidentally run into new products and they might buy more. Most staples (milk, flour, rice) are shelved in the back to 'drag' the customer back there so he might buy more--so I believe these are marketing tricks to help their business.
